“He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” (Neil Diamond) #20 12/19/1970

An outstanding song will always shine through no matter who sings it. Originally a smash for the Hollies (after Joe Cocker turned it down!), Neil Diamond’s version was also a Top 20 hit. He included this on his very bold “Tap Root Manuscript” album. It’s always interesting when a great songwriter records a tune that they didn’t write.
