In concert, Neil Diamond often egged on the crowd to request the same song again and again. During one performance, Diamond, wearing creased slacks, sang one of his hits six times in a row. The song in question? "Forever in Blue Jeans."

[Diamond composed the music for the film Jonathan Livingston Seagull. One of Diamond's bandmates dubbed it Jonathan Livingston Seaturkey. Time's verdict? "Bird Droppings."]
