Description :
Out of print in the U.S.! Originally released in 1982, Heartlight was Diamond's successful album named after the smash hit title track. The song 'Heartlight' itself was inspired by the movie E.T. Neil co-wrote that track, along with many songs on the album, with Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager. The album sessions were performed by his regular touring band plus guest appearances from Bacharach, Michael Omartian, Jim Keltner, David Foster, Lee Ritenour and many others. 11 tracks.

- One of ND's best, and underrated at that...In assembling a Neil Diamond collection, many people might tend to overlook this album. After all, only one song on it was a real hit, and one more makes it into the boxed set "In My Lifetime". Nevertheless, this album is a real delight, and with the possible exceptions of the "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" LP and "Taproot Manuscript", this is my favorite true stand-alone ND album. (The likes of "Love Songs", "Rainbow", and "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" not counting as regular albums of Neil's). "In Ensenada", "Hurricane", and "Front Page Story" are great...heck, the whole album is great! Get it, you won't be dissapointed.

- "Heartlight" is a delight"Heartlight" is a gem of an album Neil Diamond put out in 1982. Amidst this wonderfully crafted array of satisfying easy listening tunes lies some up tempo rocking numbers that will have you dancing in the aisles. The title track is taken from the motion picture "E.T". My personal favorites other than the title track are: "I'm Alive", "Front Page Story" and "Comin' Home". The fact that this CD contains songs written by Burt Bacharach makes "Heartlight" a masterpiece. Buy your copy today!

- Neil's last truly great album of original materialUntil the release of his box set "Stages," virtually all of Neil's later albums were mediocre at best. This album is quieter, more melodic and less abrasive than Diamond's subsequent releases making heavy use of synthesizer and guitar picking. I also enjoy Ron Tutt's style of drumming much more than longtime drummer Dennis St. John's stale, tired, routine playing. There is nary a bad track on this album, possibly his most underrated one, and I was glad to hear that even people who gave it bad reviews still liked the tracks entitled "Front Page Story" and "In Ensenada." They are my two favs as well and really wish he would do a live version of them.

- Some Of "Neil Diamonds" Best WorkmanshipNeil Diamond has long been one of my very most favorite artists. I Feel that "Heartlight" was overlooked and under-rated for the most part. If You as I do appreciate the totality of the songs and lyrics you select.....then you'll be very pleasantly surprized with "HEARTLIGHT"; and it will strike all the right cords in Your Heart too!!!!!!!!!
