Editorial Reviews

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. Camden. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of ND's best, and underrated at that..., September 18, 2000

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 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!
