The Jazz Singer es una pelicula de 1927 de la que se dice que es el primer largometraje comercial con sonido sincronizado, no obstante parece ser que años antes, ya había videos con sonido e intentos de cine sonoro; pero este artículo, no va de esta controversia y tampoco de esta pelicula, sino de otra posterior. En 1980 se hizo una nueva versión de The Jazz Singer, una película ya en color y con mejor sonido. Uno de los protagonistas principales de esta película fue Neil Diamond, al que podemos ver en los videos que he buscado para este fin de semana. Espero que le gusten a alguien. La película creo que se puede ver por internet si hay alguien interesado en películas musicales.




El 22 de enero anunció que dejaba la gira de conciertos que tenía prevista, cancelando los de Australia y Nueva Zelanda. Dejo un extracto del anuncio y creo que cuenta con el reconocimiento y comprensión de todos los que alguna vez escucharon su música y sus canciones:
JANUARY 22, 2018FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEIL DIAMOND ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM CONCERT TOURING AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND TOUR DATES CANCELLED Legendary Artist Will Continue To Write, Record & Pursue New Projects Legendary singer, songwriter and performer Neil Diamond today announced his retirement from touring due to his recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. The onset of the disease has made it difficult to travel and perform on a large scale basis but will allow Mr. Diamond to continue his writing, recording and development of new projects. Based on his doctors’ advice, the third leg of Diamond’s 50th Anniversary tour, set to land in Australia and New Zealand this March, has been cancelled. “It is with great reluctance and disappointment that I announce my retirement from concert touring. I have been so honored to bring my shows to the public for the past 50 years,” said Neil Diamond.”My sincerest apologies to everyone who purchased tickets and were planning to come to the upcoming shows. I plan to remain active in writing, recording and other projects for a long time to come. My thanks goes out to my loyal and devoted audiences around the world. You will always have my appreciation for your support and encouragement. This ride has been ‘so good, so good, so good’ thanks to you.” ...
