Before Neil Diamond had his first # 1 with “Cracklin Rose” in 1970, he wrote two major hits for the Monkees, “I’m a Believer” and “A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You.” In 2011, he was inducted not only into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but also received a Kennedy Center honor. His first album, “The Feel of Neil Diamond,” released on Bang Records in 1966, contains his hits “Solitary Man” and “Cherry Cherry.” The 45’s on Bang are worth no more than $10-$20 but an original copy of the album can get you $75.00 today.
