Brooklyn Roads Neil Diamond (1968)

What Neil had to say about this song: "I had just signed with MCA Records and wanted to stretch my creative wings. This is the most literal and personal story I had written up to that point. 'Brooklyn Roads' told of my youth and my aspirations. I loved the freedom of being able to write something without the charts in mind."

Recorded in 1968 from the album 'Velvet Gloves and Spit'
