The story behind

Neil Diamond wrote "Holy Holy" in 1969 and recorded it with the Memphis Studio Band. The song was released as a single on October 13 of that year and reached #6 on the U.S. pop chart. It also peaked at #5 on the easy listening chart. It went gold and later platinum. The lyrics have a spiritual touch, as if blending love with a biblical story. At first, Diamond sings alone, but then a gospel choir comes in, adding more power. A part of the lyrics recalls a Gospel story: “Touch a man who can’t walk straight, and that lame man will fly.” It’s a song that feels like more than just a ballad, as if there’s a weight in the air. ↓ Skip to chords

Did you know

UB40 got their start in 1978 in Birmingham, with a group of friends who got together to play music. Their sound blends reggae with more pop-oriented rhythms, and they quickly began to make a name for themselves. They have sold over 100 million albums worldwide. One of their most famous songs is “Holy Holy,” which appeared on one of their early albums. The band always had a diverse feel: the musicians came from different places, such as England, Wales, Ireland, Jamaica, Scotland, and Yemen. That gave them a unique energy, which is evident in every note.
