Diamond was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. He received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000 and, in 2011, he was recognized at the Kennedy Center Honors. He has ten #1 hit singles: Cracklin’ Rosie, Song Sung Blue, Longfellow Serenade, Desiree, You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, Love on the Rocks, America, Yesterday’s Songs, I’m a Believer, and Heartlight.

His other most popular songs such as Forever In Blue Jeans, Sweet Caroline, Kentucky Woman, and Red Red Wine have been included on recent albums such as All-Time Greatest Hits and Melody Road.
