THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
426-Neil Diamond-Cracklin’ Rosie.
1970-Number 3 single
Best Bit-At 2.33 I am confident that from this point onward in this song even I could do a karaoke performance justice.
The song was written for the music director Rosalie Trombley of ‘CKLW’ radio in Ontario,Canada.She was very influential on what got played and could make or break a song,the ‘play it now’ refrain of the song was a direct plea to her.
Cracklin’ Rosie is a type of wine.Diamond(see also best songs 536) heard a story about a native Canadian tribe who had more men than women,so the lonely men of the tribe would sit around the fire and drink their wine together,which inspired him to write the song.
The musicians on the song are ‘The Wrecking Crew’ who played on several classic hits of the 1960’s and 70’s,I will list all the songs they played on in this best 1000 countdown at a later date.
‘Cracklin’ Rose you’re a store bought woman you make me sing like a guitar hummin”
