Neil Diamond continued his long winning streak with this relaxed, palatable follow-up to 1973's JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL. SERENADE contains the sunny hit "Longfellow Serenade" as well as the equally charming, if less well-known "Rosemary's Wine," and typical grandiose orchestral ballads like "I've Been This Way Before" and "Yes I Will." There's also the fanciful "The Last Picasso" and the Caribbean-flavored "Reggae Strut," all adding up to a classic collection of flamboyant early-'70s pop.
