Diamond song performed by Jay evokes the power and the passion of a live Diamond

thousands of Diamond fans that he is the closest thing to the Real Deal – and he’s also humbled

to have been acknowledged and embraced by Neil, Neil’s family and Band for performing the

Brooklyn-born singer/songwriters’ music live in concert in the most respectful, convincing way

possible. Jay stated: “Neil’s kindness and acceptance has always been greatly appreciated and

I’m honored to have appeared with him on his “Stages” Box Set DVD. Now, more than ever, I
