Touching You, Touching Me
''Touching You, Touching Me'' is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Neil Diamond. It was the first one since 1966 to feature renditions of other people's material as well as his own. It included a major hit that had already charted, "Holly Holy" (#6), and a minor one, "Until It's Time for You to Go" (#53). The album itself reached #30 on the ''Billboard'' album chart and was certified gold. Lee Holdridge was the arranger and conductor. Despite its title coming from lyrics for the hit song "Sweet Caroline", that track was not included on the US version as it was already on the previous ''Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show'' album. On the UK edition, "Sweet Caroline" was included as the last track on Side A. Track listing All songs written by Neil Diamond, except where noted.

Neil Diamond Albums
Neil is a masculine name of Irish origin. The name is an anglicisation of the Irish '' Niall'' which is of disputed derivation. The Irish name may be derived from words meaning "cloud", "passionate", "victory", "honour" or "champion".. As a surname, Neil is traced back to Niall of the Nine Hostages who was an Irish king and eponymous ancestor of the Uí Néill and MacNeil kindred. Most authorities cite the meaning of Neil in the context of a surname as meaning "champion". Origins The Gaelic name was adopted by the Vikings and taken to Iceland as ''Njáll'' (see Nigel).

Before the Kent Report, ''Go-Set'' magazine published weekly Top 40 Singles from 1966, and albums chart from 1970 until the magazine's demise in August 1974. David Kent later published Australian charts from 1940 to 1973 in a retrospective fashion, using state by state chart data obtained from various Australian radio stations.
