Neil Diamond usually did right by his covers. Never "faithful" but kind of "Diamond-ized" versions with great string arrangements.

His version of Roger Miller's "Husbands and Wives" was my mom's favorite song, and as her caregiver in her later years, I played it for her every day up 'til her death at the age of 95.

His "God Only Knows" is very beautiful indeed.
