bribriny

40 Years Ago - 1982 Neil Diamond released his fifteenth album Heartlight.

The title track peaked at #5 and it was his last top 10 pop hit and also his last #1 AC hit, while "I'm Alive" was his last top 40 hit, reaching #35 and #4 AC. "Front Page Story" made #65 and #5 AC.

"Heartlight" reportedly was inspired by the 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Diamond allegedly settled with MCA/Universal for $25,000, due to the song's supposedly drawing on the material of the film.
