  During the period surrounding the live performance of "Cherry, Cherry" on December 13, 1996, Neil Diamond experienced a resurgence in popularity following his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. Leading up to this performance, he released the album "Tennessee Moon" in 1996, which featured more country-inflected sounds, reflecting his evolving musical style. Notably, "Cherry, Cherry," originally a hit in 1966, is one of Diamond's signature songs and showcases his ability to blend catchy melodies with introspective lyrics. The performance on the "Late Show" not only highlights his enduring talent but also marks a significant moment in Diamond's career, as he engaged with the audience in a humorous and candid conversation with host David Letterman, illustrating his charm and personality beyond the music.
