Neil Diamond saw The Monkees take his song ‘I’m a Believer’ to #1 in 1966, but four years later he’d land his first #1 as a recording artist with ‘Cracklin’ Rosie.’
The rollicking song about a band of men who find solace in Cracklin’ Rosé wine was inspired by the tale of a Canadian First Nation tribe in which the men significantly outnumbered the women.
