Neil Diamond Owned The Ed Sullivan Stage — Until Elvis Tried To Steal His Moment

Description: In 1969, Neil Diamond faced the biggest test of his career. He stepped onto the legendary stage of The Ed Sullivan Show—the exact same spot where The Beatles and Elvis Presley had changed music history. Neil delivered a flawless, elegant performance of his new song, "Sweet Caroline," proving to the world that he was the new prince of pop. The night belonged to him.

But then, The King decided to take over.

This is the story of how Elvis Presley didn't just listen to Neil’s new hit—he "hijacked" it. Shortly after Neil's TV triumph, Elvis began performing "Sweet Caroline" in Las Vegas. He took Neil’s sweet ballad and turned it into an explosive power anthem, threatening to overshadow the original songwriter completely.

In this video, we break down the moment Neil Diamond conquered the Ed Sullivan show, and the terrifying honor of watching Elvis Presley try to "steal" his biggest hit right out from under him.
