Sony/ATV Music Publishing has re-signed singer/songwriter Neil Diamond to a long-term, worldwide publishing agreement.
Diamond, who has been with Sony/ATV since 1992, has sold more than 125 million records, scored 36 top 40 hits and performed at thousands of sold-out shows all over the globe during his 40 plus-year career, according to the press release announcing the deal.
During that time, Diamond was nominated 12 times for a Grammy, winning once; was a Golden Globe recepient; has been inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and is recipient of that organization’s prestigious Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award. Moreover, Diamond remains at the top of his game as his last album “Home Before Dark,” released last year, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
“Neil Diamond is one of the greatest singer/songwriters of an entire generation,” chairman and CEO of Sony/ATV Music Publishing Martin Bandier said in a statement. “We are thrilled that Neil has decided to remain with us and we all look forward to helping expose his incredible catalogue and future work through various media.”
