in late 1969, he moved to los angeles. after "brother love's travelling salvation show" in february 1969, his sound mellowed, with such songs as "sweet caroline" (1969), "holly holy" (1969), "cracklin' rosie" (1970) and "song sung blue" (1972), the last two reaching no. 1 on the hot 100. "sweet caroline" was diamond's first major hit after his slump. in 2007 diamond said he had written "sweet caroline" for caroline kennedy after seeing her on the cover of "life" in an equestrian riding outfit, but in 2014, he said in an interview on the today show that it was written for his then wife, marcia. he could not find a good rhyme with the name "marcia", and so used the name caroline. it took him just one hour, in a memphis hotel, to write and compose it. the 1971 release "i am...i said" was a top 5 hit in both the us and uk and was his most intensely personal effort to date, taking over four months to complete.
