Album Notes
When
a
act
has
two*
gold
records
to
their
credit,
and
has
sold
over
10
million
records,
and
then
apparently
drops
from
sight,
everyone
says"
what
ever
happened
to
them?".
Ordinarily
this
could
apply
to
The
Diamonds,
except
everything
has
happened
to
them...and
all
good.
The
Diamonds
have
become
one
of
the
few
"kid"
acts
to
make
the
transition
to
an
adult
act,
which
is
proven
by
their
tremendous
success
in
such
supper
clubs
and
lounges
as
Harvey's,
Lake
Tahoe,
The
Riviera
Hotel,
Los
Vegas,
The
Edgewater
Beach
Hotel,
Chicago.
To
name a few.
Under
the
guidance
of
their
personal
and
business
manager,
Nat
Goodman,
who
started
them
on
their
career
in
show
business.
The
Diamonds have changed from a straight singing act to a hilarious and funny adult night act.
*(At the writing of this piece, only two of The Diamonds’ recording had been certified gold. The third one, “Silhouettes”, gold certification
came later.)
