Love on the Rocks (Neil Diamond song)
"Love on the Rocks" is a song written by Neil Diamond and Gilbert Bécaud that appeared in the 1980 movie ''The Jazz Singer'' and was performed by Diamond on the soundtrack album to the film. It was also released as a single and reached #2 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 for four weeks in January 1981, during the five-week reign of (Just Like) Starting Over by John Lennon. In addition to the main chart Love on the Rocks also made it to #3 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart in the US.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-jazz-singer-mw0000189785/awards )〕 ''Billboard'' also rated it as the #26 pop single overall for 1981. It performed less well in the UK, reaching only #17.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/_/neil%20diamond/ )〕 It was covered by Millie Jackson on her 1981 album ''Just a Lil' Bit Country'', and by Gladys Knight on the album ''Great Solo Performances by Guest Artists from the Tom Jones Show, Vol. 1''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/great-solo-performances-by-guest-artists-from-the-tom-jones-show-vol-1-mw0001003207 )〕 Bécaud covered the song on his 1991 album ''Mon Copain''.
''Billboard Magazine'' critic Vicki Pipkin called "Love on the Rocks" a "powerful ballad in true Diamond style." ''Billboard'' also called the song "one of Diamond's more powerful readings." Neil Diamond biographer Laura Jackson describes the lyrics as taking "a sometimes cynical look at a man who is trapped in a relationship and is disillusioned with life."〔 Allmusic critic Johnny Loftus calls it a "lite FM favorite" and "classic, raw-throated Neil." Author T. Mike Childs rated it as a "terrific" ballad. ''Pittsburgh Press'' music editor Carl Apone claimed that Diamond was at his best in ''The Jazz Singer'' in the songs "Hello Again" and "Love on the Rocks."
The Darkness paid tribute to Neil Diamond's "Love on the Rocks" with their own 2003 song "Love on the Rocks with No Ice."
