Cracklin'' Rosie'' by Neil Diamond Limited Edition Poster Prints of Original Painting

‘Cracklin' Rosie’ is a 1970 song written and performed by Neil Diamond. This was Neil Diamond's first American No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1970, and his third to sell a million copies. It become Diamond's breakthrough single on the UK Singles Chart in 1970, reaching No.3. The lyrics suggested to some a devotion to a woman of the night but in actuality, Cracklin' Rosie was the nickname used by a native Canadian tribe for their homemade alcoholic brew, which the single men, who did not have dates, would sit around the fire and drink together.
