Diamonds and Rust - Joan Baez
Diamonds Are Forever - Shirley Bassey
Neil Diamond
appropriate for a historical novel review site - where we have reviewed several novels on this topic!
To The Neil Mobile... an excerpt from The Big Bang Theory
(the episode features a competative treasure hunt - although Howard and Amy don't seem to be taking it as seriously as the others...)
Rhianna - Diamonds
'Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shining bright like a diamond
We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky…'
Marilyn Monroe.... and her best friends...
Hawk Nelson is making diamonds out of dust...
and what about 'tangerine trees and marmalade eyes' with Lucy still in the sky with diamonds...
(rumours that this song was about drugs were very wrong - in fact it was inspired by a painting John Lennon's young son produced: "What is it?" John asked...
"It's Lucy in the sky with diamonds [stars]" came the reply
Pink Floyd... shining with a crazy diamond
and finally: Jet Harris and Tony Meehan...

Brilliant choices to finish the theme, Helen. This has been such a wonderful month of excellent stories- my thanks for sharing them with everyone. Wishing you and yours, and all of the Diamond Tales contributors, a very Merry Festive Season!
ReplyDeleteGreat selection, Helen. May I add one of my own? Michelle Pfeiffer, under the character name of Suzy Diamond with Jeff Bridges in The Fabulous Baker Boys singing Making Whoopee.

DeleteA sparkling finale. Once again thank you Helen for putting together a truly fabulous event throughout December.
ReplyDeleteAll during December, we read about fabulous diamonds - lost, found, stolen, hidden in attics. Only, at the end, to realize we had a special diamond in our midst all along.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Helen, for the gift of your endurance, encouragement, and most of all, your Brilliance.
Thank you every one - Richard as soon as I get a chance I'll add your link. Inge - thank your words brought a few little tears...
