1973 Soundtrack – Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Jonathan Livingston Seagull is the soundtrack album to the 1973 American film Jonathan Livingston Seagull, recorded by singer-songwriter Neil Diamond and produced by Tom Catalano. The album was released on Columbia Records, Diamond’s debut for that label after his contract with MCA Records’ Uni subsidiary had expired, and grossed more than the film itself. It was Diamond’s ninth studio album, and his first album after his successful 1972 live album Hot August Night. It won the 1974 Grammy as Best Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or a Television Special
