What it is
"America" is a song written and recorded by Neil Diamond for the soundtrack to his 1980 film The Jazz Singer, and reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 as a single. It is an upbeat take on the history of immigration to the United States, covering both the early 1900s and the present day, and was later used at events such as the Statue of Liberty's centennial re-dedication.
