Which classic song was inspired by a U.S. president’s daughter?
“Help Me, Rhonda”
“Come on Eileen”
“Sweet Caroline”
“Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”
In a 2007 interview, the legendary singer-songwriter Neil Diamond revealed that the inspiration behind his hit song “Sweet Caroline” was President John F. Kennedy’s daughter, Caroline Kennedy, who was eleven years old at the time it was released. Diamond recounted that a magazine cover featuring Caroline as a young child on a horse with her parents created a powerful image in his mind, and the song began to take shape about five years after seeing the photograph. Diamond sang the song for Caroline at her 50th birthday celebration.
The correct answer is “Sweet Caroline”.
