His voice starts soft and slow, like a small earthquake…then soars into a glorious baritone, extolling the praises of Sweet Caroline, Crakling’ Rose, I’m a Believer, September Morn and all your favorite hit songs. But this is not New York’s Neil Diamond – it’s Chicago’s Denny Diamond, stylist extraordinaire.
