In Laura Kolonie's letter "Redox Rap" (J. Chem. Educ. 1997,74, 22), she inadvertently attributes the song
"Rock Me Gently" to Neil Diamond. In fact, this song
(Capitol #3895) was a number-one hit for Andy Kim in July of
1974. Kim, a Canadian-born artist, also co-wrote the Archies
hit "Sugar, Sugar" (with Jeff Barry, #1 in August 1969).
Many have compared Andy Kim's singing voice to that of
Diamond, but the interest of accuracy, in what is an
otherwise interesting letter, I thought I should correct this case of
mistaken identity!
