Cultural Facts:

1. The Soundtrack Outlived the Movie: Diamond wrote and recorded the music for the 1973 film adaptation of Richard Bach's bestselling novella. The movie struggled critically and commercially, but the soundtrack became a major success and eventually sold far more copies than the film drew viewers.
2. Diamond Sued Over the Final Film: He became unhappy with how his music was used in the finished movie and took legal action against the production. The dispute became one of the strangest chapters of his early-'70s career, especially since the album itself was thriving.
3. A Grammy and a Golden Globe: The project earned Diamond the Grammy for Best Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or Television Special and the Golden Globe for Best Original Score, making it one of the most decorated soundtrack projects of his career.
