2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1

Jess Robin

Contest: 2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1
From the 1980 version of the Jazz Singer, we have Neil Diamond as Jess Robin, (though his birth name was Yussel Babinovitch). The critics destroyed the film, but Diamond delivered what he always did: great songs. The film did not survive (though that was not necessarily Diamond’s fault), but the songs did, which included “Love on the Rocks”. Did we necessarily think it was a great role? No…but Neil is a major factor in music history, and this is a great way to induct him.
