Forever In Blue Jeans
(Neil Diamond)

"Forever in Blue Jeans" is a song by Neil Diamond which was co-written with his guitarist Richard Bennett. This up-tempo track, released as a single by Columbia in February 1979, was taken from the previous year's Neil Diamond album "You Don't Bring Me Flowers". According to the clothes manufacturer 'Cotton Incorporated' Diamond may have been right when he named this 1979 hit as 81% of women are planning their next jeans purchase to be some shade of blue. The song has been used to promote the sale of blue jeans, most notably Will Ferrell, impersonating Neil Diamond singing, for The Gap. Ironically, Diamond himself did radio ads for H.I.S. brand jeans in the 1960s, more than a decade before he sang this song.
