Songfacts: As found at http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=13709 An early venture into World Music, this was part of a suite of songs known as "The African Trilogy." Neil Diamond studied African culture at the Kenyon Mission, the United Nations and the African Studies department at UCLA. "Soolaimon" can mean "hello," "welcome," "good-bye" and "peace be with you." The African Trilogy was arranged by the Jazz musician Marty Paich. This was often a highlight of Diamond's live shows. He sometimes used it to open his concerts.
