Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" inspired by famous young girl-video

How cool would it be to find out that a picture of you as a young girl inspired a former #1 song?!
That's exactly what happened to Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, daughter of John and Jackie Kennedy when Neil Diamond finally broke his silence and 'fessed up that she was the sweet Caroline in his famous song.
"It was a(magazine)picture of a little girl dressed to the nines in her riding gear, next to her pony," Diamond recalled. "It was such an innocent, wonderful picture, I immediately felt there was a song in there."
Diamond performed the song via satellite for Schlossberg's 50th birthday party, which almost makes up for the fact that the song he wrote about a 10 or 11 year old girl contained lyrics like "touchin' me, touchin' you".
It's a nice song, but I still prefer the one the Rolling Stones wrote for me when I was only three years old.
