Neil Diamond releases “Sweet Caroline” today in 1969.
No, it wasn’t about young Caroline Kennedy. “I needed a three-syllable name,” Diamond said. “The song was about my wife at the time — her name was Marsha — and I couldn’t get a ‘Marsha’ rhyme.”

Marsha!
I don't know why saying "it was a sweet innocent picture and I thought there was a song there" to Caroline ONCE outweighs all the other times he said it was about Marcia
I had no idea.
My kids and I listen to it all the time.
