Birthday Quiz: Cracklin' Cake

I'm sure some Cracklin' Rose will be drunk tonight at Neil Diamond's party.

Over the weekend I made note of two words that I wanted to work into today's quiz: "doyenne" and "Luddite." And I heard that the name of the backup goalkeeper at Leicester City soccer club is Pegguy Arphexad, and it's a guy, no less. (Hee hee hee -- Pegguy. Hee hee hee.)

Ahem. So, Neil Diamond (66 today), eh? Diamond has played a style of bomabastic Vegas rock for years, withstanding the fickle fashions of popular music by dint of the fact that his fans are mostly nice old ladies who stay blissfully ignorant of the fickle fashions of popular music, and more power to 'em. What is his signature tune?
