"Black Diamond" is a song by the Bee Gees released on the album Odessa in 1969.
[2] This track was the first song recorded when the Bee Gees returned to England after initial sessions for the album in New York City, and was the first song not to feature lead guitarist Vince Melouney who had left after the New York sessions for the album.
The intro features a guitar part played by Maurice, and the orchestral arrangement by Bill Shepherd.
[4] The beginning of the song is similar but there are some vastly different lyrics in the verses.
[5] Robin Gibb would return to the same lyrical theme for the song Diamonds on his 1984 album Secret Agent.
