Touching You, Touching Me is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Neil Diamond. It was the first one since 1966 to feature renditions of other people's material as well as his own. It included a major hit that had already charted, " Holly Holy" (#6), and a minor one, " Until It's Time for You to Go" (#53). The album itself reached #30 on the Billboard album chart and was certified gold. Lee Holdridge was the arranger and conductor.
Despite its title coming from lyrics for the hit song " Sweet Caroline", that track was not included on the US version as it was already on the previous Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show album. On the UK edition, " Sweet Caroline" was included as the last track on Side A.
