So much so, look at who's done their own versions of these Dave tunes:
Easy Street - Dan Hartman went back in time at least ten years to pay his repects there.
Same with Coconut Grove.
California Girls? Brian Wilson was so blown away by what Dave created there, that he built his own DeLorean, created his own Flux Capacitor, found some plutonium, and took it back in time to 1962, and created a whole band around the image that Dave projected on those lyrics.
As for Just a Gigolo, where would Al Jolson be without Dave? Dave made Jolson's career if you ask me.
I have to disagree with you AP. Even though Crazy From The Heat was pretty good, I think his writing has really expanded on Diamond Dave. Take Ice Cream Man, for example. It was so good that Dave earlier recruited the Van Halen, who up until then, or after, as you perfer were just a cheesy band fronted by some Ronald McDonald parody, to make a simpler, more rock and straightforward version of the song. Couldn't beat the original if you ask me.
Then there's Bad Habits, I don't think Dave ever wrote something as good as he did in that song.
And where would Savoy Brown be without 'You Got The Blues, Not Me...' and 'Made Up My Mind'?
Plus, do you think Hendrix would ever make it to Woodstock if Dave hadn't recorded 'If 6 was 9' or that the Beatles would actually ever had been something if not for 'Tomorrow Never Knows' by the Diamond Davester?
I'm not even going to mention 'Soul Kitchen'. And yes, I COULD go on and on.
