"Truth be told, I'm always raving about Godfrey Diamond. Besides his amazing ear, professional skills, technical knowledge,
visionary power and invaluable experience, his working method is thorough and meticulous and the passionate energy he infuses into his
projects is positively inspiring. His dedication to the creative process will always go the extra mile...with plenty of laughs to share
along the way. Don't get me wrong, Godfrey has a tough-love approach that will work you hard and challenge you to produce your best, but
he gets things done and it's all worth it in the end. Trust me, and you'll soon be a believer, too.!" -

Lou Reed / Coney Island Baby - "It was a propitious meeting. Diamond was a consummate producer and possessed of the sort of non-judgemental
seriousness calculated to appeal to Lou's perfectionism. . . The combination of the two qualities allowed Diamond to give Reed the best
production he has ever had in the studio. Diamond was aiming to re-establish Reed's commercial credibility without sacrificing his
artistic integrity. Even today, 'Coney Island Baby' sounds unflawed, perfect in its balance of harmonies, and it remains for me the
finest solo album that Lou Reed has put out in his long career. " - Waitin' For My Man, Jeremy Reed
