He sang as opening acts for artists such as Herman\u2019s Hermits and The Who.<\/p>\n<p>In 1967, Neil wrote &#8220;Red, Red Wine&#8221;. It was written as a country ballad, and didn\u2019t receive much fame on the billboards until in 1988 UB40 recorded the song and made it a hit, singing it in Reggae style. Also in 1967, Neil tried to leave Bang Records because he felt restricted. This led to lawsuits and a drop in his career. He eventually won the court case and got ownership of his Bang recordings.<\/p>\n<p>In 1968, he wrote &#8220;<span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Shilo<\/span>&#8221; and moved to MCA records.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Shilo<\/span>was on the billboards, even though not high. But it is still a favourite song for his fans. &#8220;Brooklyn Roads&#8221; was another song that was written more for Neil then for the audience.\u00a0 In 1969: he wrote Sweet Caroline which hit no. 4 on the billboard charts. The song starts with a calm beginning, but the whole song is a build up to its chorus.\u00a0 &#8220;Holly Holy&#8221; is another song with a long and exciting build up. It rose to no. 6 on the billboards.\u00a0 Also in 1969, he wrote &#8220;<span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Desiree<\/span>&#8220;, &#8220;September Morn&#8221;, and &#8220;Forever In Blue Jeans&#8221;.\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Desiree<\/span>is best known for its beat, it has great rhythm.
