The Jazz Singer is an album by American singer-songwriter Neil Diamond, which served as the soundtrack album to the 1980 film The Jazz Singer. The soundtrack was released in November 1980 on Capitol Records, instead of Diamond's then-usual Columbia Records, because the film was produced by EMI Films, owned by the parent company of the label for which the soundtrack was released. The soundtrack was re-released in February 1996 on Columbia Records in the United States and Sony elsewhere. After Diamond signed with Capitol Records, this album was reissued by Capitol globally in 2014.
