Neil Diamond is a famous American songwriter that tried to create his own reggae sound. His song "Red Red Wine" features a heavy bass line and guitar style that is notorious for being a reggae sound. His song has been covered several times by numerous reggae acts (most famously the UB-40 cover version) and shows how reggae is not just a style of Jamaican music anymore; that American artists can create a reggae sound as well.
