Rainbow is a compilation album of covers recorded by Neil Diamond from 1969 to 1971. These songs were composed by some of the best-known singer-songwriters of the time.

The cover for Rainbow was originally an illustration by Craig Nelson,[2] but was later replaced with photography by Tom Bert.[3] This same photograph would later be re-used for the cover of Play Me: The Complete Uni Studio Recordings...Plus!
