All of you are stupid. If any of you were black, or even alive then, you would know. A diamond in the back refers to a diamond shape in the "Landau" custom top in the back of the Caddilac. This was widely popular. The song was by William Devaughn, Curtis Mayfield would have never done a song like this. No remix exists.

Look, "diamond in the back" refers to the vintage 1970-1980 Cadillac series. The rear windows had a diamond shape... (I wanna...) Diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene with a gangsta lean. And the song was written and originally performed by William Devaugh but was called "Be Thankful for What You Got." I wish I would have found this website in 2004 to shut all of you up.
