NEIL SEDAKA "I go ape" vinyl, 1963.
oh yeah...
secret love?, guilty pleasure?...both I guess but MH knows im a huge fan of the dude.
pop writer turned performer like so many of them did.
has written something like 500 songs that have made the Billboard pop charts either by him
or other artists, has few peers as a hit maker other than probably Goffin/King, Lennon/McCartney and Albert Hammond
I guess.
should be revered more than he is, should be idolised by more than he is...
he is in the Rock And Roll Songwriters HoF, he should be in the good ole R+R Hof also.
81 years of age, has a couple of kids and has been married since 1962, no drugs or alcohol issues, just a genuine nice guy.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM of piano based pop.
