NO COVER ART
AVAILABLE
NEIL SEDAKA "greatest hits" 1977.#143US #61AUST: vinyl borrowed from my parents collection.
Neil is one of those artists who didnt recieve the chart success he deserved of a man of his talent,yet, everybody seems to know his songs and can sing along to the majority of them. and many people dont realise the hits he wrote for other people,similar to Willie Nelson in that respect.
a writer of beauty,happiness and positive outlook, is what Neil is.
this is a 1970s best of set and it does include two US #1 hits,strangely enough,Sedaka never scored a #1 hit in the UK or AUST either on the singles or album charts,yet performs sellout shows in both those countries???
he is a master of writing three minute pop songs and few are in his league as a writer.
I LIKE NEIL SEDAKA, AND THIS ALBUM
