Great talent, my favourite Oh Carol

ummmm

I haven't listened to much of his music. Oh Carol is probably the only one I really know.

I've heard it said that Oh Carol was written about Carol King.

Bigbad

Yes, Chipchopper. They dated for a while.
"Oh Neil" was written in response to "Oh, Carol".

For some reason I love this song.

have seen him live several times..what a talent !! not much of a performer, but to sit for a few hours listening to him play piano and sing his eclectic collection was sublime...

'Laughter in the Rain' was played a few moments ago on R2!

I saw Neil Sedaka at the Royal Albert Hall a few years ago. Absolutely brilliant! An extraordinarily talented man and a superb performer. Age certainly does not weary him!

Apparently mornings find his grandchildren treated to renditions of “Waking up is hard to do”. Lucky kids!

Naomi,yes lucky!

A good performer eh? I hope he doesn't sing 'Oh Carol' at the crucial moment with wife Leba! ;-)

Very talented man. In his early days he was an excellent classical musician, and at the age of 8 he won a piano scholarship to the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York. He was one of the resident composers in the famous Brill Building when he was only thirteen.
