I have seen Neil in Vegas and he hasn't lost a beat. Who else could have a big hit with Breaking Up and turn around, slow it down and have another big hit, Neil that who.
Neil Sedaka should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. This man is a GIANT in the industry and this is long overdue. His songs are timeless classics that he has written and sang himself and they have also been performed by some of the greatest artists of our time!!! Neil Sedaka is without a doubt one of the pioneers of Rock & Roll!!

@SuperBird2009 I signed the Petition and glad to do so. It is sad a lot of GREATS are overlooked when they are the fathers of rock n roll. Niel is too awesome for words both then and NOW
Jann Wenner can only be embarrassed that NEIL SEDAKA and most of the Brill Building participants are not in the Hall of Fame while Madonna and Leonard Cohen already have been inducted... Of course, no one knows where Rolling Stone is, its address or if its building has any history. But Sedaka and co always have 1619 Broadway, sitting there in all its splendor between 49th and 50th Streets, a living landmark. It will be there long after the whole debacle of the Hall of Fame is a distant memory.
Breaking Up is Hard to Do surely is one of the greatest pop melodies ever written. A perfect song filled with so many profound notes and themes that it is a master class in composition, sung by a master.
My my my Neil Sedaka wonderful rendition it's heavenly. I feel I am in another planet it melts me away hah. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. God bless.

micheal buble is sort of a lower tone copycat of him. not hating on micheal buble but if neil's voice was lower he'd basically be him.

Sedaka was singing long before Buble was even born so it seems to me that Sedaka has more of an influence on Buble than Buble on Sedaka.

that exactly what i meant. did you not pick that up? although i said it in a harsher way calling him (buble) a copycat.
7831549 1 year ago
Oh I'm sorry for misreading you comments. I read you comment so quickly that I didn't see the word "copycat" inbetween then words "tone" and "of"
I apologize. My mistake.

"Amazing" is right. I had my first heartbreak when this came out in 75 and must've played it 100 times in a row. Yikes.

The slow version of "Breaking Up" is just amazing. It's a wonderful song both slow and fast, but the slow version kills me every time.

Unfortunately, it was a tv variety show in March 1984, so it's not available.
