[ambersalcove]

I own an Audio Cassette tape of Neil Sedaka and I've listened to this song endlessly over and over again ever since I first bought the tape at a local thrift store I love Neil Sedaka!

The doo wop force is strong in this man.......

[Dylantricky1]

Legit.

[TheDellanator]

What a sexy beautiful voice, just makes me want to kiss him, when he was younger of course.

[johnparkimp3]

My favourite Neil Sedaka song. Strolling down memory lane again.

[HarrisonRules95]

i'm living right next door to an angel... really xD

[Appleholic1]

Neil Sedaka most certainly belongs in the Rock n Roll hall of fame. If you agree then pass it on.

[shorty1ification]

@Appleholic1 I DO agree with you! I don't know why in the world this man is not in the Hall Of Fame yet!! that is just insane to me!

[oldcomputers69]

class!!! thats all i can say :)

[chloeisawesomeful]

im 12 years old. i heard this playing on my local TV station. i only knew the lyrics, but yay for youtube you just type them on the search and yayyyy you find the song you are looking for! i love this song, and lots of old music. and ya ya ya i know i have to be 14 to be on youtube. pshhhhh.

[mkl62]

A Top 5 hit for Neil Sedaka in November 1962.

[redsoxfan7855]

who cares.. its still really good! how many solo acts (at that time) were recording track/over track for that kind of melody?? Sedaka started that and was so really good at it!!

[Tanglewoodranger1]

Has anyone else noticed that this song is very similar to 'Breaking Up Is Hard to Do'? Apart from a few little tweeks,the music is practically the same. Love the lyrics. But honestly, Mr.Sedaka, we all know how brilliant you are, you don't need to repeat yourself.

[dbookin]

@Tanglewoodranger1 I noticed that myself. Most artist music sound similar. But his is all good

[beachguitar123]

Neil Sedaka had such a strange style but it grows on you. I started listening to him by playing my parent's 45's back in the early 80's when I was a kid. Don't know why but his songs always appealed to me.

[0917gva]

I love this from a long, long time ago. Sounds just as great! Thank you for this post.

[rolex452]

Let's also remember the work of the great lyricist Howard Greenfield, who collaborated with Sedaka on most of his hits. Check out the other songs he wrote the lyrics for on the Wikipedia.

[BMWrocksalltheway]

Give us back the old days! Gosh, I wished such great music is still being created today! The days when singers had a genuine voice, not some autotune modification!!!

[abastin1]

My first 33 1/3 was "King of clowns" and then all other Neil's singles. Love it, thanks for posting him

[CapnDangerbeard]

I don't know if it's my headphones or what, but this song's beat hits harder than any other song I've listened to on Youtube.

[WALTERKVANDERVEER]

GREAT OLD SONG. LOTS OF OLD MEMORIES. GREAT OLD DANCE SONG. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.

[24611395]

KEMEKO!

[156ricci]

WENDY SLIWECKI YOU WERE AN ANGLE

[TJCATLOVER]

Catchy!!!!!!

[Skylikeday]

If everyone listened to Neil Sedaka, there would be no wars.

[Bacillus4]

Wow...124 likes and 0 dislikes...I guess people aren't pressing the dislike button by mistake like in other videos...

[OldiesMusicKathy]

Great song! One of his best!! Thanks for sharing, John!! Kathy

[michellesupport89]

Such a great melody and the lyrics are golden. Neil is such a legend.

[TheEarl666]

sarah michelle gellar is the most beautiful angel

[djstevester5]

very good indeed x

[clmcj5]

waw, i thot i was the only oldie

[cmulwee001]

This could easily be called "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" Part Deux as it's virtually the same song. Great stuff, no matter what!

[melissapurplebaby1]

i like this song thanks :)

[99tosign99]

This really epitomises that lovely 50's/early 60's sound which will never die.

Most of the songs from the following four decades cannot compare with the timeless sound from this period. 

[MissLizaMay]

I love, love, love this man! Whenever we hear him my mom and I drop everything and start dancing!

[93Anitka]

My sister and I had the 45..I forget the flip side..was it Calendar Girl?

[6891man]

@issurchaim Nope; it was "I Belong To You" from 1959.

[gva0917]

I remember this song well; I was about 12 or so. I had not heard it in quite a while, so I wanted to thank you for this song. This one really takes me back in time. Thanks for the memories! :)

[koczi989898]

[Kittielips]

My angel lives so far away.

I love this song.

Thanks for posting.

[Melchersson]

@KKL281I havent found my angel jet! But all you people who likes "doo-woop" check out the cover band from Sweden called the Boppers!

[crackerjacks46]

Superb post! Thank you! Can't find mine and now can hear it again! 5 +*S Sharon

[newhotman1001]

And the hits just keep on coming. Neil Sedaka pumped out a bunch of them in the early 60s. How could you ever say one was better than another?

[Banderuola66]

I love it ! I love it ! Thank you so much for sharing it.
