Neil Sedaka Should've Never Let You Go (with Dara Sedaka)

[tom100tom2]

two gifted singers! Nice song.

[wendelld808]

Beautiful song...feel the love between the two.

[Drbonez100]

she aint all dat

[getoutofmyway01]

@Drbonez100 lol

[MultiPalp]

Wow! She sings!!

[GuruGuru3]

It is unfortunate that singers as good as Dara Sedaka never be more than "The daughter of Neil Sedaka."

She has an amazing voice, quite different from his father in style and color.

For me: better.

[DaveWollenberg]

What'd Dara do with her life, after she stopped singin'? Anybody know? Neil and Dara hit #19 in Billboard, 6-28-80. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Shalom, Neil and Dara!

[jimmy72541]

Very nice indeed. Lovely daughter.....They sound nice in duet.

[jimmy72541]

Lovely video, His daughter is a beautiful lass.

[bnegs521]

She reminds me of karen carpenter a bit.

[DepalmaJay]

Neil Sedaka, one of the most beautiful female voices of all time.

[shmuli9]

I've always liked this record - and I've heard Neil's voice before, but I've never heard him drop his "A's" in the "Brooklyn" way... ("she 's my dottah")

[Moyodsreds]

Beautiful song !! Had the 45 !! For such a big hit in 1980 ... It's ignored by radio !

[freeble123]

well done ;)



[Vintageart1994]

They sing great together!

[mace0621]

Agree Mr Neil for what you said Dara is really pretty and you both looks like a brother and sister=)

[ottowes]

Very nice! Like father, like daughter!

[hibbitabo]

old scool but still great

[KokoPuffs52]

I love the comments that say this girl should "get into the music" business - this clip is 30 years old! She's well into her 40s by now. I guess she didn't pursue a career in singing, or it didn't work out.

[LarryStaples]

WOW, this girl has an absolutely beaufiful voice, 'for my taste', AND she's just drop dead georgous.

[juan58102]

She is talented.. I am doing music in Fargo.. But Dara should get into the music 100%. .. Thanks for the posting!!!

[gemunuwira]

She is as talented as his famous father. The song I like most is Oh Carol. This was one of my favourite teen age songs. I still love it as ever.

[LaReginaPatrizia]

One of my all-time favorites! I wish I could buy it.

[3rdof13]

Great song-one of my favorites!

[pakantotmiss]

She is soooo pretty!

[kanesgirl623]

Eeek...sorry, no.

[detinha46]

Que lindo dueto cantado por Neil Sedaka e Dara Sedaka, é perfeito, é angelical!

[123Rockchild]

I LOVE, LOVE this duet!

If I was a recording artist, I would find someone to sing this with.

It's just lovely!

[yankees545454]

This is for someone I loved very much....Julie, I should have never let you go!

[thebigoneMB]

One of my most favorite songs and I even saw this on TV when it appeared years ago.

Wonderful ! I've never heard his daughter sing before , she has a beautiful voice . I have always loved Neil's music & together it is a perfect partnership . Lovely !

[rhymeandreasoning]

i remember buying this single as a kid at Sam The Record Man...still a great song

[JLSan1000]

Dara is a angel.

[honker785]

A beautiful song, the voices blend perfectly. i should have never let you go Margaret, twenty-eight years on I still love you profoundly! Honker 785

[nellie2581]

Great!

[coloradomike303]

beautiful song!!

his daughters normal voice sounds like she's singing she has one of those voice's we're its beautiful without her even trying!!

[Ambrosio144]

This is a GREAT SONG ! Probably the best hw has ever recorded, his daughter is a natural.

[Tonithenightowl]

They sound beautiful together which happens in families. Gene pool lol.

[eaglesgeorge8]

He is GREAT,,,& she's a good singet as well!

[laricaclark1969]

Brings back memories.

[Tbflirtin]

I have always loved this song with Neil and Dara. Ah

[irishpogi]

I wonder what's become of Dara? I would imagine she's in her mid to late 40's now.

[ChicReal]

This is a very touching song, I remember singing this as a teenager when my parents would play it from their Neil Sedaka album. It brings back very happy memories for me, and I adore this song because of this. Thanks for posting the video.

[nowbellhere]

Sort of peculiar that a father and daughter are singing this song to each other. She had a wonderful pure voice, just beautiful. What a nice duet.

[DaveWollenberg]

hit #3 AC, #19 pop in Billboard. Is Dara still in the music business? God bless!

[WadeElvisMan]

AWESOME!

WadeElvisMan

[DA90027]

She sure was pretty and could sing too. She should have been a huge star instead of flashes in the pan like Paula Abdul and others who couldn't sing.

[OscarMoeRuffus]

Awesome!

[SingingSaintBernard]

Check-out "Huggin'" by Dara Sedaka from her solo album.

[SingingSaintBernard]

Dara and Neil Sedake also worked as a team to compose the song 'A Miracle of Christmas' which is featured on the 2008 double-CD set titled "The Miracle of Christmas."

[SingingSaintBernard]

I just checked. "Now" contains a song titled "Losing You" which was written by both Dara and Neil Sedaka together.

[SingingSaintBernard]

Two great performers, beautiful young lady, and a sad song. Is there a better combinatton?

[mercado123456]

should say "song" and not "son" IN THE FIRS LINE OF MY COMMENT ... the plus on video finally ... I GET IT !!!! ... the way she search his eyes ... SO TEEEENDER !!!! ...

mexican ben

[mercado123456]

i listened 2 this son about 20 years ago ... almost go mad cos i was lookin under "olivia newton johns" and neil s. !!!!

wish 2 know more about dana ... excelent singer .. soprano i should say ... BEAUTIFUL color of voice ... the feeling ...

great !!!

mexican ben

[GreatestSingerEver01]

Such a beautiful song! What did Dara do after this? I don't recall ever hearing anything. Just wondering?

[SingingSaintBernard]

@GreatestSingerEver01 She cut her own album in Japan. Now she sings advertising jingles for radio broadcasts.

[ssusan27]

She is pretty and talented.

[berowra7]

she sings better than neil

[seadawgie]

I use to listen to this song in Okinawa and it brings tears to my eyes. Got my own youngins and now they are the love of my life. There were better fish in the sea;)

[DaveWollenberg]

Did Dara turn out to be an alto or soprano? Just wonderin'

[NeillandBrittany]

I fell in love with this song and was sure she'd be a big star...and then nothing.

[5downer]

Great song, haven't heard it in decades.

[humatak07]

Neil has got to be one proud papa ! Such beautiful voices and so inspiring. Wish we could hear more of this kind of family togetherness today. Agree with dwtslvr, that would be awesome..

[dwtslvr]

Their voices just compliment each other. The same way Paul Anka and his daughter Anetha do when they sing "Do I Love You". It would be nice if Both Neil and Paul and their daughters collaborated on a song.

[SingingSaintBernard]

@dwtslvr Neil and Dara have collaborated on songwriting. Check out the album called 'Now' from around 1981.

[davidmachwano101]

this is a pretty song

[Kazuhiko84]

I agree with Dara Sedaka's father... her daughter was so beautiful and has a natural voice, wow!!!

Thank you for the video.

[nellie2581]

@Kazuhiko84  Yes, it's unnecessary to have 7 dislikes. When it's agreat song and Dara has a great voice!

[EdClaude1]

I am very grateful for this Youtube, for the chatty part and for the opportunity to see Dara both at home and in the concert performance, and for the opportunity to see the charming father-daughter chemistry. Still-in-all, the flawless and complete studio version of the song is much better. Downloadable at Amazon for 99 cents.

[rubbing2001]

For those that think Neil is gay, you've got to be kidding, no man that is gay has ever helped create such a beautiful woman as Dara, and you can tell her dad has influenced her her whole life, not just responsible for her being born. Love you both Neil and Dara

[gibbdreamer]

@rubbing2001 And Niel is still married to Dara s mother, his ONLY wife of 48 years. So, Dara didnt have to split her time betwen parents she got love and attention from both. She is beatiful and father and daughter are awesome together

[boots265]

beautiful song i was in highschool when that came out

[guardem114]

beautiful! wish the whole song was on here.

[ragtopman242]

Dara Sedaka has the tonal clarity and color presence that is so reminiscent of Lulu, who sings To Sir with Love.

[tootybootydesigns]

incredibly accurate observation!!

[rockaladies]

Sweet.

[MsFran18]

aww nice tune..xx

[BlueAngel0751]

Thanks for the memories......

[RockLives4u]

It is nice that Neil and his wife could look back and share this performance with their daughter and grand children.

.Nice and special in this tumultuous world that we live in..

[nealbrice]

I have the 45 rpm still today.....kept it all these years. Love the voice>

[Baldgol4]

Just beautiful. She has her fathers talent and good looks. Who is Neil Sadaka married to??

[kirbyco1221]

Thank you for posting -i still have the single. She is beautiful. Any idea what she is doing today? Her voice is great.

[kperk014]

Oh man! You cut off that great finish!

[Snookiephoenix]

..........................

[eineeuqe]

where's the video of neil performing "you're so good for me" with dara on stage?

[VealParmigiana]

Neil's daughter is not a bad singer. I would rate her perhaps on a par with, for example, Debby Boone.

[viewdemonde]

I remember a great song from thge album "In The Pocket, a duet with Dara, called "You're So Good For Me." It's so hard to find! I someone able to post it, please? And....what ever happened to Dara? She obviously has talent........

[duhwolf]

search youtube for this :

Neil Sedaka & Dara Sedaka -You're so good for me

[viewdemonde]

Did you post it?? If you did, thank you so much. It's such a great track. I love Neil Sedaka and used to sing along to many of his tracks. I think I learned to sing listening to Neil Sedaka, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Billy Joel. Strange, because I'm female!! But I also love Linda Ronstadt and Barbra, too. I think this song should be resurrected and recorded by someone. Thanks to Neil Sedaka for some great songs.

[windandmotocross]

very sweet sweet song!!

[ESPpsychic]

my mom sings this ......i love the way she sings it ....but neil is impecible and his daughter.

[rhymeandreasoning]

i had this on 45rpm when i was a kid..a really nice song..always loved it

[123Rockchild]

This is a great duet.

Beautiful song by Neil.

I love it!

[EdClaude1]

Dara dressed as a young bride -- brilliant costuming for this great performance. She is an absolutely iconic image of a lovely young woman, just come of age. (Unlike this wonderful live performance, the ITunes version is flawless in the singing and the reproduction.)

[maveric1337]

I'd still do her

[ajdicks]

what happened to all the chicks like her?

[cougar1233]

His daughter is a pretty girl.

[libhater1]

you can hear his voice in his daughters voice...he passed his talent to her

[rvcrvc2]

Neil was a much greater technical artist than he was given credit for. The harmony here is just impecible

[psychic757]

i love this song

[uweresoblind]

thanks thanks

[duhwolf]

awesum duo . I love it . thanx 4 posting

[SIGNALSTAT]

dara was a hot looking chick back in 77.love this song.

[Shooshy17]

This is SO sweet!

[ilsy74]

Love this. I have the perfect video response. Sorry about the quality but it is way beautiful. Hope you accept X

[RockLives4u]

Nice find and thanks for posting it..

[Henrytheape]

His daughter has such a beautiful voice!

[METH3454]

SHE IS SO GODAMM BEAUTIFUL !

[mlhardin]

God's last name ain't damn.

[thebigern2006]

This was the song that Mimi & Jojo Qiana sang together which helped them win the 1982 Hello Lariat Karaoke Championship down in Abilene, TX

[je5301]

neil youre my idol....

[wylloughbye]

Man, I remember this performance....There was a one hour Neil Sedaka Variety Show where he was introducing all these new singers, and had guests like Andy Gibb singing Bad Blood with him, and The Captain And Tenille. Somwhere we still have the VHS tape of this. I was like 5 when it was on...

[windandmotocross]

beautiful song!!

somebody has full version?

[rayva1]

Actually have a Rhapsody account that allows me to listen to up to 25 full songs as a free subscriber. This song is actually in Neil Sedaka's album...Couldn't remember which one.

[windandmotocross]

Thanks so much for giving me your answer.

[RockLives4u]

Neil from one dad to another and daughters the same age..Very, Very special and nice..Congrats..Timeless

[tuberousness]

Oh yeah! Lots of talent and beauty and Neil is a true Great.

[zenabel]

S U P E R  !!!!!!

[pgamba]

God bless you and your voices!

Regards

[Billyxstar]

What a wonderful song.....

[tiasil2002]

Wonderful!!!!! Must be great to be able to sign with your father.... Thanks for sharing it.

[rvcrvc2]

I always felt his vocal performance got kind of buried, or dismissed, in the warm fuzzy feeling that their duet inspired. Great as that dual effort was.

[Dee530]

What a wonderful Blessing, a Beautiful and

very talented Father and Beautiful Daughter,

a Gorgeous Duet, I must say-- I miss my Dad.

thanks for Posting. Neil and Dara blend

clearly their beautiful Voices.

G-d Bless, Best Wishes to all. What a feel

good song, and there is soo much talent in

that Family.

Peace, Marcie B.

[reddfox16]

wow, they can rele sing

[DA90027]

She was so pretty and classy looking for being so young here.

[inflatableclown6]

How dear!! Sure do remember this wonderful song.  Their voices match so beautiful. Neil is such a sweety-pie, and what a doll of a talented daughter he has. Blessings to them both!!!

[welcharge]

I heard this song when I was a child and it brings back such a beautiful memory. Music never sounded so pure.

[KimluvsCesar]

I absolutely love this song. Their voices together are so beautiful. I can't find this duet anywhere else on the internet. It brings back wonderful memories. Thank you very much for posting it for us to enjoy.

[tinagetmetheaxe]

Just go to itunes and type in Dara Sedaka. I just bought it. It's fabulous.

[spongeworthyvideo]

Thanks for uploading this.  I forgot about this song...brings back memories. Beautiful!

[jordan04n]

*****+ super duet do perfectly matched.....thanks

[4beatlefans]

Super... there's little to match singing with your own daughter. Believe me.

[bufb]

wonderful song

[GypsyReStudios]

I THINK IAM CRYING LOL

[babybear62]

nice song I like it. stop the interruptions and it would be so much better.

[TopJimmyWinn]

Damn! I thought "Endless Love" was killer, until I heard this! Amazing! 5 Stars baby!

[LiteraryJet]

GREAT !

[paulsheesley]

this is one of my favorite songs! except i cant stand the interruptions. i would love to have it complete in my favorites!

HELP! out there

[nolarae1929]

nolarae SO neat to hear him and his daughter

sing together.Beautiful voices. Wasn't he a

host coach on Amn Idol this year 2008?

[silvermetallic]

What a wonderful FORGOTTEN son! You have to admit the 1979/1980/1981 had some of the best songs! Suprised there were no remakes of this.

[4beatlefans]

So very true!

Terry Wogan used to play it on his breakfast show (BBC Radio 2) at that time, and it's great to hear it again. Thanks for posting it.

[mowm88]

I surprised. Haven't heard this since '80.

[Rusty3659]

Later on, Neil Sedaka recut this song a solo. I prefer this version.

[ryancat32145]

awesome song,I remember it well.

[carolmary43]

Beautiful.too bad it was cut short.

[Saskiaaaaaa]

for the whole song, you can download it on limewire of somthing.

[METH3454]

She's so hot !! what about now ?

[sparwood8]

Awesome. She IS beautiful, too

[sparwood8]

Sweet voice. she sounds a bi tlike Debbie Boone, only warmer (If that is possible)

[meowthno1]

Does anyone have this song or a video of it without the interview? Would really appreciate!

[tikmol]

This one's from May 2008 philstar interview, "Dara, who is not married, sings for radio and television commercials. I had a hit record with her in the '80s. It was very rare because there have only been three father-and-daughter hit records — Frank and Nancy Sinatra, Nat and Natalie Cole, and my daughter and I."

[Creativ1]

This song is really beautiful..it actually has more meaning to me these days as I have reconnected with an old High School sweetheart after decades apart! So, the words of the song really touch me more now (and I'm sure him too :)

[faronfan]

A very successful father/daughter act was "The Kendalls"..Royce and dgt Jeannie. Thay recorded over 30 albums, had 4 #1s. The ones mentioned above had, what, one song together! I guess Neil doesn't listen to country! LOL

[tikmol]

I guess i don't listen to country as well. LOL

[marieh7i]

Is Dara never been married? I love her duet with her dad.

[ilovepepe2]

Neil Sedaka is wonderful and this is a lovely song...he and Dara sound great together

[snics456]

Anyone know what year she was born?

This was off his "in the pocket" record.

I finally had to get it on a greatest hits package.....

[rayva1]

When this song was released it was in 1980, Dara at the time was only 16. I estimate her year of birth was 1964 (I'm only guessing). Today, she'd be about 44. She actually makes her living as a screenwriter.

[snics456]

thanks, I cant seem to find much bio stuff of her on the web......

[rayva1]

It is very difficult to find, I was able to locate a website regarding Neil Sedaka's background of this recorded hit. It only indicated the year this hit was released with his daughter and how old his daughter was at the time of its release.

[marieh7i]

They fathr and daughter together sings pretty good. I don't get tired lestining to them together.

[rayva1]

She sounds so New Yorker in this duet. I'm more impressed with her 'Angel Queen' hit.

[deadwoodmountain]

"when he played the sowng in our apaht-ment.."....I hear ya...LOL!!!!

[CALGAL2HULAGAL]

Marvelous duo.. Would be nice to see more of this type of entertainment, Thank you for sharing,

[winningsmile222]

absolutely beautiful duo.. Wow! what talent... their voices are in perfect sync..

[alanbweaver]

I saw them perform this song about 25 years ago! I wonder what Dara is up to now. She had such talent. Neil still performs.

[yullian20]

I hear she was a hit in Japan

[Saskiaaaaaa]

Yes indeed she was a hit in Japan. She sang a number with Kitaro (also Japanese) "Angel Queen"is the name of the number were she sing.. Listen & Enjoy

[yullian20]

I would love to hear it!!

[Saskiaaaaaa]

Angel Queen - Queen Millenia - By Dara Sedaka

If you link this to"search"than you have the song with her

[yullian20]

I just listened to it! Wonderful song! She really had a lovely voice!!

[DeutschlandElvis]

Yes she sings beautifully but I never heard a hitfrom her !

[rvcrvc2]

This was, at least, a small hit but I wonder, too, especially after seeing her here, why nothing else evolved

[MiassisDragon]

sorry djtommytune but englishman Cliff Richard had " top 10" hits in 50's, 60' 70's and 80's, and possibly 90's but I havent looked him up recently. 1st hit was "move it" in 1958 and has been consist since then with his biggest hit being "We Dont Talk Anymore" .

[Achpamsin]

She has an incredible voice!

[goldengirl67]

Both so very talented and when they sing together it is so complimentary.

[skipper8257]

One of my favorites, someone post the whole song.

[captianron01]

It doesen't get any better than this ,he has to be proud of her she is beautiful and can sing great.

[djtommytune]

when this charted in 1980. Neil and Paul Anka were the only artists to have a top 40 song in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and the 80's. And then Elvis accomplished the feat with a re-release of "Guitar Man" remixed in 1981. Classic. The Tuneman
