neil sedaka is a big-nose cornball with some nauseating early 60s bubble gum pop hits. however I like his 70s hit "bad blood" which is the closest he came to anything you could call a kick-ass rock song. I guess "laughter in the rain" was acatchy tune. amazing how "laughter in the rain" took sedaka from a struggling has-been to a multi-millionaire. that one song made him a multi-milionaire.
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.
Wow, Sedaka still sounds the same!!

2 of the greatest Singer-Songwriters of all time...
Neil Sedaka is such a proud man (you should be for less...) - a very nice and happy man, and still a good singer, his voice is better than ever :
Hear how he goes into an improvisation of Neil Diamonds version of this song ( Diamond recorded it on his Brill Building Days-album )
THANKS for uploading this great video !!!
(and for including the link to both their petition for inducting them in the Rock Hall Of Fame !!! ♫♪♫♪
