His appearance is as good as his age but his singing and piano skills are still as good as before. Amazing. I knew the cd was out there but didn't get one. Looking at him singing like this made me want to get a copy of it. Thanks for posting. Go, Neil!
The Carpenters (Richard Carpenter) fired him, because the Carpenters were the stars, and it was their job to introduce the celebrities in the audience...and Neil Sedaka decided it was ok for him to do this. He was upstaging them. That was why he was fired. And Karen Carpenter was down to an emaciated 80 lbs. It was a stressful experience for all of them. The next year, on their A KIND OF HUSH album, they recorded BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO...
It is a travesty that Neil has NOT been named to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Some groups who have been around for less than 10 years have been inducted, but NOT Neil (or even Neil Diamond) Sedaka who's been in the business for almost 50 years!! Who does the voting????????
Totally agree. Other greats who should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are Connie Francis and Lesley Gore! Have been told by the RnR Hall of Fame that past accomplishments by the artists has NOTHING to do with consideration for nomination, it's totally up to the wim of the judges whether or not an artist is considered for the hall of fame.
That's too bad, stevemichaels2020, that some of the greats are overlooked just because a 'newer' act is more popular at this time. I saw Connie Francis 1 1/2 years ago at a concert to honor Neil at Lincoln Center in NYC-she was still great. Many notables from the 60's (and more recently) performed. Great concert. Neil's entire family attended, too!! Some of the performances from that night may be up on Youtube.
I agree the Rock Hall of Fame is wacky. Carole King who has one of the best albums of all time, and Neil Diamond who has so many great songs and albums.
A contribution such as Neil Sedaka's, spanning 50+ years of singing and songwriting (and spawning hits for so many artists!) should be recognized. Neil's writing clearly had an influence on the development and direction of pop/rock music over several decades.
he's the best !!
