Neil Sedaka fans believe it's high time for Neil to get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.


As the prolific and versatile author of more than 1,000 songs, the accolades showered on Neil Sedaka have been numerous. Among the honours he has received, Sedaka has been inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, has had a street named after him in his hometown of Brooklyn, and was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With a career spanning six decades, a rare feat in the entertainment world, Sedaka never ceases to amaze.

* The history of Rock & Roll is simply unimaginable without Neil Sedaka's contributions. Neil is a Rock & Roll pioneer. In concerts, he talks about Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Carole King, Paul Simon and others, and how he's proud to be part of their history.

* You don't have to count Neil Sedaka's gold records worldwide to know what his name means in the world of Rock & Roll. His songs are so well-known and loved, it's hard to believe there was a time we didn't hear them.

"Since Rock and Roll exists, Rock and Roll artists have done more for the unification of mankind than the religion, political or the United Nations. "

(Neil Sedaka, 1963)

Really nice job here! I agree completely and will sign the petition! Thanks!

[bickybox]

I agree that Neil is a great singer and songwriter but wether he could be classed as a rock and roller is a different matter. Outside of 'I Go Ape' he didn't do any rock and roll that I recall. Now with Gerry Lee Lewis there is no doubt..a rock and roller though and though and he should be known as the King of Rock and Roll...not Elvis.

I'm on the list in the 12,000 range, but I got in there. I hope he gets inducted. He is deserving of it. After 50+ years, he deserves it!! TY so much for making and posting this video!
