  • ♫♫♪♫♪ GREAT VIDEO ♪♫♪♫♪

    Neil Sedaka is a musical genius.

    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.

  • I signed Neil's RnRHoF petition last year and he really does deserve induction. He has already received a much more prestigious honor of being recognized in the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. What a great prolific talent Neil Sedaka is! Absolutely one of America's fabulous music treasures!
