Our Take

Neil Sedaka, the OG piano man himself, is back with yet another collection of his greatest hits on "NEIL SEDAKA Songbook." This album is a trip down memory lane for anyone who was lucky enough to be alive during the golden age of rock 'n' roll.

Sedaka's signature smooth voice still shines through on classics like "Calendar Girl" and "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," reminding us all why he was such a chart-topping powerhouse back in the day. But don't be fooled by his age, this man still knows how to bring the energy and keep the party going.

The arrangements on "NEIL SEDAKA Songbook" are as tight as ever, with Sedaka's piano skills taking center stage. The production may be a bit dated, but hey, that just adds to the charm, right? It's like taking a nostalgic trip back to simpler times when music was all about having a good time and shaking your hips.

Sure, some of the lyrics may be a bit cheesy by today's standards, but that's all part of the fun. Sedaka was never one to take himself too seriously, and that's what makes this album so enjoyable. So go ahead, grab a slice of pizza, put on your dancing shoes, and get ready to bop along to the sounds of "NEIL SEDAKA Songbook." Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Neil Sedaka

Neil Sedaka may not be the hippest name on the block, but his classic tunes have certainly stood the test of time. With over 60 years in the industry, Sedaka has proven himself to be a master of pop craftsmanship, writing hits that continue to be loved by audiences old and new. Born in Brooklyn in 1939, Sedaka started his music career at a young age, studying classical piano at the Juilliard School. While his early influences may have been Mozart and Chopin, it wasn't long before Sedaka's love for popular music led him down a different path. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Sedaka rose to fame as a singer-songwriter, churning out catchy hits like "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" and "Calendar Girl." His distinctive voice and catchy melodies quickly earned him a loyal fanbase and a string of chart-topping singles. Despite facing some ups and downs in his career, including a lull in the 1970s, Sedaka has always managed to bounce back with his infectious tunes and undeniable charm. His music has been covered by artists as diverse as The Carpenters, Elton John, and Sheryl Crow, proving that his songs truly have universal appeal. So, while Neil Sedaka may not be the most avant-garde artist out there, there's no denying his knack for writing timeless pop gems that have become ingrained in the musical fabric of our society. And hey, who doesn't love a good old-fashioned sing-along to a Neil Sedaka tune?
