Neil Sedaka

American singer and composer (Born, March 13, 1939, Brooklyn, NY). Daughter, [a=Dara Sedaka]

Neil Sedaka, in a recent 2010 interview stated that it was the arrival of the British Invasion, most notably [a=Beatles, The] who halted his singing career, in the early 60's.

Collaborating with songwriting partners, [a=Howard Greenfield] and [a=Phil Cody], he penned numerous hits written for [a=Connie Francis], [a=Carpenters, The], [a=Captain And Tennille] among others. He credits [a=Elton John] for reviving his singing career in the mid-70's. John signed him to his new [l=Rocket Record Co.] label and sang on "Bad Blood". That first LP couldn't have had a more appropriate title, simply "Sedaka's Back". For combined credits Sedaka / Cody please use [a=Phil Cody-Neil Sedaka]
