Neil Sedaka (Brooklyn, New York, 13 de março de 1939) é um cantor, pianista e compositor americano geralmente associado com o Brill Building. Ele fez parceria com Howard Greenfield para compor muitos de seus sucessos, tanto para si como para outros cantores. A voz de Sedaka é identificada com a de tenor. O maior sucesso de Neil é a canção "Oh Carol" de 1959. Além de "Oh Carol", outras canções de Neil Sedaka fizeram sucesso entre o final da década de 1950 e início dos anos 1960. "The Diary" (provavelmente de 1958) fez parte da trilha sonora da novela Esplendor, da Rede Globo. As músicas "Breakin' Up Is Hard To Do" e "Calendar Girl", esta última de 1961 e a primeira de 1962, além de "Laughter in the Rain" são outros sucessos do cantor. Curiosidade: quando o grupo sueco ABBA estava no início de carreira, Neil Sedaka ajudou a fazer a versão em inglês de uma das primeiras canções do grupo nessa língua. A canção é Ring Ring , incluida no álbum de mesmo nome, em 1973.

The Hungry Years is an album by Neil Sedaka, the title of which is an eponymous track from the album. It was released by The Rocket Record Company in 1975.

The album is the American edition of Overnight Success, with two songs being replaced.

"Bad Blood," a duet with Elton John, hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, was certified gold, and was the most commercially successful single of his career; his followup, a slowed-down, bluesy remake of his 1962 #1 smash "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," hit #8 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart over December 1975-January 1976. "The Queen of 1964," from his British-released Overnight Success album, reached #35 in the UK in March 1975.

::Intro: Fade in::

down dooby doo down down, comma comma

down dooby doo down down

breaking up is hard to do

Don't take your love away from me

Don't you leave my heart in misery

If you go then I'll be blue

'Cause breaking up is hard to do

Remember when you held me tight

And you kissed me all through the night

Think of all that we've been through

And breaking up is hard to do

They say that breaking up is hard to do

Now I know I know that it's true

Don't say that this is the end

Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again

I beg of you

Don't say goodbye

Can't we give our love another try?

Come on baby, let's start anew

Cause breaking up is hard to do

They say that breaking up is hard to do

Now I know I know that it's true

Don't say that this is the end

Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again

I beg of you

Don't say goodbye

Can't we give our love another try?

Come on baby, let's start anew

Cause breaking up is hard to do
