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.

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
