you can see why Neil Sedaka has lasted so long and is still going strong, He appreciates his fans, his songs and never tires of presenting the hits! Well done young man!!!
I never appreciated Neil Sedaka until recently. Not only is he a top talent, he seems like an incredibly genuine person and is humble when he could just as easily be conceited. It's so refreshing to listen to him talk and be open with anyone that asks him a question. Laughter in the Rain was a guilty pleasure for me and until now never admitted that I loved that tune. It was simply one of the best songs ever written and performed.
A true STAR! Neil is an amazing performer. I never get tired to hear his sing and even sit down like this and just speak. I had to edit and add my thoughts. Neil is right where he wants to be in his life. He seems very happy and satisfied these days. I'm so happy for him.
always loved neil sedaka and his output of great pop songs! he really is very talented as a songwriter and singer. went to see him perform live in august (2016) and he was terrific and looked and sounded wonderful. its easy to understand why he has lasted in the music business for almost 60 years now. you can tell he really appreciates his fans and is grateful for all he has in his life. this was a an endearing and interesting interview.
Good interview to the Greates singer and composer Neil Sedaka. We all never Get tired of listening to Laughter in The rain and every song he wrote. Tks a Lot Neil.
I love the fact that Neil Sedaka was partially responsible for the success of ABBA later on ... How many people know that end it’s such an interesting trivia thing
Wow...this was a very interesting interview. I LOVED how Neil Sedaka was so open and generous with his answers. I think I learned a lot, while at the same time was entertained throughout the whole interview. Hey, I think SEDAKA IS REALLY BACK!
I'm an artist. I write songs. Many people say or think at least:"ah YOU claim to be an artist." Like you can't believe in or define yourself. Someone ELSE defines who you are. Not YOU or your Maker. Someone who gave up on themselves and decided to become a jerk Instead. But after i say what i do i always say: "I may very well be the worst artist on the planet. The worst artist whoever WALKED ON EARTH ! But i am one. True jerks can't even acknowledge that. I love listening to artists like Neil talk. I may suck but i know exactly what they're talking about. I'm not valedictorian or cum laude of the school or road to art but i did graduate. Thank you Lord for our brother Neil Sedaka. He's modest humble and great.
What is really cool: Sedaka is such a fine musician: he slowed down the "dom shooby doo dom dom.." and did BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO, like a ballad, lush strings, heart-achingly lovely. And it only goes to show ya, eh??
Neil Sedaka, his brain is so sharp, focused on every question at this age, decades into his career. I suspect he somehow avoided the drug, and heavy booze culture so easily seen in his industry. Just the fact of the long marriage, with kids and grandkids so much a part of his life speaks highly of his lifestyle.
He said he went from 30000 a year to 7 million a year after sedaka is back was released 2nd fame is better than 1st he said.thanks Neal for all your great music.
You always know yer gonna make it back - but as the years fade ye start to wonder. Re: the eleven lonely, hapless years Neil had to deal with - his touch seemingly gone - very scary in addition. .

Sedaka was one of thousands of great recording artists who were knocked off their perches by The Beatles.
Great interview @ Ernie Mahouse.

He made a lot of hits that were translated into Spanish but he never mentions how popular he was in the spanish speaking countries.
He said he went from 30000 a year to 7 million a year after sedaka is back was released 2nd fame is better than 1st he said.thanks Neal for all your great music.
He never left🎶MAGIC🎼God Bless Angel🙏💜🙏God bless America🎼X💜X
I like Neil!!!
10 big hits in a row, during 1958 to 1963...the meat and potatoes of rock/pop music and still he's not in the Rock Hall Of Fame!!!! Blasphemy!!!
Neil is in his own category award status performer!
Super q&a, Mr. Manouse!
Is there a story about his inspiration for the song You? I would love to know. It is one of the most heartfelt songs I have ever heard.
For what he's contributed to pop music he should paid a whole lot more than he's paid .hes an American icon.
i saw him in england in 1989 fine man

Re: the eleven lonely, hapless years Neil had to deal with - his touch seemingly gone -
very scary in addition.
.
awesome keep it up
He mentions Andy Williams covering his music, ahead of Elvis, Johnny Mathis, Abba, Peggy Lee, right down the line. Whoa. Got it backwards there, Neil.
Saving the best for last...plus he’d already mentioned about being signed to RCA by Steve Sholes who signed Elvis to the label...
A class act neil Sedaka
Can you please reply with the date of this interview? Thank you
1/2/89
the host here is as impressive as Neil Sedaka
Lol
I love you!
You have to not let people adore you and tell them to adore Jesus Christ. Your gift is of God and not of yourself.
