I’m playing my new Neil Sedaka CD and it’s a brilliant live album, and not unlike the ace concert I saw recently on Sky Arts. Neil’s daughter appeared in the concert and she’s utterly gorgeous, with a delightful singing voice just like Dad. We couldn’t take in her height, but I wasn’t bothered because she had so, so many attributes.
When I was about 11, Neil recorded a funny version of ‘Oh Carol’, which Tony Blackburn used as one of his jingles.

I’ve just watched ‘Laughter In The Rain’ on YouTube. Neil is one of those many men who’s got better with age. 👌🏼😆🎶
I thought that when I saw his concert on Sky Arts recently.

Lovely guy - it’s hard to believe he’s 84 now. I recently saw a concert of his on Sky Arts and it was so uplifting. This morning I played ‘Breaking Up Is Hard To Do’ repeatedly while feeding the cats and foxes. Another of my favourites is ‘This Will Be Our Last Song Together’, a beautiful ballad dedicated to some chap he worked with.
Neil’s career began in 1957, when he was 18.
I’m giving him 5ft5 and lots of love and thanks for all the lovely songs I grew up with.

Looks like John Cleese just a foot smaller.

I’ve never come across Neil’s page before; it’s good to see that he’s got one. He looked rather compact on Top of the Pops, so I will go for 5ft5.5

In the Calender Girl Video, he's shorter than alot of the girls. i'm sure they are in heels.

Dang! Really. Never heard Sedaka being glommed together w/ other short singers! That's funny--he's Daltrey's size.
