Neil Sedaka
A friend and I attended a Neil Sedaka concert this past Sunday night. Man, I had forgotten how many hits he either wrote and/or performed himself. Two of my fav Connie Francis tunes [Stupid Cupid and Where the Boys Are] were penned by Sedaka. Naturally, my all time fav is "Oh, Carol".
He began as a classic pianist but by ~ age 16 was colloborating on hit songs. His catalog of music would be a good American Idol show given the varierty and range.
I enjoyed the concert but I felt the years creeping upon me, and given how gingerly Neil moved about the stage, he's feeling a bit on the older side himself. But he still has a great smile.
Here's the link to his official site for tour schedule and bio:

Toni, I bet you can sing along with Neil. And funny, my friend and I were talking about wanting to see a Neil Diamond concert. I was big fan in my early 20's and attended 3 performances. But it has been years, and I would love to sing "Sweet Caroline" again.

Lucky you, Carol! My favorites are "Calendar Girl" and "Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen", although I like them all. Somewhere, amidst the wreckage of my office, is his greatest hits album/CD.
Hey, I can "Wo-wo-wo" with the best of them.
