Five Best: Neil Sedaka

The man with two careers--he was one of the hottest stars of the early 1960's with six Top 10 hits in three years.  But his success took a tumble when the Beatles changed music forever.  So in 1974, with the help of Elton John's label Rocket Records, Neil Sedaka reinvented himself, scoring a #1 smash with "Laughter in the Rain".  It had been more than eight years since he had had any kind of hit, and 12 years since he had a Top 10.  But Neil continued charting through 1980.  Here are the Five Best* (with a few extras):


1.  Bad Blood (with Elton John)




2.  Laughter in the Rain




3.  Breaking Up Is Hard To Do (1962)




4.  The Immigrant




5.  Breaking Up Is Hard To Do (1976)




Calendar Girl




Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen




Next Door To An Angel


That's When The Music Takes Me
