He'll smile his way through anything! 😬😂 | Neil Sedaka - Oh! Carol [REACTION]

[@ednaanjal4364]

You rock girl & I 'm so glad & happy with your comme ts. I love all the songs that Neil wrote & sang & to date. I'm still his # 1 fan. I became a fan since 1962 & when I came to America, my first wish is to see him in person & it became a reality when I was pregnant at 8 months & saw him at the Desert Inn in Vegas. Thank you, dear lady, for your compliments while you listened to ' OH CAROL.

[@josephscally6270]

Interesting Trivia:"Carol" was a reference to Carol Klein, Sedaka's ex-girlfriend from high school and a fellow songwriter at the Brill Building. She had since married Gerry Goffin, who took the tune, and wrote the playful response "Oh! Neil", which she recorded and released as an unsuccessful single the same year (1958) under the stage name Carole King

[@leonardovinci8144]

Thanks man

[@Eric4471066]

Her name is Carole King. Not Klein!!

[@josephscally6270]

@@Eric4471066 Carol King is her stage name. Read the whole post.

[@KingoftheJuice18]

@@josephscally6270 Back then, "Klein" was probably considered "too Jewish"--even though the name Sedaka is literally Hebrew (but it's Sefardic, so not generally recognized as a Jewish name in the US).

[@jackhaskell694]

And to be clear, even though Carole’s response was not as successful as Oh Carol, she was one of the most successful singer-songwriters of the 20th century, crafting hit songs for multiple artists. Her own album Tapestry is widely considered a masterpiece.

The lyrics tell us he should be sad, sad enough to cry and die, but he can't contain the ebullience he feels knowing he wrote and is now singing a hit song. But, seriously, you'll love *"Laughter in the Rain"* (my favorite song of his), if you haven't already heard it.

[@TheSyl1408]

So cool NS, cute, fresh, lovely teeth, nice moves. Had forgotten him, thank you;

[@lifelover515]

I like your warm, intimate style and I'm glad you like the music of this period. Neil was one of the best of the 'Brill Building' singer-songwriters. But the music is not live - he's miming to his own record. His 'gay' dance moves with that goofy grin crack me up. I used to teach English to a sweet Japanese grandmother who loved this song. My fantasy was to sing it to her in karaoke in front of her husband, on bended knee for the spoken interlude. 'Oh Kayako'.

[@daviddaking5969]

It was The Dick Clark Saturday Night Beechnut Show. It was The First Show Dick Clark did outside of American Bandstand. It was also the Second To Last Performance of Frankie Lymon who was trying to hold on to his momentum although his Career was all but over.

[@laminage]

Neil was next to Paul Anka the Kings of Teen Angst. Carole King would be a superstar in her own right who was next to Ellie Greenwich (RIP) the first successful Female Songwriters in Music. She's written a veritable List of Hits. One Fine Day (The Chiffons), Will You Still Love Me Me Tomorrow (The Shirelles who made history by being the first Girlband to go to Number One). Up On The Roof By The Drifters and I'm Into Something Good originally by The Exciters but was a bigger hit for Herman's Hermits during the "Original" British Invasion. If you can check out Calendar Girl.

[@StevesFunhouse]

He had a bunch of hits like, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do but later, he had a HUGE hit with Laughter In The Rain. It's a really great song. I think you'd like it a lot (hope so).
