Neil Sedaka fans believe it's high time for Neil to get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

With a career spanning six decades, a rare feat in the entertainment world, Sedaka never ceases to amaze.

You don't have to count Neil Sedaka's gold records worldwide to know what his name means in the world of Rock & Roll. His songs are so well-known and loved, it's hard to believe there was a time we didn't hear them.

The 1970's music included better talent, songwriting, and live performances than any other era.

[@Shopmyst]

The 60's was just as good or better.

[@ernestheron2008]

I soo agree. The singer song writer era..Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Carly Simon, Carol King and Aretha Franklin ❤️

[@timothymoore6341]

The 80s was a great decade for music too, especially with rock, r&b and soul music!

I was so lucky to grow up in the 70's. We didn't realize at the time, just how lucky we were to have all this incredible music. There will never be another time when music is this good.

[@TonyWeaving]

I also grew up in the 1970s. I was 10 in 1973, we lived through the BEST decade EVER for music. We Had Pop Glam Rock Punk etc etc. We were so lucky. Much better than the music around today. These songs will be played for years to come. Music today will be forgotten next week but our music will live on and on.

[@SB-mm9zh]

Totally agree with you. In my opinion no other era had such diversity in music and such talent. Even most of the Christmas songs we hear every year date from the 70s.

[@easyglider69]

You where happy and free to live in a free world. I was in the comunism, behind the iron curtain. We where starving. I did not know about "Live Aid" until recently when I saw the movie about Queen. But YES, despite the fact my music was recorded from illegal broadcast stations (VOA and Freedom Europe) on tapes, it was the best time for music.❤ Now I am equally happy that I can browse my streaming service, read the lyrics and find out about my dearest songs and musicians. And from time to time I DJ some oldies party where everyone come to hear those songs from golden music years.

[@rwboa22]

My KZbin Music playlist is pretty much all songs from 1966 to the mid-1980s with mostly songs from the 1970s. Late Gen Xer, yet my parents steered me into what they listened to back when they went to school, or in my Dad's case, the Army (including a tour in South Vietnam in 1970-1971).

Neil Sedaka drained every last ounce of goodness of this song in this particular show! Other versions are good, none are this good!! He absolutely nailed it. LIVE!!

[@LawnBunny777]

That's real talent. Someone who can actually sing and hit all the notes without autotune. Listening to him sing made me feel happy inside!

The 70s belonged to Neil Sedaka.I miss those great days of being a kid back then.No internet.No social media.No cell phone or internet bills. We all played outside and were active.When it rained we had our board games and record collections. Greatest time to be alive.

Man, how I miss music like this...if only we could pack up & go back to the 70's, when things were so much simpler & so much happier...we had it made back then.

[@TheLAGopher]

The 70s were the 70s because of the 60s. American society had gone through the seismic social shifts of Vietnam,Civil Rights,and student protests. The upheaval carried over into the 70s with the fall of Saigon and Watergate. By 1975,when this song was released,America just wanted to take a break and feel good about itself. It was a time to enjoy peace and greater personal freedom.

[@ianman15]

One of the best comebacks in music history. Sedaka was mostly forgotten as a hitmaker and singer for a decade before this release although notable people did cover his songs. A hasbeen at 26 and a number one artist in the 70’s. It’s never too late and you’re never too old. Just ask Tina Turner!

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

1975 was the year of Sedaka: Bad Blood, Laughter in the Rain, and Love will Keep us together.

[@elizabethhill908]

Actually, " Love will Keep us Together" was Captain and Teneille (sp?) you know, of "Muskrat Love" fame, 😊 but I like your taste in music. Edit... Well I just learned that he wrote for C.and T., not a surprise 😊 they were all great! ❤ I still smile so much when I hear any of their music.

[@ronnyvonallmen6892]

[@todd8109]

Simply timeless. I grew up in the 70’s and this music never gets old

[@t40onbass]

The hat worn on his 1974 LP "Sedaka's Back" was given to him by Al Pacino

[@NationalistRussian]

I first heard this song working in TJ Maxx. They would play it on their little retail radio station and I fell in live with it. The way that chorus falls in like a heart melting. Well, I've gotta say that was one good thing that came from that job, being introduced to Sedaka.

[@chrish9155]

[@ericbgordon1575]

I won't stop saying this until it happens; industry insiders need to be scouting for musicians that are expressly attempting to measure up to musicians like Neil Sedaka. It has to happen at a moment when at least one of them discovers how how bored out of their skulls everyone is with predictable stuff that's supposed to represent an instant sell.

[@AllenMichael]

@@ericbgordon1575 they wont because their agenda is to make our culture ROT. The moral decay of society started in the 60s but it has finally reached its peak. Its only a matter of a few years and we will see America die.

This reminds me so much of the June weekend in 1979 when my special lady at the time and I spent an unforgettable weekend in Toronto. I was done high school and heading out west to British Columbia to take work with my uncles' construction company and she had a year to go. It was doubtful we'd get back together due to moving on in our lives, so we decided to celebrate our high school romance with a long weekend in the city. The Friday we arrived, we checked in to the Chelsea Inn downtown Toronto, and headed out in the pouring rain to walk along harbourfront. We walked hand in hand, sometimes stopping under an awning or tree just to hug, kiss, and savor the moments. It's a time I will never forget. We stayed close friends, yet drifted apart when we both found other lovers. It was a beautiful weekend...four days later we said goodbye through the window of the train I was taking to the Toronto airport...
