My aunt was a huge Sedaka fan as a teen in the early 60s. Then he disappeared until 1975 when "Laughter in the Rain" hit no 1. This was a special year for her. She also had the hots for Freddy Fender.

[@karlschumaker]

In 1975,Neil Sedaka was trying to make a name for himself by trying to keep up with the times.So much, he got superstar Elton John to do background vocals on this particular song!!!

[@karlschumaker]

During the 1970s and 80s,Elton John was making so much of a name for himself that he was making television appearances on variety shows hosted by Cher and Olivia Newton-John. He also appeared on the Muppet Show and Soul Train.Neil Sedaka wasn’t the only person that he collaborated with. He also did songs with Olivia Newton-John,Dionne Warwick,Gladys Knight,Stevie Wonder,Rod Stewart,Kiki Dee,LeAnne Rimes,Dua Lipa and former Beatle John Lennon. Him and Bernie Taupin also wrote a song together(“Snookeroo”)for another former Beatle in Ringo Starr!!!

Me too. That's how the local radio DJs spun it, as a duet. Rob, I don't know where you were in 1975 but I was 15 and living in Gympie, a small town just north of Brisbane, Australia. This song was about as hard-core as you could hope to hear on 4GY! And it's still an excellent track today.

@@Bertrandes1 I was 14, and living just outside of Pittsburgh, Pa., USA. Alas I don't really remember what else was going on musically at the time; that period was something of a blur, as it marked the beginning of my transition from Top 40 towards album rock listening. Coincidentally, this occurred at almost exactly the same time that Elton John was moving to more pop-oriented material. Basically, after "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" came out EJ was off my radar.

[@biffmercury]

In the liner notes on the CD of Sedaka’s Greatest Hits, Sedaka acknowledges Elton John contribution as being the reason why this song was such a big hit, saying that Elton John was already hugely popular at the time and that his doing backing vocals drew a lot of attention to this particular song and Sedaka’s album. Sedaka’s wording of it in the liner notes was very gracious and complimentary towards Elton John, which I thought was pretty classy.

[@nsnopper]

I remember this being played (and played, and played) on the radio in the mid 70s. My impression was - and still is - that the guy who wrote and sang Oh Carol was trying to show that he was actually Bad to the Bone, but couldn’t quite bring off the transformation. Still, there’s no denying Mr. Sedaka’s contributions to pop.
