Neil Sedaka Should've Never Let You Go (with Dara Sedaka)

[@rvcrvc2]

Neil was a much greater technical artist than he was given credit for. The harmony here is just impecible

[@jean-pierredevent970]

He has a few very familiar songs but these sound a bit simple . His "Solitaire" is a deep masterpiece. I have a feeling he would be huge if he came out only today.

[@bnegs521]

Neil's last top 40 song and her first and last top 40 song. What a beautiful gal she was!

[@marksouthcott2740]

It reached #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 on the Adult Contemporary charts in 1980.

[@sakaridis]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written! Neil Sedaka is a genius! And Dara is such a natural beauty and talent. She should've been a superstar!

[@chuckjeter9072]

This song is a masterpiece!!!

[@jean-pierredevent970]

I think so too. So many try to sing high today but for him it's natural. What a terrific material he and she have. It's likely that if you did this today, it would be a super hit.

[@apuzyr]

Her voice is incredible. So soft and soothing. The kind to make guys melt.

[@naja46]

Wonderful ! I've never heard his daughter sing before , she has a beautiful voice . I have always loved Neil's music & together it is a perfect partnership . Lovely !

[@kenperk9854]

DAra probably quit to avoid having to compete in the garbage dump known as the 80s.

[@Moyodsreds]

Beautiful song !! Had the 45 !! For such a big hit in 1980 ... It's ignored by radio !

[@kenperk9854]

Because it was a beautiful 70s song, lost in the garbage dump of the 80s. She was born a 70s girl and is still that to this day!

[@chrisoakley5830]

Lots of great music is ignored by radio, the programmers don't have a clue.

[@seadawgie]

I use to listen to this song in Okinawa and it brings tears to my eyes. Got my own youngins and now they are the love of my life. There were better fish in the sea;)

[@wylloughbye]

Man, I remember this performance....There was a one hour Neil Sedaka Variety Show where he was introducing all these new singers, and had guests like Andy Gibb singing Bad Blood with him, and The Captain And Tenille. Somwhere we still have the VHS tape of this. I was like 5 when it was on...

[@lisadebrier8850]

It is just a beautiful song sung by two people with great talent. Time to remove your mind from the gutter. If it bothers you that much, don't listen or watch it. Let those of us who DO enjoy it continue to enjoy it. TYVM.

[@LindaMethod]

How dear!! Sure do remember this wonderful song. Their voices match so beautiful. Neil is such a sweety-pie, and what a doll of a talented daughter he has. Blessings to them both!!!

[@yankees545454]

This is for someone I loved very much....Julie, I should have never let you go!

I vividly remember this production. Fantastic voices. What a gift to the world. Neil and Dara. Much gratitude....!!!!!

[@molliwilson5639]

The 1980’s …❤❤❤

[@DaveWollenberg]

Neil and Dara hit #19 in Billboard, 6-28-80. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Shalom, Neil and Dara. Have a blessed week!

[@joevs21001]

Neil is an incredible talent with a career that has spanned close to or exceeded 60+ years. There are very few musicians that can say that. Neil not only had his own hit records but wrote many songs for other artists and those songs too became hits. His daughter Dara has an incredible voice of her own. It's surprising she didn't do a lot more than she did. Neil Sedaka DESERVES to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's time.......

[@randallwatson8760]

+joevs21001 Neil Sedaka should have been one of the very first inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he is still not on the list of nominees for 2016....

[@hecs7802]

no matter the generation you come from Neil Sedaka always makes us happy inside great gentleman and a beautiful daughter with talent who looks like my granddaughter she doesn't sing but is a rodeo rider and I love her to take all you fans from a Scottish laddie

[@honker785]

A beautiful song, the voices blend perfectly. i should have never let you go Margaret, twenty-eight years on I still love you profoundly! Honker 785

[@Dee530Luvz2BeLoved5555]

What a wonderful Blessing, a Beautiful and very talented Father and Beautiful Daughter, a Gorgeous Duet, I must say-- I miss my Dad. thanks for Posting. Neil and Dara blend clearly their beautiful Voices. G-d Bless, Best Wishes to all. What a feel good song, and there is soo much talent in that Family. Peace, Marcie B.

[@jessopno1]

great voice, great duet, Stunning

[@suewoo882]

I have been listening to Neil Sedaka over the last 20 and more years with my family he is absolutely fantastic. When i found this song Should've never let you go singing with his daughter it took my beath away. I think one of the best and stunning.

[@richarddubois4255]

Such a beautiful well written song. Neil and Dara sound awesome

[@juan58102]

She is talented.. I am doing music in Fargo.. But Dara should get into the music 100%. .. Thanks for the posting!!!

[@ChicReal]

This is a very touching song, I remember singing this as a teenager when my parents would play it from their Neil Sedaka album. It brings back very happy memories for me, and I adore this song because of this. Thanks for posting the video.

[@captianron01]

It doesen't get any better than this ,he has to be proud of her she is beautiful and can sing great.

[@nealbrice]

I have the 45 rpm still today.....kept it all these years. Love the voice>

[@gemunuwira]

She is as talented as his famous father. The song I like most is Oh Carol. This was one of my favourite teen age songs. I still love it as ever.

[@Woundtootight]

Once again, I'm blown away. An old girlfriend sang this to me...

[@123Rockchild]

I LOVE, LOVE this duet! If I was a recording artist, I would find someone to sing this with. It's just lovely!

[@blondiesister1]

This song & HUNGRY YEARS are my favorites! ☻

[@RockLives4u]

It is nice that Neil and his wife could look back and share this performance with their daughter and grand children. .Nice and special in this tumultuous world that we live in..

[@4beatlefans]

So very true! Terry Wogan used to play it on his breakfast show (BBC Radio 2) at that time, and it's great to hear it again. Thanks for posting it.

[@yullian20]

I just listened to it! Wonderful song! She really had a lovely voice!!

[@ragtopman242]

Dara Sedaka has the tonal clarity and color presence that is so reminiscent of Lulu, who sings To Sir with Love.

[@ottowes]

Very nice! Like father, like daughter!

[@mercado123456]

super song !!! neil is a genius !!! ... and dara rules !!! most talented singer ... ever !!!

I've always liked this record - and I've heard Neil's voice before, but I've never heard him drop his "A's" in the "Brooklyn" way... ("she 's my dottah")

[@welcharge]

I heard this song when I was a child and it brings back such a beautiful memory. Music never sounded so pure.

[@snics456]

In the Pocket and now on CD under a greatest hits package.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

i had this on 45rpm when i was a kid..a really nice song..always loved it

[@danielc.8875]

What a father and daugher team. Perfect together.

[@cyn3100]

I haven't found this song anywhere else. It a beautiful song.

[@TopJimmyWinn]

Damn! I thought "Endless Love" was killer, until I heard this! Amazing! 5 Stars baby!

[@kittyscratchesboo]

Well said highmountain). She is genuinely happy to sing alongside with her dad and it is rare. It is very disapponting that this generation has such a warped sense of love or compassion and we can see this in society today. More than ever , sex offenders have been encourage by the very society who frowns upon it. Dressing up little girls with Brooke Shields make up on cable is disgusting and this was not the theme in the 70s. Children were children & this era was totally different than now

[@laurastone6578]

LOVE, LOVE this duet and song. So pretty!

[@carolchooljian3290]

How beautiful. I had the chance to meet him and his family. They are all so real and down to earth. He just never lost his Brooklyn Down Home Charm.

[@wolfgangkunz1903]

Great Voice From Father and his Daugther, beautiful Duett.

[@5downer]

Great song, haven't heard it in decades.

[@lorilarsen3447]

I had one of his albums on 8-track and this was on it. When 8-tracks went away, and cassettes came along I could not find the album. Then later found it on a compiled CD set only to have my bf of the time confiscate it for himself and then take it when he left. Now its here - and I am thrilled. Thank you!

[@obscurelyvague]

+Lori Larsen I guess that person is now your EX-bf

[@jordan04n]

[@windandmotocross]

Thanks so much for giving me your answer.

[@Creativ1]

This song is really beautiful..it actually has more meaning to me these days as I have reconnected with an old High School sweetheart after decades apart! So, the words of the song really touch me more now (and I'm sure him too :)

[@Mike16011]

¡Neil Sedaka y Paul Anka!, inolvidables; símbolos de los dorados años cincuenta.

[@kittyscratchesboo]

I agree. When Dara sang with her father all that I could see was the innocence of a 12 year loving the music industry and enjoying this industry with her father. I agree, people run on filthy minds and in the 1970s when this was performed, America was not as degerate as it has become. At that time, the filthy mentality in this era was not on the minds of folks as much b/c love songs is where most people were & were most influence by. All that I could see was real love between father& daughter

[@4beatlefans]

Super... there's little to match singing with your own daughter. Believe me.

[@BlueAngel0751]

Thanks for the memories......

[@Saskiaaaaaa]

Yes indeed she was a hit in Japan. She sang a number with Kitaro (also Japanese) "Angel Queen"is the name of the number were she sing.. Listen & Enjoy

[@rhymeandreasoning]

i remember buying this single as a kid at Sam The Record Man...still a great song

[@iron1215]

she has a great voice im surprised she didn't become a star on her own but i guess its kind of hard when dad is so successful look at john lennon's kid.

[@chuckheath1644]

Needs to be in the rock hall of fame

[@dwtslvr]

Their voices just compliment each other. The same way Paul Anka and his daughter Anetha do when they sing "Do I Love You". It would be nice if Both Neil and Paul and their daughters collaborated on a song.

[@DA90027]

I've been waiting years to hear this or see it!

[@ralphwidmann8376]

Such richness of talent through the generations.

[@rayva1]

When this song was released it was in 1980, Dara at the time was only 16. I estimate her year of birth was 1964 (I'm only guessing). Today, she'd be about 44. She actually makes her living as a screenwriter.

[@tinagetmetheaxe]

Just go to itunes and type in Dara Sedaka. I just bought it. It's fabulous.

What a beautiful song with two talented musicians, Father and daughter singing. everytime I hear it it brings tears to my eyes.

[@goldengirl67]

Both so very talented and when they sing together it is so complimentary.

[@KokoPuffs52]

I love the comments that say this girl should "get into the music" business - this clip is 30 years old! She's well into her 40s by now. I guess she didn't pursue a career in singing, or it didn't work out.

[@7czmcmmj]

My favorite duet with her father was I Miss The Hungry Years. So true for many of us.

[@kingscat3]

Beautiful in it's every context. Well done Neil.
