The famed singer songwriter Neil Sedaka passed away yesterday. His music will be missed. He was probably more successful as a songwriter, but he *did* perform as well. This song, from 1960, was his first top 5 hit in the United States and a #1 in Canada! The song, co-written by Sedaka and Howard Greenfield, is really a sweet tribute to the pinups of the past.
This video is from 1966.
Sedaka never really stopped performing, and he always mentored the next generation of musicians. Here he is with Fountains of Wayne in 2007.
