His family has announced his death today. Quite some musical legacy he has bequeathed.

I've just been listening to 'The Hungry Years' - super song.

Well my neighbours will love me. Doing a little Sedaka medley

I absolutely loved him and his music ever since my DM played it when I was a child. ‘Love will keep us together’ is my favourite of his, but he had so many wonderful songs. I wish I’d seen him perform live. RIP Neil Sedaka.

A very talented man with a long career! I hope he rests easy.
