Tapers Notes
 
 
Neil Sedaka sold 40 million records in a five year period between 1958
 
and 1963.  What happened iin 1963?  The Beatles, and the American singer-
 
songwriter died.  He continued to write songs for other artists, including
 
Connie Francis ("Stupid Cupid" and "Where the Boys Are"), the Monkeys,
 
the Fifth Dimension ("Working on a Groovy Thing") and Captain and Tenille
 
("Love Will Keep Us Together").  He went to solo hits in the 1970's including
 
the 1971 No. 1 hit, "Laughter in the Rain" and a 1975 remake of "Breaking Up
 
is Hard to Do" both of which reached No. 1 in the pop charts.
 
 
This is a rare appearance, as he doesn't tour much, and especiall interesting
 
since it is at the accoustical perfect Disney Hall in Los Angeles.  This is
 
just Neil Sedaka and a piano.
