During the course of his impressive 60-year career, Neil Sedaka was one of the first teen pop sensations of the 1950s, a successful songwriter for himself and other artists in the 1960s, and a superstar in the 1970s. Today, he remains a constant force in writing and performing. After being catapulted to stardom when singer Connie Francis recorded his song \u201cStupid Cupid,\u201d Sedaka was able to sign a contract with RCA as a writer and performer of his own material. His chart-topping hits included \u201cThe Diary,\u201d \u201cOh! Carol,\u201d \u201d Stairway to Heaven,\u201d \u201cCalendar Girl,\u201d \u201cLittle Devil,\u201d \u201cHappy Birthday Sweet Sixteen,\u201d \u201cNext Door To An Angel,\u201d and \u201cBreaking Up Is Hard To Do.\u201d As a songwriter, Sedaka has penned hit songs for such artists as Frank Sinatra (\u201cThe Hungry Years\u201d), Elvis Presley (\u201cSolitaire\u201d),  Tom Jones (\u201cPuppet Man\u201d), The Monkees (\u201cWhen Love Comes Knocking At Your Door\u201d), and The Fifth Dimension (\u201cWorkin\u2019 on a Groovy Thing\u201d). In  1976, \u201cBreaking Up Is Hard To Do\u201d was re-released as a ballad, and made music history when it reached number one on the charts, becoming the first song recorded in two different versions by the same artist to achieve that feat.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypta.co.za\/admin\/submit\/youtube-video\/\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to submit your favourite Pretoria videos.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCgzgeTm3pKPjkFy4WHrH8xA\">Visit the MyPE YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><small>This <em>State Theatre<\/em> video was automatically curated and published with <a href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\">WP Robot<\/a> plugin \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to learn more about <a href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\">WP Robot for WordPress<\/a> \u2013 a massive time and money saver.<\/small><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/submit\">Read, Republish and Submit Press Releases to MyPR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A MyPTA.co.za selected video for you: https:\/\/www.statetheatrenj.org\/event\/neil_sedaka See Neil Sedaka live in concert with a full band!
