QUESTION
JULY 28, 2010

Hello,

Do you know if there is an article out there that had reviewed Neil's 1974 concert on Febuary 2nd "Live At The Royal Festival Hall". A review of the actual concert and not the CD would be ideal. Thanks!

Jeremy

LAUGHTER IN THE RAIN, THE MUSICAL
APRIL 28, 2010

From the April 8, 2010 issue of "The Northern Echo" (UK), – in a review of the "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" musical, Neil is quoted as saying: "... Meanwhile, Sedaka is busying himself preparing to cut his next album this summer. 'The working title is "Sedaka Sings Doo-Wop" (Forties vocal-based rhythm and blues) which will be a new-old style of songs and, like all the songs I've done in later years, the lyrics will come from me because I like to put my own words to projects,' he says."

And, GOLDMINE Magazine (USA), Issue 777 from May 7, 2010, has this 5-star review of "The Music of My Life" by Todd Baptista:

At a time when many creative artists have relegated themselves to recording albums filled with standards or songs made famous by others, Neil Sedaka has delivered an original pop album for adults that draws on seven decades of composing and performing. Yet he still brings s
 omething fresh to each of its 12 tracks. Sedaka draws on his roots and experience in classical, doo-wop, pop, and international music throughout the disc, which is well-produced and sonically crisp and clear. "I would like to turn back time and live it all again" he sings on the energetic, salsa-Latino inspired opener Do You Remember, featuring both English and Spanish lyrics with production work by David Foster. Sedaka's double-tracked vocals on the opening cut give way to the stripped-down, piano-driven A Fool in Love, and the effective blues feel he sets on Living in a Fantasy. Longtime fans will be enchanted by Right or Wrong, a previously unrecorded song composed by Sedaka and his late song writing partner Howie Greenfield in the mid-1950s. A traditional doo-wop ballad, complete with smooth "shoo-doo, shoo-be-doo" harmonies and chime accents, it harkens back to the blissful days of four and five-part group harmony. Sedaka has publicly pondered whether The
 Music of My Life will be his final pop record. As he says in the liner notes, "There are only a certain amount of notes and chord progressions in pop writing." Yet, at 70, the composer demonstrates he is every bit the master pop craftsman. If, indeed, this disc is his swan song to pop music writing, Sedaka has gone out at the top of his game, creating a five-star classic worthy of his talent and reputation.

Went to see the first night of the new Neil Sedaka musical Laughter In The Rain at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, Kent.

SEDAKA ROCKS VEGAS
NOVEMBER 20, 2009

Just back from Vegas and glad to say it was one of the best shows I have ever seen Sedaka do.

riday night was just amazing, out of all the concerts I have attended this has to be up there with the best. Neil was on top form, boucing and dancing around, joking with the crowd. Do You Remember is better live than on CD, 100% show, 100% entertainment and I went there thinking this would be my last concert, but with Sedaka in form like that, I'm not sure it will be the last. I can see him going for many many more years. It was like a Sedaka from ten years ago. Bravo Neil, don't stop.

THE MUSIC OF MY LIFE
JULY 23, 2009

I received my copy of the album a few days ago. I had heard the tracks already through a friend of mine, but I was waiting for the CD to arrive to hear it from start to finish before I posted my notes.

I think this is a GREAT album indeed, very well produced. I do miss the production credits though. We know David Foster produced the first track, but they don't mention it anywhere.

Musically, this album reminds me a lot of the "Emergence" album, which is one of my very favorites. The strings arrangements in songs like I Keep Searching and the powerful beat in I Got To Believe In Me Again reminds me of Neil at his best!

I FELL IN LOVE IN A DREAM
WAITING

HOW CAN I CHANGE YOUR MIND
SHIP WITHOUT A SAIL
WON'T YOU SHARE THIS DREAM OF MINE

CONCERT PROGRAMME

I have been a big fan of Neil Sedaka for years and saw him at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on 18th June. I was thrilled at the concert but disappointed not to get a programme. Would any fan going to one of his other concerts in the UK be willing to buy an extra programme for me? I would be eternally grateful.

The Dublin concert was fabulous; packed auditorium, wonderful atmosphere and Neil was on top form. He sang three of the new songs from "The Music Of My Life" album which is about to be released... I can't wait to hear the rest of them. We met Neil backstage after the show and he was his usual absolutely charming self.

Thank you Neil for a wonderful night of music and I hope the rest of the tour goes well.
