- Neil Sedaka has been making hits for the last 6 decades. Many of his songs are considered modern day classics, such as "Breaking up is hard to do," "Calendar Girl," "Laughter in the Rain," "Solitaire," and "Where the Boys Are." And while his hit "Love will keep us together" contains the refrain "Sedaka's back," in truth, he never left. On this episode of InnerVIEWS, Ernie's conversation with Grammy award winning composer and recording artist Neil Sedaka.
Glad he mentioned his work with ABBA....Ring Ring is one of my fave songs of theirs
Sedaka's daily mini concerts during the pandemic are very good
This interviewer is fantastic. And Neil Sedaka couldn't be more open, honest, and delightful.
Best interviewer I’ve heard in a long time.
you can see why Neil Sedaka has lasted so long and is still going strong, He appreciates his fans, his songs and never tires of presenting the hits! Well done young man!!!
Good interview to the Greates singer and composer Neil Sedaka. We all never Get tired of listening to Laughter in The rain and every song he wrote. Tks a Lot Neil.
I never appreciated Neil Sedaka until recently. Not only is he a top talent, he seems like an incredibly genuine person and is humble when he could just as easily be conceited. It's so refreshing to listen to him talk and be open with anyone that asks him a question. Laughter in the Rain was a guilty pleasure for me and until now never admitted that I loved that tune. It was simply one of the best songs ever written and performed.
76 years for loving Neal Sedaka to my last breathe!
Neil not Neal,tho kneel I wil to his music in honor!
Neils a polished gem. I love this guy. ❤
Beautiful don’t stop singing for us. We love you 🙏💐❤
Neil Sedaka is a "mensch." He's a real person who has had exceptional success, all of it well-deserved.
A true STAR! Neil is an amazing performer. I never get tired to hear his sing and even sit down like this and just speak. I had to edit and add my thoughts. Neil is right where he wants to be in his life. He seems very happy and satisfied these days. I'm so happy for him.
what a great interview with one of the all time greatest artists!
Wow...this was a very interesting interview. I LOVED how Neil Sedaka was so open and generous with his answers. I think I learned a lot, while at the same time was entertained throughout the whole interview. Hey, I think SEDAKA IS REALLY BACK!
he never left haha, and I thought laughter in the rain was his greatest
Such a soft gentle guy. So gracious with his time.
Laughter In The Rain... pure pop bliss! Yes... best chord change in pop!
Peter gabriel-“in your eyes”

Excellent interviewer with a very gracious subject.
always loved neil sedaka and his output of great pop songs! he really is very talented as a songwriter and singer. went to see him perform live in august (2016) and he was terrific and looked and sounded wonderful. its easy to understand why he has lasted in the music business for almost 60 years now. you can tell he really appreciates his fans and is grateful for all he has in his life. this was a an endearing and interesting interview.
He never lost it
Aa
Do you get tired of laughter in the rain are you kidding I love singing it it inspires me.great man.
Great interview! Neil you are incredible!
What a great man, musician, talent, genius - and what a great interview! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Wonderful interview!!
The interviewer's questions were extremely sharp: not a single one was a throw-away.
I love the fact that Neil Sedaka was partially responsible for the success of ABBA later on ... How many people know that end it’s such an interesting trivia thing
Sedaka was one of thousands of great recording artists who were knocked off their perches by The Beatles.
I'm an artist. I write songs. Many people say or think at least:"ah YOU claim to be an artist." Like you can't believe in or define yourself. Someone ELSE defines who you are. Not YOU or your Maker. Someone who gave up on themselves and decided to become a jerk
Instead. But after i say what i do i always say: "I may very well be the worst artist on the planet. The worst artist whoever WALKED ON EARTH ! But i am one. True jerks can't even acknowledge that. I love listening to artists like Neil talk. I may suck but i know exactly what they're talking about. I'm not valedictorian or cum laude of the school or road to art but i did graduate. Thank you Lord for our brother Neil Sedaka. He's modest humble and great.
Great interview @ Ernie Mahouse.
Neil Sedaka, his brain is so sharp, focused on every question at this age, decades into his career. I suspect he somehow avoided the drug, and heavy booze culture so easily seen in his industry. Just the fact of the long marriage, with kids and grandkids so much a part of his life speaks highly of his lifestyle.
What is really cool: Sedaka is such a fine musician: he slowed down the "dom shooby doo dom dom.." and did BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO, like a ballad, lush strings, heart-achingly lovely. And it only goes to show ya, eh??
He made a lot of hits that were translated into Spanish but he never mentions how popular he was in the spanish speaking countries.
10 big hits in a row, during 1958 to 1963...the meat and potatoes of rock/pop music and still he's not in the Rock Hall Of Fame!!!! Blasphemy!!!
Neil is in his own category award status performer!
He never left🎶MAGIC🎼God Bless Angel🙏💜🙏God bless America🎼X💜X
He said he went from 30000 a year to 7 million a year after sedaka is back was released 2nd fame is better than 1st he said.thanks Neal for all your great music.
I like Neil!!!
i saw him in england in 1989 fine man
awesome keep it up
For what he's contributed to pop music he should paid a whole lot more than he's paid .hes an American icon.
Super q&a, Mr. Manouse!
He mentions Andy Williams covering his music, ahead of Elvis, Johnny Mathis, Abba, Peggy Lee, right down the line. Whoa. Got it backwards there, Neil.
Saving the best for last...plus he’d already mentioned about being signed to RCA by Steve Sholes who signed Elvis to the label...
Is there a story about his inspiration for the song You? I would love to know. It is one of the most heartfelt songs I have ever heard.
You always know yer gonna make it back - but as the years fade ye start to wonder.
Re: the eleven lonely, hapless years Neil had to deal with - his touch seemingly gone -
very scary in addition.
.
I love you!
the host here is as impressive as Neil Sedaka
Lol
You have to not let people adore you and tell them to adore Jesus Christ. Your gift is of God and not of yourself.
Can you please reply with the date of this interview? Thank you
