Neil Sedaka

CBS News Sunday Morning just did a piece on Neil Sedaka, who has a new album. Although his stuff borderlines on cheesy, Sedaka has been a prolific songwriter and accomplished pianist. Here is a pretty complete list of his songs, but a few examples are "Oh! Carol" (#9, 1959), "Calendar Girl" (#4, 1960), "You Mean Everything to Me" (#17, 1960), "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" (#6, 1961), "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" (#1, 1962), "Laughter in the Rain" and "Bad Blood" (both 1975), and "Love Will Keep Us Together" (#1, 1975).
