Oh, on my list on who to avoid on a plane.......

Pronto.

Wish this was about Ray Charles...

It must be amazing to write a song that people love.

Imagine being on stage and hearing your song being sung back to you.

Here's another one of my favourites before I hit the hay....

The best album ever Harry....

Also "Water of Love".......I love the way the songs just blend into each other.

A real proper album.

grey_so_what · 15-02-2014 12:58AM

Neil had gone a bit overboard with the Elizabeth Arden Foundation....

Ol' Donie · 15-02-2014 12:59AM

He has a wife? Wasn't expecting that, to be honest.

grey_so_what · 15-02-2014 01:01AM

She reminds me of my landlady in NY........

The same drawwwllllllll..........

"Oh you Irish gallllllllsssss, you are soooooo crazzzzzyyyyyyy........."

Nice lady, we used to make her stew!

Skid X · 15-02-2014 01:01AM

A lot of hit songs have the same chords.

Here is the proof (well worth a look)...

Ol' Donie · 15-02-2014 01:04AM

Most blues and early rock n roll use just three.

Skid X · 15-02-2014 01:08AM

Calendar Girl is like an advertising jingle

Ol' Donie · 15-02-2014 01:08AM

I'm finding this quite difficult.

Calender Girl. B*llocks.

I remember buying the tape in Golden Discs for 99p because the inlay card was missing

Another classic from that album:

Shutting Up seems pretty hard too, Neil.

grey_so_what · 15-02-2014 01:10AM

It's like being locked in a bubble gum cheerleader's locker....

Skid X · 15-02-2014 01:10AM

Thanks very much, Mr Sedaka but I would have preferred another hour of Guitar Heroes.

Skid X · 15-02-2014 01:14AM

I just noticed we passed 1000 posts! Congratulations everyone. I never thought it would get into double figures.

Ol' Donie · 15-02-2014 01:15AM

Heh, I'm pretty sure this is the first show on the Beebrock thread that's got thumbs down all round.

Frankly, I'd prefer disco night!

Be strong Grey!

Heh, I just remembered for years I thought Neil Sedaka (or whoever it was that sang Breaking Up Is Hard To Do) was a woman.

Harry Angstrom · 15-02-2014 01:22AM

This is boring. I remember watching the start of a BBC Four documentary about Herb Alpert a couple of years back. Was going to switch it off when it came on, decided to give it 5 minutes and became engrossed in it.
Neil Sedaka is a one trick pony. He ain't no Herb Alpert......

Haven't heard of Herb in years Harry!......Remember him well with his Tijuana Band.....:D

Skid X · 15-02-2014 01:26AM

I was watching The Karen Carpenter story a few days ago. She had a beautiful voice, one of the best Pop singers ever.

That's the thing...loads of the shows on bbc4 are rewarding, even when you don't expect it. This really isn't.

Solitare? B*llocks!

That's not even emotional. It's like something a kid in third class would write if asked to write about a lonely person.

Funny you should say, when this started i was asking myself if Sedaka had anything to do with "We've only just begun" (y'know, from Happy Gilmore ;-) ). That was the carpenters, though, wasn't it?

She did have a remarkable voice.

That's right, he was in the film. It was educational
