Without Neil Sedaka 10cc never would have happened.

That said never a fan. Right now The Midnight Special is rolling out 1975 episodes, and they are Sedaka and,Helen Reddy heavy.

Ugh.

The mid 70’s truly were Dicksonian , it was the Best of Times it was the Worst of Times

A guy I knew in college did a Sedaka one man show. Really talented guy. His kid actually just made his Broadway debut this past year. Regis Philbin loved him. Here’s a clip if anyone is interested.

When he was in high school in Brooklyn he went to school with Carole King and they dated - both child musical prodigies, writing songs well before they were out of high school. They even wrote songs to each other.

he wrote/co-wrote a lot of quality music...RIP

The guy was loaded. Songwriting pays.
