About the Author
The history of rock 'n' roll would be incomplete without the innumerable contributions of Neil Sedaka.

Sedaka began studying music at the age of nine, and later catapulted to stardom with hits such as Oh Carol, Calendar Girl, Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen, and especially Breaking Up Is Hard To Do. His songs Bad Blood and Laughter in the Rain both reached #1 on the music charts.

He has written over a thousand songs, received a Grammy Award for Record of the Year for Love Will Keep Us Together, has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In his fifty plus year career, Sedaka has sold over sixty million records. But he does not rest on these laurels: he continues to write, record, and perform worldwide.

Sedaka has been married for forty-seven years to his wife, Leba, and they have two children and three grandchildren. Marc Sedaka is a successful comedy writer for both film and TV. His credits include New Line Cinema's Overnight Delivery starring Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rudd, CBS's King of Queens, and NBC's Inside Schwartz. The proud father of three young children, Marc spends most of his time playing with dolls, building puzzles, and, of course, introducing a whole new generation of music lovers to his father's wonderful songs.
