(160) NEIL SEDAKA 1961 DON'T LEAD ME ON and HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET SIXTEEN

If you recall (or if you want to use the search feature of this Google Blogspot!) you know that it was Neil Sedaka in the Brill Building who ran and got Bobby Darin, who was downstairs recording, and brought him up to meet me when I first moved to New York to be close to the action as a just signed United Artists singing-acting sensation. Neil was at the piano singing a song he'd just written, pitching it to me. You can click on the link to Neil's own web site and learn more about him. Here is Neil singing his 1961 recording of "Don't Lead Me On," presented on YouTube...




NEW UPDATE by Christine Trzyna on May 26 2010 :two replacement videos for expired videos and a link to his web site.

Here's his song "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" from the same year.

Very 1950's wouldn't you say?
