Singer, songwriter, and pianist Neil Sedaka enjoyed two distinct periods of commercial success in two slightly different styles of pop music: first, as a teen pop star in the late '50s and early '60s, then as a singer of more mature pop/rock in the '70s. In both phases, Sedaka, a classically trained pianist, composed the music for his hits (lyrics were often provided by Howard Greenfield), which he sang in a boyish tenor. And throughout, even when his own recordings weren't placing high on the charts, he served as a songwriter for other artists, resulting in a string of hits year in and year out, whether recorded by him or someone else. For himself, he wrote eight U.S. Top Ten pop hits, including the chart-toppers "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," "Laughter in the Rain," and "Bad Blood." The most successful cover of one of his compositions was Captain & Tennille's recording of "Love Will Keep Us Together," another number one. And over the years his songs were recorded by hundreds of pop, rock, country, R&B, and jazz performers, including ABBA, the Carpenters, Cher, Patsy Cline, Rosemary Clooney, Sheryl Crow, Bobby Darin, Neil Diamond, Gloria Estefan, Tom Jones, Carole King, Peggy Lee, Johnny Mathis, the Monkees, Wilson Pickett, and Elvis Presley.
