A NEW DOCUMENTARY ON NEIL SEDAKA BBC 4 FRIDAY 15TH JANUARY

CALLED 'THAT'S WHEN THE MUSIC TAKES ME ' FOLLOWED BY 'ALL YOU NEED IS MUSIC'

something peculiar happening here -I don't know where the word 'none' is coming from should be DOCUMENTARY as I'm sure you realise

It can happen if you've innocently used a word that could be considered 'risque' but has two or more meanings.

DOCUMENTARY!!

I give up 11 letters-1st letter D last letter Y

Sometimes it can just be a few letters in the word Sandra that follow one another. If you leave a space between two of these letters the word will be accepted. Like this.. Doc umentary!

Ha Ha Ha reminds us of that game that used to be on the tele Sandra.. Not sure...I think it was... "Give Us A Clue"

That's When The Music Takes Me?

Maybe it took him already and there's No One on the programme BBC 4 Friday 15th January...

This is a very clever Forum you know, Sandra

I am going back to your comments (that have gone missing) on the Neil Sedaka programme last week Marian I replied but that went missing too. Just to say I didn't know that Neil lost his popularity after the British invasion in the early 60's the programme was very enjoyable, and the best part for me was when Neil had a few tears after learning his Laughter in the Rain had reached #1 in America in the mid 70's.........I had a tear in my eyes too, I felt so happy for him, to hit the heights again ............I did ask you Marian if Neil and his wife are still together ? I know they do have grandchildren, but in the interview for the programme, they were interviewed seperately, which I thought a bit strange.

I will just briefly repeat my missing post--I Loved this programme, and was delighted that it was so current, including his recent album. I have been a fan of Neil since he started and collected all his recordings-even when he was not doing so well.I have seen him loads of times in concerts, plus personally several times. I love his music---plus I really love Dara's voice--although I am not sure that she suits being blond!! Dara only made 2 cds [to my knowledge] and at one time were VERY hard to get hold of. In fact, I had to get one from Japan, via my Chinese friend , living in San Francisco. On one of the cds, Neil and Dara duet together, but I cant recall which one just now--this does not include "Should have never let you go", one of the best songs Neil wrote. I am sure that Leba and he are still together--they were totally devoted to each other, and he relied on her completely.
Did you know his twin grandaughters were born after IVF
treatment , paid for by Neil ? Then shortly afterwards , his son and daughter in law had a little boy naturally.

The Neil Sedaka Appreciation Society folded up several years ago-
-Pat and Sue, who ran it, just said that now it is so easy to find everything you need on the Internet, there was no need for a fanclub anymore.

I agree with Robert about your favourite bit, when they heard "Laughter in the rain " was number 1 !!

Thanks for all that info Marian.
Yes we LOVED the programme too - what a star.
I remember buying the 45 of 'Oh Carol' in 1959 and playing it to death including the other side 'One Way Ticket'

My sister is called Carole, and at her wedding, that was the first song played at the reception---about 46 years ago !!!!!

We like his music, he's multi talented, appreciated his fans too.
