On this day 1939 : Neil Sedaka

On Wikipedia you can read his biography of which I quote just one (edited) small paragraph.
The best-known Billboard Hot 100 hits of his early career are "Oh! Carol" (#9, 1959), "Calendar Girl" (#4, 1960), "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" (#6, 1961) and "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" (#1, 1962).

A Scopitone video exists for "Calendar Girl".
More info about artists is available all over the internet like for instance of Neil on History-of-rock.
Here's this (mentioned) Scopitone Calendar Girl on Youtube. A cute video clip !
To celebrate his birthday I post, instead of a complete album, his Oh Carol and (of course) Carole Kings answer Oh Neil (especially note the end of this song !).
