Neil Sedaka
Neil Sedaka was born in Brooklyn, New York, on 13 March 1939 and
won a scholarship to the Juillard Music School (the school
depicted in the movie Fame) to study as a classical
pianist.
He teamed up with Howard Greenfield to write many songs for
other artists - including Stupid Cupid for Connie Francis
- and then began singing himself.
Sedaka wrote most of his own hits including his first, The
Diary, in 1959, Oh Carol, King Of Clowns, Happy
Birthday Sweet Sixteen, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
and Calendar Girl.
