Neil Sedaka : The Real Neil Sedaka (The Ultimate Collection)

Neil Sedaka

 (March 13, 1939 – February 27, 2026) 

was an American singer, 

songwriter,

and pianist. 

Beginning his 

music career

 in 1957,

 he sold millions

 of records worldwide

 and wrote 

or co-wrote 

over 500 songs

 for himself 

and other artists, 

collaborating mostly

 with lyricists

 Howard "Howie" Greenfield

 and

 Phil Cody.

After a short-lived tenure

 as a founding member

 of the doo-wop group

 the Tokens,

 Sedaka achieved 

a string of hit singles

 over the late 1950s

 and early 1960s, 

including

 "Oh! Carol" 

(1959),

 "Calendar Girl" 

(1960),

 "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen"

 (1961),

 and 

"Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" 

(1962).

 His popularity declined 

by the mid-1960s, 

but was revived in

 the mid-1970s, 

solidified by the

 1975 US Billboard

 Hot 100 number ones 

"Laughter in the Rain" 

and

 "Bad Blood". 

Sedaka maintained a 

successful career as 

a songwriter, 

penning hits for

 other artists including 

"Stupid Cupid"

 (Connie Francis), 

"(Is This the Way to) Amarillo"

 (Tony Christie),

 and

 "Love Will Keep Us Together"

 (Captain & Tennille). 

He was inducted into

 the Songwriters 

Hall of Fame 

in 1983 

and continued 

to perform, 

mounting 

mini-concerts

 on social media 

during the

 COVID-19 

pandemic.

Samuel Cooke

 (January 22, 1931 – December 11, 1964) 

was an American

 Soul singer 

and songwriter.

 Considered one 

of the most influential 

soul artists 

of all time,

 Cooke is commonly

 referred to as the

 "King of Soul"

 for his distinctive vocals,

 pioneering contributions

 to the genre,

 and significance in

 popular music. 

During his eight-year career, 

Cooke released 

29 singles 

that charted in

 the Top 40

 of the

 Billboard Hot 100 chart,

 In 1964, 

he was shot and killed 

by the manager 

of a motel in

 Los Angeles. 

After an inquest 

and investigation,

 the courts ruled 

Cooke's death

 to be a 

justifiable homicide. 

His family has 

since questioned

 the circumstances

 of his death.

 In 2015, 

Cooke was ranked

 number 28

 in Billboard magazine's
