História

Neil Sedaka é um cantor, pianista e compositor estadunidense geralmente associado com o Brill Building. Ele fez parceria com Howard Greenfield para compor muitos de seus sucessos, tanto para si como para outros cantores. A voz de Sedaka é identificada com a de tenor. O maior sucesso de Neil é a canção "Oh Carol" de 1959. Além de "Oh Carol", outras canções de Neil Sedaka fizeram sucesso entre o final da década de 1950 e início dos anos 1960. "The Diary" (provavelmente de 1958) fez parte da trilha sonora da novela Esplendor, da Rede Globo. As músicas "Breakin' Up Is Hard To Do" e "Calendar Girl", esta última de 1961 e a primeira de 1962, além de "Laughter in the Rain" são outros sucessos do cantor. Curiosidade: quando o grupo sueco ABBA estava no início de carreira, Neil Sedaka ajudou a fazer a versão em inglês de uma das primeiras canções do grupo nessa língua. A canção é Ring Ring , incluida no álbum de mesmo nome, em 1973.

Festival in Rhythm

Festival in Rhythm

Himself

After a series of successful concerts at the Araneta Coliseum in May 1960, American pop singer Neil Sedaka was contracted by LVN Pictures to appear in a musical featurette called “Festival in Rhythm.” The film was shown as an added attraction to “Dahlia” which was released in July. “Festival in Rhythm,” originally shot in color, was a compilation of musical numbers featuring LVN stars and singing and dancing talents leading up to Neil Sedaka. The only surviving print is a black and white workprint from the color original. Since black-and-white positive film stock was not full-color sensitive, warm colors (like skin tones) print dark, hence the dark complexion of the actors in the film.
