Neil Sedaka

And it was there that I met Elton John, who was starting a record company, Rocket Records, in America.

And he was a big fan of my early records.

And he knew that I was recording with a group called the 10CCs in Stockport, England.

Marvelous group at the time.

And I made two albums with them, and both of them were successes in the U.K.,

And Elton said, you know, I think I could launch you again in America.

And I said, well, that would be remarkable.

Elton had me record an album called Sadaka's Back, which was a remarkable comeback for me.

And I always thank Elton for that.

Yes.

Well, after 11 years, to have a number one record was a remarkable comeback.

And Love Will Keep Us Together was on, and The Immigrant, and That's When the Music Takes Me.

I was very proud of the collection.

I write once or twice a year.

I wrote some new songs that I'm working on for a children's album.

I actually rewrote, since I have three new grandchildren, my son and his wife got after me and said...

You know, you're Papa Neil now.

You have to write some children's songs.

So I came up with the idea of changing the lyrics to some of my original hits.

So I did Waking Up is Hard to Do.
