Laughter In The Rain (live from Royal Albert Hall)

Biography

The legendary Neil Sedaka is best known as one of the first superstars from the Brill Building, an extraordinary singer/songwriter and a constant in a very fickle industry. If you were to play “Six Degrees of Separation” with the name Neil Sedaka, and didn’t connect him to Elton John, 10CC, John Lennon, The Carpenters and Ben Folds, then you wouldn’t get too far. His extensive career found its… Read more in Amazon's Neil Sedaka Store

5.0 out of 5 stars catchy tunes for adult and child alike!, January 16, 2009

This review is from: Waking Up Is Hard to Do (Audio CD)

First off, I'm in my early 30's... the original songs came out before my time; however, I did recognize almost all of the songs on this CD by the beat alone (i've been racking my brain trying to figure out the original titles!)

My almost 3-year-old daughter LOVES this CD.. to the point that I've memorized all the words of the songs. It's a relatively short CD so in one car ride we can go through half the songs each time... I love that I can still remember the original and children's versions and sing both versions back and forth!

Highly recommended for adults and children alike!

I enjoyed this CD of reworked lyrics to Neil's most famous songs. Such a cute idea for the young people. Neil is such a treasure and yet to be recognized by the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.

It's a nice change from the plethora of kiddie CD's out there. The songs are catchy and it's great fun to listen to the kids hum such familiar tunes.
