Never a big fan of Sedaka, although he made a big contribution pre-British invasion. Amazingly, he grew up in the same Jewish Brooklyn neighborhood about the same time as these contemporaries: Carole King (of course), Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand, and Barry Manilow.

I wasn't a huge fan either, although I did like his remake of Breaking Up is Hard to Do.
DeleteKen Emerson wrote a great book, Always Magic in the Air, about Sedaka/Greenfield and 6 other great songwriting duos of the era.
Ouch -- not sure how I forgot this classic.
