You don't have to count Neil Sedaka's gold records worldwide to know what his name means in the world of Rock & Roll. His songs are so well-known and loved, it's hard to believe there was a time we didn't hear them. Neil Sedaka is one of those pioneers of Rock & Roll, who's still in the business, performing his songs he and others have made famous for more than five decades

great song writer

As a songwriter, yes. As a performer, yes too! He's not classic rock...he's what happened when Elvis went into the Army. For the HOF to have breadth, it should have him in.

And if you're a Sedaka fan, check out the scene from a movie on youtube...just search for Neal Wimos Out

pff

Neil Sedaka really deserves his place in the Hall Of Fame. It's long overdue...
