Tána Nemcová/Neil Sedaka/Neil Sedaka/Howard Greenfield/Howard Greenfield/Eduard Krecmar

Neil Sedaka (born March 13, 1939) is an American pop/rock singer, pianist, and composer. His career has spanned nearly 55 years, during which time he has sold millions of records as an artist and has written or co-written over 500 songs for himself and other artists, collaborating mostly with lyricists Howard Greenfield and Phil Cody.

Sedaka was born in Brooklyn, New York. His father, Mac Sedaka, was a taxi driver and a Sephardic Jew of Lebanese descent . ("Sedaka" and "Sadaka" are variants of tzadaka, which translates in both Hebrew and Arabic as the word charity). Sedaka's mother, Eleanor (née Appel), is an Ashkenazi Jew of Polish-Russian descent. He grew up in the then-heavily Jewish Brooklyn neighborhood of Brighton Beach, which lies on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. Sedaka is a cousin of singer Eydie Gormé.
