Neil Sedaka will be honored at Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center in New York on October 26, 2007 in celebration of his fifty years in show business. Performances scheduled are Natalie Cole, Clay Aiken, Captain and Tennille, who reached the top of the Billboard charts with Sedaka's Love Will Keep Us Together, Raul Midion, Renee Olstead, David Foster, and The Bad Plus.

Recently Sedaka returned to the Billboard top twenty album chart with the compilation of his greatest hits, Sedaka, The Definitive Collection.

In the late 1960s, Sedaka had tremendous success writing for artists such as Tom Jones, The Monkees and The Fifth Dimension, and Karen Carpenter's version of Solitaire. In the early 1970s, Elton John signed Sedaka to his label, Rocket Records. The result was two albums (Sedaka's Back in 1974 and The Hungry Years in 1975) that produced two of his hugest worldwide hits - Bad Blood and Laughter In The Rain, both of which topped the music charts.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do was re-released as a ballad in 1975. During this time, the Captain and Tennille had a worldwide hit with their version of Neil's Love Will Keep Us Together.
