Speaker 2: have a Neil Sedaka on Later. He is a great talent,

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: you know, I guess sixty sixty two him, Frankie avalon

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: Paul Anka, what great music. Now there was talent, And

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: I just want mentioned real quick. My sister was on

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: American Bandstand with Dick Clark and she met Neil Sedaka

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: and he actually asked her out, and my stupid sister

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: said no, Yeah, so there was my per What a dope. Yeah,

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: so there's my in. You know, I could have been

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: you know, I have a decent boys. I can say.

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't think.

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: I could have been somebody. But now just another bum

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: walking around a Polucaville.

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: He's quoting from on the waterfront. But yeah, I mean

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: I hate well, actually, let me think now. Neil Sidaka,

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: the love of his life was his wife, Liba Liba Sidaka,

24
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: whose family owned the big hotel in the Catskills where

25
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: a very young Neil Sidaka worked and met her there.

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: So I think he might have wanted to go out

27
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: with your sister, But I think he was already on

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: the way to marrying Liba Siedaka even even back then.

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing.

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark, that's Mike.

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 3: I wanted to mention Neil Sidaka. But just one thing

32
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: before that, one way to Democra. The Republicans could modify

33
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: the Democrat to just say that Komane was in the

34
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: Epstein files.

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: He could have been.

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, you know the other thing about Sadaka, other

37
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: than is obviously I'm not telling how far be you

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: for me to tell you, but all the songs he

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 3: wrote for others, you know, I mean being a member

40
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 3: of the Brill building and that that whole crowd over

41
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: there is quite remarkable.

42
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he wrote, he wrote the Love Will Keep Us Together,

43
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: a huge hit for the Captain and to Neo. What

44
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: else I'm trying? What else did he write?

45
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: He wrote for Connie Francis.

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course, I'm sorry.

47
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: Now do you know that the biggest song did one

48
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: of his songs.

49
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: Well, that's a long story. Sinatra started to sing The

50
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: Hungry Years and concert and it was a it was

51
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: a very touching, very serious ballad from Neil Sidaka about

52
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: he and his wife when they struggled when they were poor,

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: the Hungry Years, and it was all about how he

54
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: misses the Hungry Years. And Sinatra started to sing it

55
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: in concert and then dropped it after a few weeks,

56
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: and Neil Sidaka asked me once, could you ask Sinatra

57
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: why he dropped us?

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: And I asked him, and imagine, that's a beautiful song.

59
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: It's beautifully written. He said, I didn't understand the song.

60
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: I didn't get it. He said, you missed the hungry Yers.

61
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: I miss when we were poor. He missed when we

62
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: lived in this little apartment. Moved back there.

63
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 4: You just go back.

64
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: It's so Sinatra, it's funny.

65
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thanks for calling. There was another song.

66
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: It was a huge hit Barbara streisand People nineteen sixty four.

67
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: It was the biggest hit in the world. People who

68
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: need People are the luckiest people in the world. And

69
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: Sinatra had always sing the current. We would never sing

70
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 1: it and they asked him why. He said, I don't

71
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: understand the song. People who need people are the luckiest people.

72
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: What the hell does it mean? And he was right.
