Rest in peace Neil Sedaka, an absolute legend. American singer, songwriter, and pianist. He had a peak in the 60s but then had a major resurgence starting in the 70s. He was born in Brooklyn to a Sephardi Jewish father and Ashkenazi Jewish mother. His family name is a variation of the Hebrew root word for both “charity” and “righteousness.” Via sia.kordestani #jewishpeople #jewishlife #neilsedaka
