04.18.12
It is very sad for me personally to learn about the passing of the legendary Dick Clark. He was one of the first champions of my music, starting my career off by putting me on "American Bandstand" and its spinoff "Where the Action Is". I was also part of his first "New Year's Rockin' Eve". He was a national treasure, producing music television for young people, by young people. His influence single handedly changed the face of American music that helped launch the careers of many great artists who are still active today. He was always a dear friend and will be incredibly missed. My heartfelt condolences to his wife Kari and his three children. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

"WHAT HE CAN EXPECT WHEN SHE'S NOT EXPECTING" IS NOW AVAILABLE!!!!!!!
03.03.11

We are very pleased to announce the release of Marc Sedaka's book What He Can Expect When She's Not Expecting.

Like most men, Marc Sedaka expected at some point after getting married and have children. But after endless rounds of drug therapies, sixteen artificial inseminations, nine failed in vitro fertilizations, three miscarriages, six years of frustration, and a quarter of a million bucks, he learned that it’s not always that easy. Now, as the father of three young children (twin girls born through in vitro fertilization and gestational surrogacy and a son born completely naturally once the pressure was off), Marc can look back at his experience, laugh a little, and hopefully help those six million men in the trenches to prepare for what lies ahead. “While no single piece of advice can make things all better,” Marc admits, “I can at least offer a few must-have tips to avoid making things worse.”

What He Can Expect When She's Not Expecting is available wherever books are sold.

DON KIRSHNER (1934-2011)
01.18.11

I am shocked and saddened by the death of the great Don Kirshner, who discovered me at 18 years old. I walked into his office at 1650 Broadway, played a few songs for him, and he signed me to Aldon Music becoming my first music publisher and manager.

It was Don's introduction to Connie Francis, who would go on to record "Stupid Cupid" and propel my songwriting career. Donny worked for many years promoting my songs.

He was a great friend, a pioneer, and a father figure for many of us young songwriters. He will be missed. My heart felt condolences and love to his wonderful wife of 50 years, Sheila, his children, and his grandchildren.

JOHN LENNON (1940-1980)
12.08.10

In 1975, Neil wrote "The Immigrant" for John Lennon, who, at the time, was having trouble with the immigration department in the United States. When Neil phoned John to tell him about the song, John was reluctant to take the call since people normally only called to ask for favors, never to offer anything. He was very touched by Neil's gesture with the song, which remains a staple in Neil's live repertoire.

John - Even though it has been thirty years since your untimely death, the impact of your songwriting remains just as vital. In fact, my five year old grandson knows every Beatles song and has informed me that even though he loves my songs, his favorites are The Beatles. With Love, Neil.
