Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen: The Best Of

2007 double CD set that focuses on Sedaka's early years as a Teen Idol and Pop hit maker in the late '50s and early '60s. Singer, songwriter, and pianist Neil Sedaka enjoyed two distinct periods of commercial success in two slightly different styles of pop music: first, as a Teen Pop star in the late '50s and early '60s, and then later as a singer of more mature Pop/Rock in the '70s. In both phases, Sedaka, a classically trained pianist, composed the music for his hits, which he sang in a boyish tenor. This compilation gathers his early hits and album favorites including 'Calendar Girl', 'Breaking Up Is Hard to Do', 'Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen' and 'Oh, Carol'. Music Club Deluxe.
