NEIL SEDAKA. E uma lenda do cinemaadoro ele nao perco um filme dele
This was delightful and Joe was even respectful enough to NOT constantly interrupt Mr. Sedaka. I lost my only sister this past September and this brought back precious memories. She loved Neil Sedaka and played his music over and over again.
"Solitaire" is my favorite Neil Sedaka song. Hits home and brings me to tears. 👍👌♥️
Joe briefly begins to duet with Neil….wish he’d kept going 1:42-1:44 Always enjoyed singing along to Sedaka’s songs - & still do ✨👍🏻✨
Neil Sedaka's music absolutely hits that spot in my soul. I love this interview.
"There was a time when strangers were welcome here". That was before 2016.

Super! Sedaka is a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. Great interview!!
Pure genius.
Could listen to this guy all day
Myself being a 48 year old woman and I really like his music. Thankyou 😊 from Australia
This is amazing, thank you! : )
Should be in rock and roll hall of fame
Morning Joe…You MUST have Neil on again….and again…and again…. 😊
You are a really wonderful man, good singer and very good pianist too, I used to hear your songs when I was a teenager (I was borned in 1947 march 25): I have many favorites like You mean everything to me, I must be dreaming (both very romantic), run sanson run and so on. God bless you for ever Neil, most of all because you are a very humble man in spite you're a famous singer. Congratulations and salutes.

My favorite is Stairway To Heaven I grew up as a teen with Neil Sedak as music what a great musician an d songwriter and I still listen to his music. Love to hear him playing th e bells on the song Church Bells M ay Ring. Shout out to Neil from Lex ington Ky
I could listen for hours to Neil Sedaka, sitting at the piano playing and telling how he did it. Thank you Neil, thank you so very much.
I loved Neil Sedaka in my teenaged years, I am a Jamaican, and he was very popular in Jamaica. I was SO happy to see this interview this morning. Thank you Joe.
An incredible musical talent and artist
In 1990 I was a dancer for a tv show that featured him and I got to be his “calendar girl.” I was in heaven. Lol. So talented.
Oh my, Joe kept his mouth shut and let his guest do most of the talking. I'm in shock.

Too bad you refuse to do likewise.
Neil looking and sounding great!
Tremendous segment. Thank you Neil, Joe and MSNBC
Was in my country and watch his show in Araneta Colisium 1960's
This was awesome. My fav' song by Sedaka is "Workin' On A Groovy Thing".
What a prized interview you have Joe, and he was in the same restaurant, though you were emboldened to come up to him knowing what a prize catch Neil Sedaka is, and you to him as it turned out ! Like you went fishing, in that restaurant, and hooked a willing fish. What a prized-catch for an interview really.
He really is a musical genius ❤ such such memories of childhood ❤
So bring on Paul Anka who was at his best at the same time Sedaka was.
Pure love. Thank you very much.
The touch of a masters hand
What a fine video such a nice man such gret music...
Yeah legends and how this situation plays into their careers matter to me. The Beatles are one example. Elton John another.
Favorite People. There's Charlie Rose. So many nights we watched him after Late Night News. It's 1 a.m.,. No, it's 2 a.m., in the ginmilll. New Year's Day. Joe Scarborough and Mika Bregniezski (sp) perched on stools. Commandeering the ivories is Neil Sedaka making the keys sparkle. The saloon door opens. In walks in Paul McCartney, wearing heavy black Navy jacket. Paul saz, "Baby, it's cold outside." Neil does a twill with his right hand fingers. Willie Nelson and Stevi Nicki take to the microphone. Paul holds a green tea. Sedaka goes into the slow version of "Breaking Up is Hard to Do." Everyone sings. Immortality is achieved.
Great stuff! For once we get something good about America

Few under 40 know who he is. Some do of course. But most don't.
I’m happy to give my honest opinions now so everyone thinking of running in 2024 can do some soul searching before they do so. Not that my opinion has to matter, but it’s worth considering.
