About The Record:

Sedaka's Back, by Neil Sedaka, marked a triumphant return for Neil Sedaka after a decade-long hiatus from major chart success, showcasing his signature blend of pop and rock. The album, a compilation of tracks from his early 1970s UK recordings, was his first major US release since the 1960s and reestablished him as a prominent singer-songwriter. It features lush production by 10cc's Graham Gouldman and includes Sedaka's emotive piano-driven ballads and upbeat pop tunes. Historically significant for reviving Sedaka's career, it capitalized on the 1970s nostalgia wave and his renewed popularity in the UK. Hit singles include Laughter in the Rain, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and The Immigrant, a top 40 hit dedicated to John Lennon during his deportation battle.
