Neil Sedaka

 is a legendary American singer-songwriter and classically trained pianist who has significantly influenced pop music across eight decades. Born on March 13, 1939, in Brooklyn, he became a teen idol in the late 1950s and successfully reinvented his career in the mid-1970s.

• Classical Roots: A Juilliard-trained pianist, Sedaka later returned to his roots by composing symphonic pieces and piano concertos, such as "Manhattan Intermezzo". 

Prolific Songwriting

Sedaka has written or co-written over 500 songs, many of which became hits for other major artists: 

• "Love Will Keep Us Together" (made famous by Captain & Tennille).
• "Is This the Way to Amarillo" (a major hit for Tony Christie).
• "Solitaire" (covered by The Carpenters).

Sereno, a National Geographic Explorer, says the newly discovered dinosaur was roughly the size of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, about 95 million years old and likely had a large, brightly colored scimitar-shaped crest covered in keratin.
