A fine rhythmic pianist with a thin, high voice that he strengthened by multi-tracking, Neil Sedaka turned his Brill Building pop songwriting smarts and doo wop influences into a long and successful career. He had two really distinct commercial peaks, a string of teen hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s and then another run between 1972 and 1975 where he essentially did the exact same thing (and often with the same songs), although at slower tempos, which gave the latter period more of an adult radio feel, albeit with the same sort of lightly-wounded-in-love sentiment of his earlier period. This set, despite the title, is not Neil Sedaka's greatest hits (volume two or otherwise), but it is an interesting portrait of this likeable performer. Included are several tracks drawn from his 1970s comeback like the slowed-down version of "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" along with rarer oddities like "Cardboard California" and a live medley drawn from a 1974 concert with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall that spotlights truncated versions of his earlier hits "Oh Carol," "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" and "Calendar Girl," among others. It adds up to a warm and casual portrait of Sedaka, but for most listeners, a straight hits collection would probably be a better choice. Collectables' Best of Neil Sedaka: Stairway to Heaven is a pretty good budget-priced, ten-track collection, containing some of the songwriter's most popular songs. Please note that this edition includes the exact same track listing as the 2004 BMG Special Products release of the same name. The majority of Sedaka's Top Ten hits are represented, but to be definitive, this disc would have to include "Next Door to an Angel," "Calendar Girl," and "Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen." ~ Al Campbell Stairway To Heaven: The Best Of Neil Sedaka Music Stairway To Heaven: The Best Of Neil Sedaka Music Stairway To Heaven: The Best Of Neil Sedaka Review

Stairway To Heaven: The Best Of Neil Sedaka
$6.39 One minute she's stylishly rapping across the stage and the next she's humming soulful ballads to her attentive audience. Her gorgeousness lights up the room. She is Rhodesia, aka Lady Rho, the epitome of world-class. She is the embodiment of chic. She is the essence of grace. She is the image of pure beauty. She wrecks the mic as hard as any male rapper out today, but still maintains her and sexiness. Think Queen Latifah meets Lauryn Hill with a southern accent.Born and raised in Southeast Texas, Lady Rho has seen life in some incredibly desolate places. Nevertheless, she has been fully inspired by the pain of poverty and misfortune, to write hundreds of songs. Lady Rho, counting it all as a blessing, is patiently watching as God unfolds His plans for her future.The truth of the matter is, she is precisely what the music industry is lacking. Her music speaks for itself. She addresses real issues like poverty, self awareness, love loss, greed, friends, and the destructive music industry - to name a few. The message in nearly every song is in one way educational, motivational, or self-reflecting. She is skilled in rapping as well as singing. Her music is best described as a mixture of fiery hip hop verses accompanied by smooth R&B vocals. She certainly has no need to apologize for breaking and entering into the music industry. A born leader, she is blessed with brains as well as beauty so there is no surprise that the entire globe longs to hear what she has to say. This world-class dignitary comes in the door ready to take the entire Hip-hop and R&B world by storm.When asked how she consistently stays on top of both the R&B and Hip Hop scene her reply is, "I really really love what I do. This is my life. I have performed mostly in the Southern states and I can't wait to share my energy with the whole world. This music is something that is not going anywhere ...
