Sedaka was born in Brooklyn, New York on March 13, 1939. His father, Mac Sedaka, a taxi driver, was the son of Turkish-Jewish immigrants; his mother, Eleanor (Appel) Sedaka, was of Polish-Russian descent.

Neil sedaka first demonstrated musical aptitude in his second-grade choral class, and when his teacher sent a note home suggesting he take piano lessons, his mother took a part-time job in an Abraham & Straus department store for six months to pay for a second-hand upright. He took to the instrument immediately.

In 1947, he auditioned successfully for a piano scholarship to the prestigious Juilliard School of mѣ music's Preparatory Division for Children, which he began to attend on Saturdays. He also maintained an interest in popular mѣ music, and when he was 13, a neighbor heard him playing and introduced him to her 16-year-old son, Howard Greenfield, an aspiring poet and lyricist. The two began writing songs together.

As the 80s dawned, Sedaka enjoyed his last major hit in the company of his daughter Dara on "Should've Never Let You Go" and although he wouldn't have another chart hit, he toured constantly throughout the decade. By the time 1990 rolled around, Sedaka had shifted gears again and began to concentrate on classical mѣ music. His most memorable effort to date has been "Classically Sedaka", a one take, six live session recording, with a 75 piece symphony orchestra.
