Over a career spanning six decades, Sedaka scored three No. 1 hits in the United States and also wrote chart-topping songs for other artists. “Our family is devastated by the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather,” Sedaka’s family posted on his Facebook page, describing him as a “true rock and roll legend.”Born in New York, Sedaka’s musical career began in the late 1950s. One of his first successes was writing “Stupid Cupid” for one of the era’s most popular US female vocalists, Connie Francis. Sedaka, an accomplished pianist, became a star in his own right in the early 1960s, with pop hits including “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.” His popularity faded in the second half the 1960s as bands like The Beatles came into fashion, but it revived in the 1970s with easy-listening favorites like “Laughter in the Rain” and “Bad Blood.” Sedaka’s “Love Will Keep Us Together” became a No. 1 hit for the husband-and-wife recording duo Captain & Tennille in 1975. Sedaka had dropped out of the charts by the 1980s. He remained a showbiz fixture and kept performing even as commercial successes waned. — AFP
