Sedaka was a very talented guy...I never got to see him unfortunately...His love for his craft seemed to shine through on the small screen, that was plain to see.
Another guy from that time that I missed was Neil Diamond..After seeing the oscar award nominee Kate Hudson from the movie ''Song Sung Blue'' I was reminded just how special he is...Been listening to Diamond's material a lot the last few days.
Some great artists from that era.

This is also one of my own video rips, from unofficial DVD/.VOB files.
This is a spectacular live performance by Neil Diamond, originally broadcast on the BBC on September 4, 1971. Neil is accompanied by his acoustic guitar, the BBC Orchestra, and backing vocalists unseen on camera.
