Song of the Day: Breaking Up is Hard to Do, words and music by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield, was Sedaka’s signature song, recorded twice: once in 1962 and again in 1975. Today, the Brooklyn-born Sedaka died at the age of 86. A prolific songwriter, Sedaka rode this song in its original rendition to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, only to return to the top 10 with his later recording. This is a Bonus Song of the Day in honor of a gifted and talented musician. Check out the 1962 hit and the 1975 reboot [YouTube link].
