1976 HITS ARCHIVE: Breaking Up Is Hard To Do - Neil Sedaka (stereo 45--with 1962 intro)

Описание: Originally a bright-tempo number-one record for Neil in 1962, his reimagining of the song as a ballad--including a new lyric introduction--occurred at the request of Lenny Welch, who had first recorded it in this style in a 1970 Top 40 charted single:    • 1970 HITS ARCHIVE: Breaking Up Is Hard To ...  

Though the store-bought 45s of this number (heard here) led off with a 15-second reprise of the 1962 hit, radio stations were also issued a version without that intro:    • 1976 Neil Sedaka - Breaking Up Is Hard To ...  

(debuted late ’75) 1976 Pop Chart Peaks: Cash Box 7, Billboard 8, Record World 10 - A/C Peak: 1

Transferred from stereo 45 single Rocket 40500 - Breaking Up Is Hard To Do (Sedaka-Greenfield) by Neil Sedaka, produced by Neil Sedaka & Robert Appere
