About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Following right on the heels of his holiday album The Miracle of Christmas, Waking Up Is Hard to Do is Neil Sedaka's first children's album, a move that makes it hard not to wonder if Sedaka is working through his own "bucket list" of projects he's never quite gotten around to attempting. Like his Christmas LP, Waking Up is curiously, proudly out of step with the times, containing no modern production frills and being the better for it. It's just Sedaka and a keyboard, sometimes a little more, knocking out silly, sometimes clever send-ups of his classic tunes, throwing in a couple of pretty good new ones for good measure. It's lively, melodic, and engaging, with Sedaka goofing around with the kids -- some are indeed here singing along on choruses -- instead of talking down to them, and while that may not be quite the same thing as talking to them as an equal, it does make for an infectious, good-spirited listen. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

August 29, 2009: I enjoy sharing these CD's with all the children on my gift list. The music is so uplifting and the lessons shared by Neil and his grandchildren are entertaining and beneficial. I invite you to move with the music and enjoy the messages shared by Neil. This CD will brighten your day and bring a smile to your face. "If you are a GIRL or a BOY, Jump'n'Jive with Neil just for JOY."

stops a 4yr old in his tracksby LaconicElf

July 19, 2009: He was on one of the morning shows. The 4yr old was in high energy, typical, when Neil started singing. I hadn't been paying any attention to the TV up to that point, but as anyone with small children knows, when it gets unexpectedly quiet it's time to get interested. I went into the TV room and there he was just staring at the TV with this happy grin on his face. He listened to the whole song and after it was over he wanted more. The song that was played was the title track "Waking up is hard to do". I went out to B&N and ordered it. Every time we're in the car he wants his music. Almost every time it's this.
