Neil's Brighton Beach Memories features thirteen songs inspired by his Jewish roots - a recording that you will enjoy listening to over and over again.
Neil Sedaka doesn't disappoint with this album. Each and every song is done so beautifully and with such heart. I bought it for my mother who is 87 years old. These were the songs of her childhood.
heartwarming:
It was so nostalgic listening to songs I grew up hearing. Sedaka did a great job conveying the feeling of yesteryear, warmth, family, and feelings.
Brighton Beach Memories - Neil Sedaka Sings Yiddish:
I love the songs, but thought the delivery somewhat mediocre. The best is from the Barry Sisters!
Sedaka totally transforms himself into the Yiddush Soul Man:
My mother loves this collection (She IS a true "yiddushe mama"); my brother, born in Brooklyn in 1948, now living abroad, had to have this CD in order to feel whole (it soothes his home-sickness; it's great to hear Sedaka the Rocker of the 50's, 60's, 70's put over all of these Yiddush classics so well and so emotionally.
