Neil Sedaka is celebrating his 87th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-pianist Neil Sedaka (Bad Blood, Breaking Up Is Hard to Do, Oh! Carol, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 87th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Sedaka, a cultural icon

Born in New York on March 13, 1939, Neil Sedaka's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Sedaka's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Neil hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Neil Sedaka as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 87.

Happy Birthday, Neil, you're the best!
