The Neil Sedaka Touch

The Neil Sedaka Touch
Neil Sedaka sings and excerpt from his 1974 hit "Sad Eyes." The stage setting is a sort of "Copacabana" scene, with Sedaka in a honky-tonk pianist costume (complete with black vest and slacks and a red garter on his sleeve) in front of a three-panel room divider and potted ferns. Sedaka is accompanied by a man wearing a Ragtime straw boater and pretending to play clarinet, while a woman in a black dress and red feather boa sits on a chair looking forlornly into the distance, embodying the "sad eyes" of the song.

The Neil Sedaka Touch
Neil Sedaka says that when he was planning this show, he asked one of his best friends to be a guest. Saying "Here he is to share a song which I recorded with Elton John," Sedaka introduces Andy Gibb, and together Sedaka and Gibb sing a duet of excerpts from "Bad Blood." Gibb wears red slacks and a floral shirt opened to his waist, revealing a medallion on a chain and prodigious amounts of chest hair, while Sedaka sports a dark suit with brocade gold vest and an extra-wide wide collared white shirt. Shot of the duo in front of the audience, then clip ends in a freeze-frame.
The Neil Sedaka Touch
Neil Sedaka opens the next segment by saying "I did not start out as a sex symbol," then waits a beat for canned audience laughter as he adds "I had to earn that title." Sedaka then introduces the first song he ever wrote (at age 13), saying "It's not great. In fact, it stinks." Sedaka plays piano and sings the unnamed "stinky" song "("The Sire of Love"?) Accompanied by more canned laughter. Afterwards Sedaka holds his hands to his face and says "Stinks. Stinks. I can't imagine why nobody recorded that song."
The Neil Sedaka Touch
In another scene change, Sedaka appears with his daughter Dara, who wears a pretty white dress. Neil looks his daughter up and down and says "Dara, you look absolutely fabulous" and she replies "Well, thank you for the dress." Neil says "Don't mention it," then turns to the audience and, putting his hand to his face Jack Benny style, says "So I'll wait a little longer for my new piano." Cut to shot of older women in audience laughing uproariously. Neil and Dara sit together at the piano sing duet of an excerpt from "Should've Never Let You Go," their top 20 hit. The clip ends abruptly in an odd freeze-frame after the first stanza, just before Dara is about to sing.
