:) I never would have caught that if you hadn't pointed it out, Barry. (And I heard that song a lot in the 70s.)
I read recently that they just got divorced. Sad. :(

I never imagined that would happen. As the adage goes, they made such beautiful music together.
Hello Goodbye:
But that was nice of Toni Tennille to recognize Neil Sedaka the way she did. He was a casualty of the British invasion and it took him a while to come back.
Neil Sedaka had some more bad luck in the 1960s. He originally recorded It Hurts To Be In Love...
It Hurts To Be In Love ( demo, previously unreleased) Neil Sedaka - Definitive Collection CD
But because he didn't record the song in the RCA studio as required by his contract, he had to re-record it and the results were not as good. The song was given to Gene Pitney who took the song to #7 in 1964. Neil Sedaka's arrangement, musical score and even his own background vocals were used in Gene Pitney's version...

Really interesting information on Neil Sedaka, Barry; thanks for sharing it. And you're right; it was nice of Toni Tennille to recognize him.
Hello Goodbye:
