Neil Sedaka: The Tra-La Days Are Over
Simon Frith, Let It Rock, October 1973
NEIL SEDAKA'S album is a more explicit farewell to his past the tra-la days are over. Except on this album, where Sedaka's sharp voice and trilling piano are given brilliantly old-fashioned support by 10cc. The lyrics of 'Rock And Roll Wedding' may be ironic, but the sound is plainly and enjoyably in the best Sedaka/Greenfield tradition.
