Love Neil Sedaka almost as much as I love Clay. My wish would be that Neil would write some music for Clay. I think that would make a lot of people’s dream come true, fans that is. What a great combination those two would make.

Clay Aiken has many friends in the entertainment field. Neil Sedaka is an important person to have on your side.

I had forgotten about this show. I am glad that Clay was a part of honoring Neil.

Gosh, I had forgotten all about this. I remember taping the show to watch later and just dying to get a glimse of Clay. I have always been a fan of Neil Sedaka just like Clay’s mom!

But, I am an even bigger fan of Clay Aiken!!!!!

A wonderful song paired with an awesome voice. I’m a fan of Neil so I was excited when Clay got to sing Solitaire on Idol. I loved Neil’s heartfelt reaction to Clay’s performance.

I love Neil Sedaka- Laughter In The Rain is one of my favorite songs, and he brought tears to my eyes with how much he enjoyed Clay on AI. Thanks for another great post, and all the great memories you brought back!

I also love Neil Sedaka…and so wish that he would write a song for Clay like he said on AI2. Solitaire will always be one of my most favorite songs.

I saw Neil Sedaka in concert many years ago – he is an amazing performer and songwriter.

Solitaire has always been one of my favorites (and Laughter in the Rain), Clay Aiken did an amazing job with Solitaire and did, in fact, make it his own.

I love Neil Sedaka and I really love that he is fond of Clay. I’ll never forget when he said Solitaire will always be known as a Clay Aiken song. What a generous man he is to give Clay credit for putting a big ole’ spotlight on his song!

Neil Sedaka and Clay Aiken, what a super talented pair of guys!
Clay’s hit with Solitaire is unbeatable.
Thanks for the great write up, I didn’t know the SHOF was only online, I’ll have to check it out..and give Solitaire a listen again
