S.O.D. "Laughter in the Rain" by Neil Sedaka

5/1/2016     Just a good old pop song here with the sound of romance in it.  Written by Neil Sedaka – mostly the music, and Phil Cody, who apparently had some mother nature, fell asleep under a tree for an hour or two, woke up and wrote the lyrics.  I'm sure that has happened more than once.  

     A 1974 release that topped 3 charts in the U.S. and also hit #1 in Canada, placing on both country's Year-end charts along with Australia.  Mr. Sedaka is in his 59th year of music making  and has sold millions of records.  He has written over 500 songs of which many have been used by other artists.  One of his most important collaborations was with Elton John, who helped Sedaka make a comeback in the U.S.
