Neil Sedaka - One More Mountain To Climb Lyrics

There are artists where a "Best of" won't do justice. Because you'll miss gems like this one.

.
Today I found an old file on my system with a list of music to download. I was amazed (when I made the forgotten note, and again today) that this song was composed by Neil Sedaka (with lyric by Howard Greenfield).

I've never been enthusiastic about Neil Sedaka. But I have new respect for him now.

I've known this song since it was released in 1971, and later covered by a shitloade (that's metric!) of other artists, including the Canadian band Skylark (the version most recognizable to me, I think) and Dr. Music.

I've unconsciously thought of it as a "standard" — maybe even a "traditional" piece. To me, it has come to rank as an English-language standard, and even a "traditional" or folk song within my own lifetime.

Which reminds me that it's a mistake to underestimate another human being, even if you've found him/her irritating at times. : { ]

The key shifts are especially impressive.

Great one from a great album, Victor! He has been responsible for so many great songs. Thanks so much for this one. Best regards,

Thanks, Jim, good to hear from you.
