Neil Sedaka (born March 13, 1939) is an American pop/rock singer, pianist, composer and record producer. Since his music career began in 1957, he has sold millions of records as an artist and has written or co-written over 500 songs for himself and others, collaborating mostly with lyricists Howard Greenfield and Phil Cody.
Sedaka was born in Brooklyn, New York. His father, Mac Sedaka, was a taxi driver and a Sephardi Jew of Turkish origin ("Sedaka" and "Sadaka" are variants of "tzedakah", which translates in both Hebrew and Arabic as the word charity). Neil's mother, Eleanor (née Appel), was an Ashkenazi Jew of Polish/Russian origin. Neil's grandparents came to the United States from Constantinople, then the capital of Ottoman Turkey, in 1910. He grew up in Brighton Beach, on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. Sedaka is a cousin of the late singer Eydie Gormé.
He demonstrated musical aptitude in his second-grade choral class, and when his teacher sent a note home suggesting he take piano lessons, his mother took a part-time job in an Abraham & Straus department store for six months to pay for a second-hand upright. In 1947, he auditioned successfully for a piano scholarship to the Juilliard School of Music's Preparatory Division for Children, which he attended on Saturdays. His mother wanted him to become a renowned classical pianist like the contemporary of the day, Van Cliburn, but Sedaka was discovering pop music. When Sedaka was 13, a neighbor heard him playing and introduced him to her 16-year-old son, Howard Greenfield, an aspiring poet and lyricist. They became two of the legendary Brill Building's composers.
Rock with Neil Sedaka or just Neil Sedaka is the first major solo album of Neil Sedaka released in 1959 after two 1958 albums under the titles Neil Sedaka and The Tokens and Neil Sedaka and The Tokens and Coins. The album was released on RCA and was produced by Al Nevins. The album contains 12 songs, all of them co-written by Sedaka and his friend Howard Greenfield. Two of the songs became successful singles for Sedaka from the album, namely "The Diary", his debut single that was a hit, reaching No. 14 on the US Billboard charts, and "I Go Ape", a single that was relatively successful in the United States reaching No. 42, but did far better in the UK Singles Chart, making it up to No. 9 and his debut single in the United Kingdom.
All songs were composed by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield.
Steppin' Out or Stepping Out may refer to:
Steppin' Out! is the debut album by American saxophonist Harold Vick recorded in 1963 and released on the Blue Note label.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "There are no real surprises, but no disappointments either on what would be Harold Vick's only chance to lead a Blue Note date. At 27 he was already a fine player".
Steppin' Out is an album by Tony Bennett, released in 1993.
Backed by the Ralph Sharon Trio and themed as a tribute to Fred Astaire, the album continued Bennett's commercial comeback; like the previous year's Perfectly Frank, it achieved gold record status in the United States and in 1994 won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance.
A music video for "Steppin' Out with My Baby" garnered some MTV airplay; Bennett's newly found youthful audience would become even more apparent on his next outing.
As a follow up to the 1975 #1 hit single Neil Sedaka had with Elton John as back up on "Bad Blood", he had Elton sing on this title track to his 1976 Rocket Records release. It was not a hit single. Elton sure sounds enthusiastic though on his very classic 70s-Elton-sounding backing vocals! Too funny....
As heard on the 1978 Elektra/Polydor album "All You Need Is The Music".

You go where you want do what you please
Never let on, not even once, that you've ever been lonely
It's nice to see you alone
Are you looking for something maybe you ain't gettin' at home
Your hair is in place dressing to kill
Your old man has said that when he dies he will leave you his money
And the pool where you swim
Are you looking for something maybe you ain't gettin' from him
Chorus
Steppin' out, steppin' out, to get a little action on the side
Steppin' out, steppin' out, the day time queen takes a midnight ride
And it's plain as plain could be, you're a woman who wants to be free
So if you're steppin' out tonight honey, come on and step out with me
The party's a bore, it's bound to get worse
Let's slip out somewhere and engage in our own celebration
Let me pour you some wine
Are you thinking maybe baby your needs are the same as mine
Let's go for a walk, go for a ride,
Or maybe just stand here and think what we can do to eachother
No we don't have to dance
If you're thinking of stepping out, honey this is your chance
