"Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" is a song recorded by #NeilSedaka, co-written by Sedaka and #HowardGreenfield. Sedaka recorded this song twice, in 1962 and 1975, in two significantly different arrangements, and it is considered to be his #signatureSong. Between 1970 and 1975, it was a top-40 hit three separate times for three separate artists: #LennyWelch, #ThePartridgeFamily and Sedaka's second version.

"Solitaire" is a ballad written by #NeilSedaka and Phil Cody. Cody employs playing the card game of #solitaire as a metaphor for a man "who lost his love through his indifference"—"while life goes on around him everywhere he's playing solitaire". The song is perhaps best known via its rendition by the #Carpenters. Another version by #AndyWilliams reached number 4 in the #UKSinglesChart in 1973.
