Primary Wave Acquires Neil Sedaka Catalog


Neil Sedaka's catalog sale to Primary Wave includes songs like "Love Will Keep Us Together," "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" and "Laughter in the Rain."

During the height of the British Invasion, he continued to hone a strong fanbase in the UK, and in the early 1970s was re-introduced to American audiences by Elton John, who signed Sedaka to his new label Rocket Records. A classically trained Juilliard graduate, Sedaka embraced his roots in the 21 st century, composing symphonies and piano concertos like “Joie De Vivre” and “Manhattan Intermezzo,” both of which were recorded with the Philharmonia Orchestra of London. Primary Wave, known as an active and creative catalog buyer and publisher, will help boost Sedaka’s works with the help of its in-house marketing, digital strategy, licensing, synch and film/tv production teams.
