The 1960 hit single "Stairway to Heaven", by pop singer Neil Sedaka, peaked at #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and did well in Europe. It was his second major vocal hit following "Oh! Carol" in 1958 which helped solidify his music career and turn out a flow of hits between 1960 and 1962. Sedaka has sold millions of records as an artist and has written or co-written and produced over 500 songs for himself and others. In 1976 he won no less than five BMI awards and Song Of The Year for "Love Will Keep Us Together". He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in 2007. The classically trained Sedaka broke new ground when his first symphonic piece, Joie De Vivre, was performed by the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra in 2007. Also, the musical Laughter In The Rain, based on Neil Sedaka's life and songs, premiered in 2010 at the Churchill Theatre in Britain.
