I beg of you, don’t say goodbye. Can’t we give our love one more try? Come on, baby, let’s start anew. ‘Cause breaking up is hard to do. Ooh, breaking up is oh-so-hard…to do.

In 1975, when Sedaka’s back is kind of like return to the industry or to the Entertainment World album was released. Love Will Keep Us Together was on that album…which, of course, the Captain Tennille made famous and was written by Mr. Sadaka. And there was also a little ditty called Little Lovin’. A Little Lovin’. And like in 1985, 10 years after that album came out, I would perform that song as part of the warm-up for the audience when I was an NBC page.

So what I’d like to do... is do a little rendition of that now and, you know, see what happens. So picture it. NBC Studios, with all the audience from shows like The Tonight Show, was waiting to get in. So pages would, you know, keep them entertained one way or the other. So I would sing.

And here now are the lyrics to the song, which I now sing in the video above:

“Mama raised me to be a man. She told me, son, you better…understand. You gotta get in while the getting’s good and bring it back to the neighborhood. I swear I was there. Tell me why would I lie? I just want to say a little lovin’ goes a long, long way.

“Uncle Henry and Cousin Grace are used to weekend at our place. And Grace and I will go behind the barn. We almost burned the damn thing down. And I swear I was there. Tell me why would I lie? I just want to say a little lovin’ goes a long, long way.

“Oh, I need you loving just a little loving. I need you loving just a little loving. A little loving each and every day. A little loving goes a long, long way now. I need you loving just a little loving. I need you loving just a little loving. A little lovin,’ each and every day.”

“A little loving goes a long, long way.”

And there you go.

Thank you for the inspiration, Mr. Sedaka.

But we can bring a little light to our little corner of the world. And that’s really all I’m asking anybody who’s listening, watching, seeing, hearing, observing to do today. Just be the peace where you are. Let there be peace on earth. Yeah. And let it begin with you and me.

And there you go.

I hope you enjoy my “Life Review” video that was screened last October at my “Forever Young” Birthday Gala.

I am so very excited to share this radio interview with the great Peter King, now of CBS News Radio, then of WKLX Radio in my hometown of Rochester, NY.

There are a lot of firsts with this interview, which was recorded way back in 1992.

It was my first major radio interview.

My first major media interview, in general.

All for my first book, THE BEWITCHED BOOK, which ignited my career.

I so very much hope you enjoy this exclusive find, which cannot be heard anywhere else but on this podcast.

Blessings to All!

The song, “My Life,” by The Beatles, has always been one of my favorite songs, as it represents so very much how I feel about my dear friends, family, and colleagues.

And I was honored to perform it at my ‘Forever Young’ Birthday Gala held at The Castaway Restaurant in Burbank, CA, on October 9, 2025.

I hope you enjoy this video.
