"Oh! Carol" is an international hit written by American singer, songwriter and pianist #NeilSedaka and #HowardGreenfield in early 1959, and recorded by Sedaka. The song is noted for Sedaka's spoken recitation of the verse, the second time around. It was written explicitly as a #soundalike to other popular hit records of the era, after his previous single had sold so poorly that his record label threatened to drop him if his next record was not a hit.
