Neil Sedaka’s first US Top 10 hit from 1959. It reached #1 on the Italy and Israel top charts..
The song was written for his high school classmate Carole King whom he has dated (or not – depends on the version one reads).
Another class member was Neil Diamond.
The song was written “to become a hit...
Oh! Carol, I am but a fool
Darling, I love you, though you treat me cruel
You hurt me and you make me cry
But if you leave me, I will surely die
Darling, there will never be another
Cause I love you so
Don't ever leave me, say you'll never go
I will always want you for my sweetheart
No matter what you do
Oh! Carol, I'm so in love with you
Oh! Carol, I am but a fool
Darling, I love you, though you treat me cruel
You hurt me and you make me cry
But if you leave me, I will surely die
Darling, there will never be another
Cause I love you so
Don't ever leave me, say you'll never go
I will always want you for my sweetheart
No matter what you do
Oh! Carol, I'm so in love with you
Oh! Carol was written by Howard Greenfield & Neil Sedaka.
Whose name – Sedaka (“charity” in Hebrew), or “Carol” – Carole King?
For the latter – see the song bio.
