I found this on "Wiki...:"
On an "I've Got a Secret" episode in 1965, Sedaka's secret was that he
was set to represent the United States in classical piano at the
Tchaikovsky competition in Moscow. Sedaka even flawlessly played a
classical piece ("Fantasy Impromptu") on the game show itself.
Panelist Henry Morgan made a point that the Russians, at least the
older ones, literally hated rock and roll music. Ironically, Sedaka's
participation in the competition, which Van Cliburn had won in 1958,
was soon cancelled by the USSR because of Sedaka's rock and roll music
ties.[
Neil Sedaka? Could it be?
Someone should have informed Steve Allen, who always acted like he
knew everything and those who didn't were ignoramuses, that Russia is
in Asia.
