The Diary (song)
"The Diary" is a song by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield. It was released in 1958 as Sedaka's debut single.
Background
This song's writers, Sedaka and Howard Greenfield, had originally written this song for Little Anthony & The Imperials. (It had a very similar sound to that group's first hit, "Tears on My Pillow") The pair took the song to George Goldner, The Imperials' producer, over at End Records, who, although having the group record and release the song as End Records single, End 1038, felt that it wasn't quite done the way they felt it should have been done. The Imperials' version didn't chart, so Sedaka took it and decided that he should record the song himself. "The Diary" was issued on Sedaka's 1959 first solo album Rock with Sedaka on RCA. It was reissued on his 1961 record Neil Sedaka Sings Little Devil and His Other Hits, and again in 1963 on the album Neil Sedaka Sings His Greatest Hits.
Reception
Sedaka's version became his very first hit. The single reached No. 14 on the US Billboard chart.
The Diary (You Think You Know)
The Diary (You Think You Know) is the second unreleased album by American rapper, Charli Baltimore. The album was to be her official solo debut album (after the cancellation of her other album, Cold as Ice), it was also expected to be Charli's big comeback. The album spawned a total of five buzz singles but none of them managed to chart. Because of the lack of charting performance from her singles and with no promotion from her label, the album was shelved.
Background & Recording
After striking a deal with Murder Inc. Records CEO Irv Gotti, Charli began recording the album in 2001 under the label. Most of the material from the album was recorded in Soundtrack Studios, Manhattan, New York City.
During recording sessions, former labelmates claimed that Charli would have numerous songs completed and the quantity of them would be more than what producers, Irv Gotti and Chink Santana would have instrumental beats finished for her. At one point, a rumored power outage occurred at the studio, where she and producers were working at, and shortly after the shenanigan was resolved, Charli had recorded a total of 12 songs within that same night.
