I was thinking Neil Sedaka as well but I think the Carpenters might have done a cover of it too.------which they did in 1975.

People came from miles around, everyone was there,
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air.
And over in the corner, much to my surprise,
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise.


A few clues----the first US teen idol to use TV to promote hit records and from '57-'62, only Elvis had more Top 40  hits than he had.

Sorry Shaun;  '57--'62 The Beatles were still gigging around England with an excursion to Germany. This one is American and generally would be considered a solo performer though other musicians backing him. I think this song was a hit for him about 1973, or thereabouts.

Not a bad guess James and of a similar era of hits; but Paul Anka was Canadian, from Ottawa I believe.
