      He did not write "My way". It is a French song released in 1967 and was very popular there before Frank Sinatra started singing it in 1969. Paul Anka merely adpated the English version. He did however write many other popular songs

    Paul was 15 when his first hit "Diana" was released in 1957, "Put your head-on my shoulder" was released August of 1959, which both of these first 2 hits were also written by Paul. Paul went on to become a huge teen idol, wrote, hit after hit, not only for himself, and many many other artists. he had just turned 18, by a month when this song was released. Paul went on the have a long career as an adult, and remained a heart throb for the ladies. Paul is 80 today and will occasionally still perform in Vegas.

You could do them on a day Buddy Holly (That’ll be the day or Peggy Sue just to name a couple) Ritchie Valens (La Bamba or Donna) and JP “The Big Bopper” Richardson (Chantilly Lace) three great pioneers of rock who left us together and way to early.

As he got close to my mom and her boyfriend, he boyfriend said, out loud, he better not kiss my girls hand. And he didn't kiss her hand, he bent down and missed her on her cheek. Needless to say, that was the end of that date. I still love listening to him sing. God bless you!

    The record company that discovered Paul Anka label decided to release his Diana, a song Anka wrote for a girl he had a crush on back in Ottawa, Canada, as the artist's first single. Within weeks, the 16-year-old had the No. 1 song in the world.

    I've followed you guys for a while now, and your insight into music has grown tremendously. It's so easy to see the difference between your earliest and most recent videos. I thank both of you for letting us have front row seats on this journey. It gives us that grew up with this music so much joy to see someone hear it for the first time.

    Paul would have been 19. Wrote "My Way" (Sinatra's signature song), "Diana" so many more. He and Neil Sedaka were singer songwriters of the 50's and 60's. Johnny Mathis is iconic crooner from same time. Frankie Avalon and Bobby Rydell must hear from then as well.

    I grew up listening to Paul Anka; one of my mother’s favorites. This song came out her Junior year of high school.
    Paul Anka is a major player in the musical world. Composer, lyricist, producer then singer!

    Paul Anka is still performing today at 80 years young and sounds amazing for his age. He's had so many hit songs in his long career, not just the ones he recorded himself but the ones he wrote for so many others over the decades. One of my favorite song that he recorded is "A Steel Guitar & A Glass Of Wine", and I love the steel guitar here.

    Another legend to come out of Canada. Singer, songwriter, legend, he's behind so many classics... INCLUDING Frankie's "My Way" (which he wrote). He also wrote "She's a Lady" for Tom Jones, and he even penned the theme music for The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson! Some of his best include "Diana", "Lonely Boy", and "(You're) Having My Baby". He's 80 years young, and even appeared on The Masked Singer last year!

    I was in my late teens when we went to out San Diego County Fair. Paul was the headline stage show. After he allowed anyone that wanted a personal autograph to just come back stage. All my sisters were going wild as we got closer. Admittedly, so did I. Great Guy

  • @cathyhilder7977
    @cathyhilder7977 2 года назад +48

    80 and still going strong, born in 1941 in Ottawa Canada, Paul Anka started out very young with the hit "Diana" which sold millions of copies and set him up as a top teen idol with prolific songwriting abilities. He also appeared in several films, headlined a Vegas act, hosted TV variety shows and wrote hits for other singers like Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones. He rose to the top of the charts again with the 1974 duet "You're Having My Baby."
    I had suggested this song a while back when you were pregnant and although you have now had your little boy I still think you would enjoy this song. I would love to hear your reaction!
    Love from Canada :)

    Paul Anka was one of those songwriters in the Brill Building in New York with Neil Sedaka and so many others who wrote hundreds of hits for all kinds of artists. They called it "Tin Pan Alley." By the way, Paul Anka wrote "My Way" for Frank Sinatra. Must listen.

    Paul Anka had a major career comeback in the 1970’s. My favorite of his from that era is “Times of Our Lives”.
    The opening lines are, “Good morning, yesterday, you wake up and time and has slipped away…”
    Gets me every single time…

    Probably the first Paul Anka song I ever heard was when Donny Osmond covered Puppy Love. (Donny released it in 1972, but Paul Anka wrote and released it in 1959). Sweet song. Both of them sang it well.

    Have not heard Paul Anka in years. He is from my home town of Ottawa Ontario Canada. He was a big deal here for a long time. Major street by the airport named after him Paul Anka Drive. He has lived in the States for like 50 years but always had time too throw his cash or time behind causes here. Paul Anka carried some major pull in my city and was all for the good. Personally he is not my thing musically but the man has major respect from me. Thanks for this one. Peace

    If you notice, most of the crooners are not conventionally “attractive”. Yet, as soon as they open their mouths you can totally understand why they were surrounded by adoring women. It’s an interesting phenomenon to me.
    Paul Anka has a very deep catalog, so Jordan, he could keep you busy for a while! Great reaction guys.

I was a pre-teen when I first heard him sing this song. You need play Neil Sedaka music. He's another awesome singer from the 50's and 60's. Love their music! ❤❤❤

Amzingly humble man, loves his fans, great voice still. True talent and old school gentleman. Beautiful music. He also sang the song This is it. Dedicated to Michael Jackson which he wrote for him.
