I worked as a recording engineer in Las Vegas and often recorded Paul Anika's demos of his new songs. I was struck by his ability to come up with entire sets of lyrics on the fly. He is an incredible songwriter. This was in the seventies and being the seventies he would also bring the best weed to the studio.
He was terrific. I grew up loving his music, watching him on Band Stand, etc. I love the 40's, 50's, 60's music and softer music. God bless him and his music/talent.
I was sittng in a diner on a cold rainy day, a few hours after getting laid off from my job when this song came on, and I burst into tears. It made me think of my dad who died five months before. I could her him singing along to the record. It was a lousy day, but as much as I missed him, it felt good to have such a powerful reminder of him . Then the waitress was really sweet and gave me a free cup of tea.
Paul Anka's songs talked to my heart when I was in my teens in the 50's. My girlfried, by then, introduced me to his songs and I bought his first L.P. sInce then I followed him. Later came Neil Sedaka. Those were my years and bring me memories when I was young.
Anka was/is a true hero in the music word. He did what he had to and is an example of what hard work can do in addition to having talent. I'd suspect it was not easy and it is a credit to him that he seems not to have hurt or denigrated anyone else in the process. In all the years no negative stories ever came about.
He wrote about 200 songs before the age of 21. Amazing. -- but when The Beatles hit the scene -- Paul Anka was history -- but the older people still liked his music.
The absolute best show & performance we ever saw was in the 90’s at the Hilton in Las Vegas. Paul Anka captured his audience & didn’t release us for nearly 2 hours. It was amazing & memorable.
The year 1960: At the age of 18 and a recent high school graduate, I went to work as a busboy in the Garden Room at the Sands Hotel. This was my summer job since I was 15 years old and I had become accustomed being around big name performers. However, In the summer of 1960 I was working the dinner shift in the Garden Room. Around 11 O' clock I was instructed to take the golf cart and go to a certain room number and pick up the dinner dishes. I drove the cart into the hallway and found the room that I was suppose to pick up the dishes. When I got there, the door to the room was open and a man stood in the doorway and was talking to someone inside. The man left and the door was open so I carried my tray into the room. I told the young guy, I was here to pick up his dishes. I knew Paul Anka was performing in the Copa Room, but I was still surprised it was his room. I went directly to the table to retrieve the dishes. Paul Anka standing in his bathrobe was listening to an LP. The record was playing big band music that was still popular for the older generation. He started up a conversation with me and asked my opinion of the music. He said he liked the arrangement and mentioned the composers name. I had no idea what he was talking about and just said that it sound good. I started to walk pass him with the tray of dishes and he reached into his bathrobe for tip money. As I started to leave his room, his manager entered. Paul asked his manager if he had any money and he said no. The last thing I heard Paul Anka say was " I get you later. " We were about the same age, but now I think of the enormous amount of pressure Paul Anka had to be under as a performer at the Sands. The Copa Room was big time entertainment.
I think he is sadly underrated or put into some oldies type category. I've heard him do modern and punchy stuff that stands up. Currently I live in the Czech Republic and even now they all remember Diana; there are even versions in Czech. One singer I know - Sarka sings it and she makes me sing the harmony in Czech. :)
In the mid 70s, I casted him as a lead actor in a book report. My mother shook her head in disbelief and wanted me to change that part. The reason I used him because the book character was Canadian and would have been born approximately 1940. I opened up a World Almanac and scrolled down the "Noted Personalities" I didn't even have to get past the A's to find Paul Anka fitting the bill. It kind of showed what a lazy, albeit resourceful teen I was. Years later, I'd find old movies with Paul Anka in an acting role just to say "I told you so" to my mother.
I once read that he was paid several thousand dollars every time the Johnny Carson theme song, which he wrote, was played. That was over 7800 episodes, and it was played twice a show. He's probably still getting paid from reruns.
A nice Canadian boy from our nation's capital, Ottawa. His parents were immigrants - his mother from Lebanon and his father from Syria. His father owned a popular ethnic restaurant in Ottawa. He's spent most of his career in the US, but we're still extremely proud of him. He became an American citizen because being burden of being responsible for paying taxes in two countries is crushing.
My respect for Paul Anka dropped a bit when I learned that he tried to talk Elvis out of recording, or singing "MY WAY." His excuse was that the song was written exclusively for Sinatra. He apparently thought that only Sinatra did the song justice. I got news for him. There has been a few surveys that all show that most people did the song much better than Frank. For me, Elvis gave the song feeling and way better than Frank's rendition.
I used to like him before but since the divorce his first marriage to that mother of five children I totally disliked him sorry folks to those love him. His passed away recently Anne. May she Rest In Peace 🙏❤️Thanks for sharing!
WOW! Quite a go getter! Amazing person. Some tough times too. Sad about the loss of his mom at such a young age. Losing a mother is very devastating for a young person 😢😢
According to Annette Funacello they had dated for a while. What broke them up is that he was focused on his career and she wanted to get married and have a home life. Anka was reported to have written "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" for Annette.
My goodness what talent he has. One just has to admire him and his never giving up to continue and further his curiere. Of course, his good looks also helped.
Paul anka ...captured the public with his quality & extraordinarily talent as singer & song writer just to mention few by the way crazy love / Diana e t c.his expression is still present because delivers with clarity of what still loved to heard even after all these years have passed for my generation is timeless because he find the way to come through his message in his best song MY WAY he expressed it because he hit it hard & solidly & reached the heard of millions around the globe but it was not for him to sing it because as soon as big boss frank finds out immediately was selected by him to sing it & who can dared to say to the boss the word NO???no means will suck paul anka out of music industry just with a phone call just like that in a split of second any way can still heard his songs even today he made his point & is great ...
Very talented singer songwriter, was he 16 when Diana came out? Wrote hit songs for a number of singers including Buddy Holly, Annette Funciello, And Tom Jones. One of my granddaughters likes his song, “Put Your Head On My Shoulder.” I don’t know what kind of a person he was. I don’t know if he is in the Rock n Roll hall of fame, but if he isn’t, I think he should be. Check out Mary Lou by The Creative Force, Amazing!

I took a music publishing class in Hollywood about 1980 & learned the importance of keeping ownership of your songs - Anka was the best example - He wrote the Tonight Show theme & to get it accepted, split ownership with Carson & each received about $400 per night for 30 years - In contrast Willie Nelson wrote "The Family Bible", The most recorded gospel song of all time & sold it for $25
He did not write " My way " The song,written by two French artists ( Claud Francois and another ) was already in existence. Anka was the third person to put English lyrics to the tune ( David Bowie was the second ) Anka was later sued by the original writers and paid out a lot of money .Sinatra stopped using it as his end of show song when he resumed his career in 1973.He said it was trite and too self indulgent.
Sinatra sang "MY Way" thousands of times after 1973. Sinatra many times during his concerts credited Anka with writing "My Way" Sinatra said he hated that song but he still sang it in concert, but not every concert. He got sick of singing it thousands of times over the years. I've been a Sinatra fan for 40 years.
@@jeremyhoke1782 I thought the first version broadcast was sung by Claud Francois and the music was by Jaques Revaux .It was first called Comme D'Habitude( as usual ).
I had older sisters when Paul was hot my sisters would just daydream and swum over him even my parents like him cas they loved Frank that big band music 🎼 Paul was a Big deal in that day cute , puppy love 💕 WOW 💗great days🎶
I was under the impression that the music to My Way was written by Claude Francois and Jacques Revaux and performed in France by Claude Francois in 1967. I believe it was also recorded before Sinatra. The truth I understand is that he rewrote the lyrics.
The song my way was not written by paul anka ,it was already written by claude francois and two other french writers it was called Comme habitude you can listen to it on youtube ,he played it in our music publishing office in denmark street in the sixties ,i think paul anka changed the lyric he really should tell the truth and give a bit of credit to the other writers of the song as the public think he is the only one who .wrote My Way
I think he's the only old school crooner left. But it's interesting how the fact that he did not write the music for My Way doesn't get discussed much.
I was never a fan of rock music, but I turned on American Bandstand like everybody else in the late 50s. I remember when Paul Anka had a nose job, and that was considered very controversial at that time.
True fact: What became known as "My way" used the music of a hit French song from 1968. The first person to write English lyrics to it was David Bowie. Alas his lyrics didn't hold up to Anka's epic ones.
I must admit though i know some of his songs - (who does not know My Way?) I did not know the name or that he was a singer song writer. I only heard the name on Gilmore Girls which i never saw until this last month, where the lead character Lorelai named her dog Paul Anka and the man appeared for a of non speaking scene. But then i am not American So i had to find out who he was.
A bit of a fluff piece. It mostly avoids the dark, dark side of his personality. It also fails to mention that he didn't not write the music for My Way, just the lyrics.
What untold truths exactly were revealed in this clip? Seems like standard biographical fodder about a pretty talented guy who avoided the vicissitudes and vices that most celebrities succumb to: he lives into his 80s, no sexual assault accusations, no drug overdoses, no entanglements with the law, no physical fights with other people, no drunk driving incidents...
What about the untold truth of Adam faith cliff Richards any body English this is England and does people still remember him or even want to had one hit as far as I can remember the Beatles Tommy Steele why this guy
A great singer and songwriter, but he treated his first wife, a classy woman and devoted mother, very shabbily. He basically left her for a woman half his age who turned out to be a cheap manipulator whom he soon divorced. The first wife has since passed away, and Paul now has a third wife.
What are your thoughts on Paul Anka?
Love him even more.
Massive ego .........minimal talent !
He must have had a good plastic surgeon. The nose job worked and made him better-looking without destroying his whole face.
He was my teenage Heart throb growing up. My favorite singer.
Brilliant songwriter and a fabulous entertainer… so-so singer.
I worked as a recording engineer in Las Vegas and often recorded Paul Anika's demos of his new songs. I was struck by his ability to come up with entire sets of lyrics on the fly. He is an incredible songwriter. This was in the seventies and being the seventies he would also bring the best weed to the studio.
Hahaha!!
He was terrific. I grew up loving his music, watching him on Band Stand, etc. I love the 40's, 50's, 60's music and softer music. God bless him and his music/talent.
I am more into hard rock like Led Zeppelin, but I still love Paul Anka.
I grew up loving his music too!
Paul Anka was already a star as a teenager! We already loved him in my high school years!
I was sittng in a diner on a cold rainy day, a few hours after getting laid off from my job when this song came on, and I burst into tears. It made me think of my dad who died five months before. I could her him singing along to the record. It was a lousy day, but as much as I missed him, it felt good to have such a powerful reminder of him . Then the waitress was really sweet and gave me a free cup of tea.

I'm a '97 baby anf I love his music. I grew up listening to his songs and others as well. Filipinos actually love him.

And Paul Anka is younger than both Ringo Starr and John Lennon.
Sad to hear the battle Paul Anke had to be recognized as an Artist. I thought he was a great artist.
I’ve been binge watching “ Password “ and he was kind of like a regular on the show he was very good at it and he’s so handsome .
I was young back then and I loved his music
The absolute best show & performance we ever saw was in the 90’s at the Hilton in Las Vegas. Paul Anka captured his audience & didn’t release us for nearly 2 hours. It was amazing & memorable.

Paul Anka is an amazing writer and a very talented and loving ❤ He should have received more career advantages! 👌
WANDEFULL i see Mr Anka in Osaka Japan concert. People love his voice. Thank you very much for sharing video 📹.
I once read that he was paid several thousand dollars every time the Johnny Carson theme song, which he wrote, was played. That was over 7800 episodes, and it was played twice a show. He's probably still getting paid from reruns.
Paul gets 1/2 royalties on that song. Johnny Carson's Estate gets the other 1/2.
To get it accepted, he shared ownership & credit with Carson & they each received about $400 per night for 30 years
I am always in tears everytime i hear any of his songs so did my brother
Paul Anka is an amazing writer and so well spoken person.

A dear friend & mentor, Sam Clark - at ABC - was Anka's manager. My dealings with Sam was around a screenplay I wrote in 1973...
WOW! Quite a go getter! Amazing person. Some tough times too. Sad about the loss of his mom at such a young age. Losing a mother is very devastating for a young person 😢😢
To me the most amazing thing about him was headlining at the Copa at 17 and killing it!
Another great Canadian!
Lebanese descent
@@khalidfazil6209 Syrian
@Michelle just checked with Wiki.Apparently,both parents were Lebanese,although the father came from Syria to Canada,therefore,I was incorrect.
He wrote and sang my Mom's favorite song ! "Times of your life".
Thank You Mr.Anka. 👍

Paul anca is a legend your songs are so classic and so much inspirational for us
I love the videos on these old world icons, so underappreciated, it's good to see some attention brought back to them
My goodness what talent he has. One just has to admire him and his never giving up to continue and further his curiere. Of course, his good looks also helped.
I remember his show "Anka," I was 9 or 10. I loved that show.
Omg he was gorgeous in his younger days!
Big huge nose
Before, or after the nose job?
Cudowny Artysta...brawo Paul...👏💖
Why do some people like to bad mouth famous people? Music is the great equalizer. It's the one thing people agree on, and enjoy.

correct.
The original French version of My Way was sung by female French pop singer, France Gall. The lyrics had a completely different meaning.
@@jeremyhoke1782 I thought the first version broadcast was sung by Claud Francois and the music was by Jaques Revaux .It was first called Comme D'Habitude( as usual ).
You are absolutely right. Claude Francois and another writer wrote My Way. Claude François hated him, because he took the credit for it.
I adore Paul Anka!
Totally awesome 👌

Beautiful song, My Way…
I was never a fan of rock music, but I turned on American Bandstand like everybody else in the late 50s. I remember when Paul Anka had a nose job, and that was considered very controversial at that time.
You never speak of his relationship with Annette Funicello. She was a big part of his teenage years.
I believe he wrote one of the songs Tom Jones recorded..."She's a Lady."
True fact: What became known as "My way" used the music of a hit French song from 1968. The first person to write English lyrics to it was David Bowie. Alas his lyrics didn't hold up to Anka's epic ones.
Bowie's may not have been gold, but if not for his failure, we wouldn't have 'Life on Mars?'
I must admit though i know some of his songs - (who does not know My Way?) I did not know the name or that he was a singer song writer. I only heard the name on Gilmore Girls which i never saw until this last month, where the lead character Lorelai named her dog Paul Anka and the man appeared for a of non speaking scene.
But then i am not American
So i had to find out who he was.
Bravo Paul Anka
As an eight year old at the time I thought he was so good!
Yikes he’s 80 now !
I loved his Kodak commercial song
Very special. Gentelmen,
The will to go on is the name of the game..!
A bit of a fluff piece. It mostly avoids the dark, dark side of his personality. It also fails to mention that he didn't not write the music for My Way, just the lyrics.

I was a fan until I heard his comment about Our Lord Jesus Christ. Blasphemy! Good Bye Anka.

The Beatles were much better. Their success proves that
@@4june9140 still couldn't shine his shoes.
Goddess Diana
I like his music. Even that song that’s in Spanish
I worked in Pauls house remodeling. When i first meet him he was in a speedo.
His mother died in 59. Not 61. She died when he was only 18. Not 20.
I saw him perform at Freedomland. Nothing special.
That was about 55 years ago. I would gladly pay to see him again if he were to return to Portland for a show.
Pense que era Vince McMahon
More than eleven minutes of video and not even the slightest mention of the person who wrote the MUSIC for "My Way"...... Absolutely shameful.
That, "I'm more important than Jesus", remark made me loose a lot of respect for him.
I did it my way

A great singer and songwriter, but he treated his first wife, a classy woman and devoted mother, very shabbily. He basically left her for a woman half his age who turned out to be a cheap manipulator whom he soon divorced. The first wife has since passed away, and Paul now has a third wife.
