    He’s currently 79 years old, I’m thinking he was about 18 here. This was I believe his second big hit, Hey Paula What’s his first. He’s nine years older than me. This music is what I grew up.
    Went on to do some very great things, writing for other performers as well as doing his own thing.
    He wrote the song “My way” which Frank Sinatra made big. Paul Anka is also from Canada.

      @@timvine6441 You're correct. The melody is credited to a French composer named Claude François. However, speaking of melodies, Paul Anka was the composer of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show theme. Johnny himself is listed as co-composer, but all he contributed was that brief drum riff that opens the theme. It's said that that every time the theme was played on air, Anka received 200 dollars. That adds up to a lot of meatballs.

    This young fella (born in 1941) from Ottawa, Ontario, first major hit was at the age of 16, with *"Diana",* and he never looked back
    Writing hit after hit, for himself, and others.(By the time he was 18, he had five, top 5, hits himself)
    He's probably written many songs you've enjoyed, maybe even the likes of; *"Lonely Boy",* *"Too Good To Be True(I Love You Baby)",* *"Put Your Head On My Shoulder"* (of course...lol), *"Having My Baby",* up to ones like; *"My Way"* for Frank Sinatra, a *Puppy Love"* Donny Osmond, He even wrote the theme song for Johnny Carson and *The Tonight Show*
    Add to that all the *co-writing* credits with his name, with the likes of *David Foster,* *"Michael McDonald",* and *"Michael Jackson",* just to name a few.
    I look forward to you checking out more tunes from this singer/songwriter/actor....legend. :-)

    This was more, reserved time. Public songs, words and actions were G rated. It was a time when adults realized concepts presented to children had a profound affect on them. The right subject matter for the maturity level. This was a time that kids were really allowed to be kids, and they were given training, expectations and accountability.

    Paul Anka. One of the best of the all time crooners...This clip is from around 1959. When this tune was released, Anka was barely 18 years old. He wrote all of his own songs as well. He even wrote The Tonight Show's theme song for Johnny Carson...Another crooner you should look into is Bobby Darin...

    Jamel: You should check out another song of his titled "Diana". It was a true to life story about Paul Anka, who was 14 at the time, and his crush: a "much older" girl (she was 19) who was his younger brother's babysitter. It's a good song.
