I always loved the cheeky smile and way Paul Anka spoke, also the fun he would have with other singers of the earlier years like Bobby Darin, Franky Avalon and Pat Boone on camera during a show..... Wonderful times, as he says technology so different today than back then.... This is a talented man still doing his thing of entertaining his fans and wishing some of his friends were still around..... Keep on singing up a storm Paul, still love YOU !
I have been watching him on old Password shows. He was so smart!!! and charming. They mentioned that he wrote the theme song to The Tonight Show for Johnny Carson. He wrote hundreds and hundreds of huge hits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite episodes of the original PASSWORD are when Paul Anka is on the show. He's very intelligent and expertly plays the game! Search for "PASSWORD" and you will find him. I have subscribed to the channel.
I didn’t discover Anka til the 70s. I was around when he came out but didn’t appreciate his music til an oldies station played “ Put Your Head on my Shoulder “ , I then discovered how talented he was. I bought the oldies greatest hits and his records there on. My favorite is “ Having My Baby “ ! Funny, I didn’t appreciate Brenda Lee either til I bought her lp “;Memphis Potrait “ and then bought all her records, prior and following ! The British Invasionmisled me in that time, now very lirttle of that invasion in still like ! It was over hyped !
Correction Paul - Elvis wasn't a great artist - he was simply the best! As good as Mr. Anka was/is - he was like every other great artist - there was them and there was Elvis. Arguably, Elvis had the highest level of talent, charisma, and attractiveness than any entertainer . . . ever. To date, no entertainer has ever been as remembered, revered, and just plain missed after their death as has been the case with Elvis.
@@MetFan37 Paul has a democratic right to reject the sexual lifestyle of men who choose to sleep with other men, or women who choose to sleep with other women. Now if you are gonna call Paul a homophobe then gay people can be called heterophobes for the exact same reason. They reject the lifestyle of straight people who choose to sleep with the opposite sex.
I met him in the 80’s he flew into my hometown I worked for the airlines , friends were having me a birthday party in the cafe at the airport he came in gave me a birthday kiss I will never forget it
Heard him in a live show at Harrah's Casino at Lake Tahoe. He was fabulous. First part of the show he wore an exquisite navy blue suit with a white dress shirt. Later switched into jeans, same white shirt and loafers. I was drooling! Class act. He sang every hit; performed over 2 hours. I will never forget this. What a legend.
I always thought that I would only adore the teen Paul Anka. Tthis video showed how charming he is even now... His voice and face reminds me of him in the 60s and I LOVE it
Paul anka es un verdadero cantante nunca igualado a los cantantes babosos del 2020 ni en español ni inglés. Es un gran compositor uno de los grandes que quedan con lo mejor de la música de todos los tiempos.
Paul Anka vs Justin Beiber? Common guys there is no comparison! Let's put it this way had Justin Beiber been born back then, sorry he will have to find another job. Those were the times when singers have a distinct voice talent, not all these theatrical, circus, noise that muffles the voice now a days. Those days you know it's Tom Jones, you know it's Paul Anka, or it's Englebert Humperdink. Gone are those days! Even the song writers and composers they too deserve the credit with meaningful lyrics and outstanding melody not like today's croppy, jumbled, nonsense songs.
I GREW UP WITH ANKA´S SONGS AND I´M STILL SINGING THOSE ON MY KARAOKE EQUIPMENT. "TIME TO CRY" MY FAVORITE ONE. GREETINGS FOR ALL. AND GOD BLESS AMERICA(USA)!!!!!!!!!!
Paul has been great from the first moment he started, has been original and a talent with such a very good taste wich comes from inside the person. So I really congratulate his work and surrender during all this years. Happy birthday and God bless you more every day.
The first and the youngest singer, writer, and composer ever we have in this planet, and the greatest of all time. Living healthy & clean life. My idol.
Ok Canadian ,alright , but please drop this Justin B compare to Paul Anka Paul had class talent and certain charisma , this Justin guy is full,of it I think comparing these two is an insult to Paul Justin can not even survive a week of Paul Anka,S life back in time when he was with rathpack
Paul was Definitely a Man amongst boys in the Pop Genre before RU-vid,n Facebook n social media struck! Back then where everyone had to make a name for themselves performing on the streets, bus stations n at any event they can get their foot into the doors with. What a Legend and Pioneer this Man is! We r very Fortunate n Blessed to still have him around n see how Amazing n Down to Earth he is!! Thank u for all the Great Memories and Times u have shown us all Paul.
Justin beiber is just a shallow marketing retard who didnt make his own music, had everything written and done for him. Cringy to the point its painfull to watch him, and has shit music ontop of it.
Was 12 years old when I fell in love with Paul Anka when he first appeared on Bandstand when it was still a local (Philadelphia) show. My first live rock and roll concert was a few years later - Paul Anka at the DelMar (Calif) racetrack. Have been to many concerts in my 75 years, but his stands out in my memory. It was outdoors and he did encore, after encore, after encore. Had to shed his suit coat because it was so hot, but he never gave up. Who wouldn't appreciate that kind of effort!? Will now buy his book!
Wow such a kind words I love you 😘 most,thanks so much for kind words and thanks for your lovely and support.I’m blown away by the love fans like you are the reason we keep moving forward
When I would go to the junior highschool dances on Saturday night, my favorite song to dance to was "Put your head on my shoulder". Just loved it. Great great singer. Nice guy.
@@paulankatv1096 I know your song, puppy love was written for Annette funicello. Was put your head on my shoulders also written for her, too? From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Paul Anka not only a great talent but a brilliant business man must’ve been amazing living Paul’s life and growing up in that area I hope u know u r very blessed. Love u Paul Anka
Paul Anka Cantante Canadiense Tiene Cantando Desde El Año 1958Viendo Por Internet Y También Vídeos De Sus Actuaciones EN Chile Y Otros Países Demuestra Una Sencillez Porque Siempre Se Acerca Al Público Y Les Da La Mano Esto Demuestra Lo Que Algunos No Son Como Paul Anka
Since the beginning was a fan and now STILL i love his music and his persona. In Atlanta I saw / watched him perform @ Chastain Park Amphitheatre. A birthday party that i will never forget! What a performer!
This was awesome.. This is the kind of music I listened to when I was a kid.. I cried when Elvis, Bing, Dino and Frank all Passed away .. I still have albums that are 78's, that is the speed you play them on, just to clarify not the year...
I grew up a block from the Anka house in Ottawa in the 60s and went to school with Andy Anka. We would crawl under the porch to listen to Paul writing songs in the basement. Who knew??
@@Bogie3855 Hi, I knew Paul's dad, Andy in Toronto years ago. So I guess the "Andy" you went to school with was Paul's brother? Google never mentioned the names of brother and sister. Maybe they kept their lives private from his. I've loved Paul's music for decades! Still do. Even later on, his "Jazz Swings" album. Now gotta get that book!
Paul Anka pulled me out of the audience during a performance in Vegas decades ago and sang to me. My husband took several pictures. When he let my hand go, I covered my face and squealed. The audience laughed at me. That experience has always been so special! He is an amazing entertainer.
I had to laugh when he said Elvis liked to put foil up on his windows and slept all day. Well, my neighbor does the same thing. So I guess doing that is not that unusual lol.
Dear Paul, I'm glad that you made it your way. Remembering, when we meet across from your dad's delicatessen in the playing ground at Fisher Park High, Ottawa when our dad's were conducting business. Glad to have had the opportunity to have heard you singing Dianna in the mirror that day before your success in show business. Regards Ron P

Never but never compare Paul Anka with Justin bieber...Paul is the best, in talent and personality and mentally stable in his life. Even when he was a young teenager..
Mi primer ídolo, cuando mi papá me trajo el primer disco de Paul Anka con Diana, Put your head on mi shoulder etc. Tenía 12 años , ahora tengo 74 y sigo disfrutando y soñando con sus creaciones!!!
This great legendary songwriter singer compare to some, immoral degenerate and no artistic classical talent like him: to one of the greatest artist of all time?
lina Suhanto Why bring Justin into the comments? It was about Paul Anka. Justin is in a different age in music than Paul, he is still a good Artist, and a good Canadian🇨🇦❤️
I saw Paul perform at Jupiter’s Casino in Queensland’ Australia, he was brilliant ! Had no idea how many songs he wrote ! What a gift he has been to the music industry
Pauls's parents were both Lebanese and his first wife Anne De Zughab was Lebanese as well, her father was a well-known Lebanese diplomat called Charles De Zughab.
