I saw him last night in Clearwater Fla. (3-8-24) and at 82 he still has the ladies swooning! Outstanding entertainer who gets into the crowd and makes everyone feel welcome and happy they are there! I had NO idea just how many songs he wrote for so many people! " I did it My way" Frank Sinatra and the list goes on and on! GO SEE HIM if you can! :)
A sixteen-year-old genius. I was only four years old at this time. But loved him when I was a kid in the sixties. I loved Put Your Head on My Shoulder.
This was Paul's first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. Thank you so much for posting it! His second appearance, in which he also sang "Diana" has been a common video due to its inclusion in a "Best of Sullivan" show but this one is extremely rare, and I've always wanted to see it. Filmed at the 1958 Ice Capades. Please also post the Chordettes singing "Just Between You and Me" on this episode. Also, please post more '50's pop singers!
@@michaeltuz608 You're absolutely right! Princess Diana was born July 1st, 1961. Her son William and I share the same birth date just different years. My point is, the song is beautiful and it is fit for a "beautiful princess." 😊 👑
Always loved his voice, met him in Las Vegas in 1990 , one of his shows, and I danced with him, thought i was going to die ! He song lay your head on my shoulder!! Star struck 💫, almost forgot my husband was with me, 😂 ❤ he still was great !
Anka stated in his autobiography that the song was inspired by a girl named Diana Ayoub, whom he had met at his church and community events, and had developed a crush on.
Not only i but also so many listeners are deeply moved by paul ankas powerful sweet voice i like this song very much satoshi okano from kure city in hiroshima prefecture Japan
Tierna edad los 16 años. Pero conforme pasó el tiempo se puso mejor y mejor. Un artista que sin duda ha sabido cuidar su salud, su carrera y su respeto al público, aún vigente a sus 80 años ¡luciendo espectacular! Dios lo bendiga y lo aparte de todo mal.

Ed Sullivan must have thought that the fact Paul Anka was appearing for the first time on his show on exactly the same date as Elvis Presley's first had the year before, Sept 9, when ratings are highest as it is the start of the TV year, that he was going to break Elvis' record, not just because "Diana" was the Billboard #1 hit that same week.but because there were as well 4 million MORE TV homes in 1957 than there were in 1956. But that was not to be. Anka garnered a huge 48,100,000 viewers for Sullivan with a 41.1 rating and 15.1 million homes reached, against the humongous 60,710,000, 57.1 rating and 24 million homes reached by Presley the year before. The record was only broken by the Beatles on 9 February 1964, 73 million viewers, when there were the same number of networks, but 16 million MORE TV homes.
On December 21st 1969, Diana Ross and The Supremes performed their final song together as a group, the ironically entitled “Someday We'll Be Together.” When the ❤️🎺🎷🎸

Prompted to search this, having heard some of the backstory of the writing of the song and of Diana's passing, on the good ol' CBC. (Dec. 7/22) RIP Diana.
Paul was and still is one hell of a talent, although this sounds like a cute little song it's a total fucker to sing let me tell you, I sometimes add this one to my set when I do my shows and I only add it when I'm feeling in top form because that 3 step transition through the notes leading up to "Diana" is a killer, for a young lad of 16 to write this kinda song is an incredible feat that should never be underestimated
