Paul Anka

biography:
Paul Albert Anka (born July 30, 1941) is a Canadian-American singer, songwriter and actor. He is best known for his signature hit songs including "Diana", "Lonely Boy", "Put Your Head on My Shoulder", and "(You're) Having My Baby". Anka also wrote the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson; one of Tom Jones' biggest hits, "She's a Lady"; and the English lyrics to Claude François and Jacques Revaux's music for Frank Sinatra's signature song "My Way", which has been recorded by many, including Elvis Presley. He co-wrote three songs with Michael Jackson: "This Is It" (originally titled "I Never Heard") "Love Never Felt So Good", and "Don't Matter to Me", which became posthumous hits for Jackson in 2009, 2014, and 2018, respectively.

Anka was born in Ottawa, Ontario, to Camelia (née Tannis) and Andrew Emile "Andy" Anka Sr., who owned a restaurant called the Locanda. His parents were both of Lebanese descent. His father came to Canada from Bab Tuma, Damascus, Syria, and his mother was an immigrant from Lebanon. His mother died when he was 18.

Anka sang with the St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral choir under the direction of Frederick Karam, with whom he studied music theory. He studied piano with Winnifred Rees. He attended Fisher Park High School, where he was part of a vocal trio called the Bobby Soxers.

Paul Anka recorded his first single, "I Confess", when he was 14. In 1956, with $100 given to him by his uncle, he went to New York City where he auditioned for Don Costa at ABC Records, singing what was widely believed to be a lovestruck verse he had written to a former babysitter. In an interview with NPR's Terry Gross in 2005, he stated that it was to a girl at his church whom he hardly knew. The resulting song "Diana" brought Anka stardom as it went to No. 1 on the Canadian and US music charts. "Diana" is one of the best selling singles ever by a Canadian recording artist. He followed up with four songs that made it into the Top 20 in 1958, including "It's Time to Cry", which hit No. 4 and "(All of a Sudden) My Heart Sings", which reached No. 15, making him (at 17) one of the biggest teen idols of the time. He toured Britain, then Australia with Buddy Holly. Anka also wrote "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" – a song written for Holly, which Holly recorded just before he died in 1959. Anka stated shortly afterward: "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" has a tragic irony about it now, but at least it will help look after Buddy Holly's family. I'm giving my composer's royalty to his widow – it's the least I can do." ...

Français

biography:
Paul Anka, né le 30 juillet 1941 à Ottawa, est un auteur-compositeur-interprète canado-américain d'origine syro-libanaise.

Il est notamment connu pour l'écriture des paroles de My Way, adaptation en anglais du titre Comme d'habitude de Jacques Revaux et Claude François. Il est le premier interprète anglophone de cette version, qui sort en 1969, et qui est popularisée la même année par Frank Sinatra avant d'être reprise par de nombreux artistes.

Paul Anka naît au Canada de parents syro-libanais; son père vient de Bab Touma, quartier chrétien à Damas en Syrie. Il est naturalisé américain le 6 septembre 1990.

Encouragé par ses parents, Paul Anka développe très tôt un talent de chanteur et enregistre son premier titre I Confess à l'âge de 14 ans.

Le 7 août 1957, il fait sa première apparition télévisée à New York, dans l'émission American Bandstand appartenant au réseau américain ABC. Il y présente une chanson composée pour son ancienne baby-sitter, Diana Ayoub. La chanson Diana remporte un succès immédiat et passe en tête des meilleures ventes de disques le 9 septembre.

Irvin Feld, propriétaire d'une chaîne de magasins de disques et producteur du spectacle Biggest Show of Stars engage alors Paul Anka pour sa première tournée aux États-Unis en septembre 1957.

En 1958, Paul signe sa première visite en Algérie où il est accueilli en roi par la famille Castelli qui lui offre à multiples reprises ses scènes.

Diana reste aujourd'hui un des 45 tours les plus vendus de l'histoire de la musique avec 9 millions de copies. Grâce aux titres You Are My Destiny et Crazy Love, également classés dans les 20 meilleures ventes de l'année 1958, Paul Anka devient l'idole du public adolescent.

Après une tournée en Grande-Bretagne en novembre 1957, il réalise une série de concerts avec Buddy Holly en Australie en janvier 1959.

Au début de l'année 1959, Anka commence une carrière d'acteur en chantant plusieurs chansons (dont Lonely Boy) dans le film Girls Town. Il joue également un rôle dans le film Le Jour le plus long en 1962 dont il écrit la musique et la chanson du film The Longest Day qui sera un succès international.

Il enchaîne les succès commerciaux avec les titres Put Your Head On My Shoulder, Puppy Love (écrits pour Annette Funicello), It's Time To Cry, et My Home Town, tous classés dans les dix meilleures ventes de l'année.

Ayant atteint la majorité, il se produit dans les casinos de Las Vegas: le Sahara Hôtel en 1959 et le Copacabana en 1960.

Sa popularité auprès du jeune public diminuant, il signe en 1962 chez le label RCA Victor, puis chez Buddah Records en 1971. Il renoue enfin avec le succès en signant en 1974 chez United Artists Records, une compagnie connue pour son style conventionnel. Son premier titre, (You're) Having My Baby, un duo avec Odia Coates, devient numéro 1 des ventes (sous la pression des mouvements féministes naissants, le titre est modifié en (You're) Having Our Baby). Deux autres duos, également avec Odia Coates, seront classés dans les dix meilleures ventes.

En 1975, il enregistre le jingle The Times of Your Life pour la marque Kodak. La campagne publicitaire est un succès et une version longue de The Times of Your Life est produite en 45 tours. ...
