Remastered for the first time since its release in 1960, Paul Anka’s Sings His Big 15 is the definitive collection of the legendary crooner’s biggest hits. In the original sleeve notes, a prominent newspaper record reviewer confidently declared, "When the current era of Rock 'n' Roll fades and our musical tastes return to normal, only two of today's recording idols will continue on the glory road. Of these two, the surest bet for consistent and long-lasting stardom is young Paul Anka." This assertion has proven prophetic, as Paul Anka continues to thrive in a successful career, surpassing 50 years since those words were first penned.
While the recordings may be over five decades old, the enchantment that Paul captured then remains both relevant and evident today. Pressed on colored vinyl.
Born in Ottawa, Canada, on July 30, 1941, Paul Anka began his musical journey early, singing in church and forming his vocal group, the Bobbysoxers, at 13. Despite initial setbacks, a Campbell's soup contest win led him to New York, where he solidified his dream of becoming a singer-composer. Anka's breakthrough came in 1957 with the hit "Diana," marking the start of his prolific career. He traveled with the 'Cavalcade of Stars,' performed at the Copa Cabana, and associated with legends like Sinatra and the Rat Pack.
An accomplished songwriter, Anka wrote for artists like Buddy Holly and Connie Francis. Hits like "My Way" in the '70s further elevated his status. Beyond performing, he co-wrote Michael Jackson's posthumous hit, "This Is It," showcasing his versatility. In recent years, Anka's albums, including "Rock Swings" and "Classic Songs, My Way," showcased his unique take on rock classics, earning international acclaim and gold certifications.
