Paul Anka

Paul Albert Anka was born in Ottawa, Canada, on 30 July 1941, the eldest child of Andrew and Camelia Anka, immigrants of Syrian-Lebanese descent who ran 'The Locanda' restaurant on Laurier Avenue. Still barely in his teens, he would treat visiting pop acts to meals and struck up friendships with groups such as The Diamonds and The Four Lads — an early sign of where his heart lay.

Anka learned drums, trumpet and piano, sang in the choir of St Elias Church under Frederick Karam and studied music theory with him. By the age of ten he was already winning local talent contests, usually by impersonating current stars such as Frankie Laine. At thirteen he formed the vocal trio The Bobbysoxers, acting as both its singer and its manager; to his goal of becoming a singer he subordinated everything else.

As one of the first singer-songwriters of the rock 'n' roll era, he scored an immediate worldwide hit in 1957 with his own composition 'Diana' — reputedly about his former babysitter — which sold some ten million copies. Paul Anka became one of the most popular teen idols of all, pitched between the wholesome Pat Boone and the thrilling Elvis Presley, and strung together classics such as 'You Are My Destiny', 'Lonely Boy' and 'Put Your Head On My Shoulder'.

Anka had a shrewd business mind and a gift for reinventing himself across the decades. As a writer, too, he achieved worldwide standing — 'My Way' for Frank Sinatra and 'She's A Lady' for Tom Jones both bear his signature. In 1993 his achievements earned him a place in the Songwriters' Hall of Fame.
