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.
About The Artist:
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.
