	Paul Anka
		Paul Anka was born in Ottawa, Ontario, on July 30th, 1941.
		Anka continued to release singles every few months, but none of them could match his earlier success and by early 1959, many thought Anka might have been a one hit wonder with "Diana." Then, Paul was chosen to play a role in a low budget movie called "Girl's Town".
		Paul Anka became a United States citizen in August, 1990, but came back to his Canadian roots when he became part owner of the new National Hockey League franchise in his birth town of Ottawa.

	Paul Anka - Rock Swings : album review
		Paul Anka is a scary man. Just look at him - his face stares out from the cover of his latest album with evil, conspiratorial intent.
		If Anka could just make all these young rock fans believe that their favourite original songs were in fact just covers of old 50s big band classics, they may give up trying new things and bring back the balance.
		Anka has largely avoided the trap Richard Cheese fell into and chosen only songs with defined vocal melodies, and while the vocal melody and lyrics are recognisable the arrangers have taken free rein with the instrumental score.

		Anka placed four songs in the Top 20 a year later, including "You Are My Destiny" and "Crazy Love," tempering the all-out rebellion of rock & roll with songs that questioned parental authority instead of outright disobedience.

	Paul Anka : Rock Swings - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Having written a fair number of them, Paul Anka recognizes a contemporary standard when he hears one, even if it doesn't conform to the historical model as it's existed from the days of Tin Pan Alley to Broadway.
		No matter how far the stretch, Anka and his inspired primary arranger, Randy Kerber, make these songs work in a swing context; in fact, it takes only a single listen to confirm that the narrator of even Van Halen's "Jump" is at heart quite the ring-a-ding swinger -- casual, cynical, knowing.
		Anka to an aged, out-of-touch, overdramatic lounge singer who is working much too hard to get us to take him seriously.

		Paul Anka transforms them into a distinctively original arrangement performed with enough 'swing' to out shine the Rat Pack themselves.
		Elsewhere, Anka manages to make Lionel Richie's 'Hello' seem not just non-emetic but actually listenable, by bringing out the essential creepiness of the lyric (you realise, if you hadn't already done so, that it's a love song sung from the point of view of a demented stalker).
		Applying the buoyant optimism of 50s swing to songs as dark and troubled as these is a gross error of taste by anyone's standards.

		Anka's a much better singer today than when he was as a kid, and he treats the songs with respect, even going so far as to make sense out of the lyrics to "Teen Spirit."
		An appealing novelty from a former teen idol your parents may be too young to remember, Paul Anka's Rock Swings is destined to be the one big-band album in many college kids' record collections.
