Short Biography

Canadian-born Paul Anka first achieved success in the 1950s as a teenage singing star (and, for the times, an unusual one in that he wrote many of his own songs). Although he appeared in several films, and was quite believable as a nervous, hyper young soldier in The Longest Day (1962) (for which he also composed the theme music), Anka`s main interest was music, and he concentrated his efforts into composing (he wrote Frank Sinatra`s classic "My Way") and nightclub appearances in Las Vegas.
