Why see Paul Anka?
The Puppy Love singer is still going strong
Beginning his career by entering amateur contests, sneaking into clubs and recording his first song when he was just fourteen years old, Paul Anka has gone on to become one of the greatest songwriters in history. His singles 'Diana', 'Lonely Boy' and '(You're) Having My Baby' peaked at Number One on the US charts, though he's enjoyed a slew of other hit singles which took up other prime chart positions. Two of his most well-known singles are the late '50s crooner classics 'Put Your Head On My Shoulder' and 'Puppy Love', both of which became international hits and anthems for an era.
Singing aside, he has also achieved unprecedented success in every venue: stage, screen, television, and recording. Paul Anka's songs are internationally known and have been covered by some of the greatest names in the entertainment industry during a music career spanning over half a century!
