About

Paul Albert Anka (born July 30, 1941) is a Canadian and American singer-songwriter and actor. His songs include "Diana", "You Are My Destiny", "Lonely Boy", "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" and "(You're) Having My Baby".

Anka also wrote the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson; one of Tom Jones' biggest hits, "She's a Lady"; and the English lyrics to Claude François and Jacques Revaux's music for Frank Sinatra's signature song "My Way", which has been recorded by many artists including Elvis Presley. He co-wrote three songs with Michael Jackson: "This Is It" (originally titled "I Never Heard"), "Love Never Felt So Good", and "Don't Matter to Me", which became posthumous hits for Jackson in 2009, 2014, and 2018, respectively.

Il est rendu célèbre, entre autres par, l'écriture des paroles de My Way, adaptation en anglais du titre Comme d'habitude de Jacques Revaux et Claude François. Il est le premier interprète anglophone de cette version, qui sort en 1969, et qui est popularisée la même année par Frank Sinatra avant d'être reprise par de nombreux artistes.
