S8E8 I've Seen it, I've Done It - the Life of Paul Anka


Listen Later

Before there was Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, New Kids on the Block, or the Osmonds, there was Paul Anka. One of Canada’s most important contributors to the landscape of modern pop music. While not the first teen star, he was the first one from Canada and defied the odds by leaving Ottawa for New York to make it big, and make it big he did. His career has spanned decades, his success has been global, his work is iconic, and while today younger listeners might now know much about him, his influence on music and music history is undeniable. 


HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!! CCH will return in January of 2023 :)

 

BOOK RECO: My Way written by Paul Anka and David Dalton published in 2013 by St. Martin’s Press
