Allmusic gave the compilation 4.5 stars out of 5 and said, "Not many artists can claim a 20-year run of hits, much less be credited with writing the majority of them as well, but Paul Anka can." [ 1 ]
"Diana" is a song written and first performed by Paul Anka, [2] who recorded it in May 1957 at Don Costa’s studio in New York City. Anka stated in his autobiography that the song was inspired by a girl named Diana Ayoub (13 March 1939 – 1 December 2022), [3] whom he had met at his church and community events, and had developed a crush on.
It was 1957 -- sixty years ago -- when a 16-year-old Paul Anka used an uncle's gift of $100 to travel to New York City. He auditioned for ABC's Dan Costa. By 1958, he was a star.
"She's a Lady" is a song written by Paul Anka and released on his album Paul Anka '70s (RCA 4309, 1970). The most successful recording was performed by Tom Jones and released at the beginning of 1971. It is Jones's highest-charting single in the U.S. (and his 5th and final Billboard top 10 hit).
Anka’s name was hastily added to the credits, thus adding to his list of hits. Another Anka/Jackson co-write would surface five years later in 2014 with the release of “Love Never Felt So Good.”
