Paul Albert Anka (born July 30, 1941) in Ottowa, Canada. Paul where the eldest out of three siblings born of his lebanese Canadian parents , Camelia and Andy Anka. Paul spent his whole childhood helping out in the kitchen and schmoozing with patrons of his father's restaurant. From an early age it was clear that Paul had big dreams of life on stage.At the year's end 1956, he convinced his father to let him go to New York City in search of his big break. His father agreed, on one condition: If Paul couldn't make it big in the Big Apple, he would have to come back home to Ottawa.
Soon after his arrival , he landed a meeting with Don Costa, an executive at ABC/Paramount Records, who agreed to listen to a few minutes of Anka's music. After hearing the Paul play some of his songs on the piano, Costa called in his colleagues. Within days, Paul Anka's father was in New York signing a contract on behalf of his son, who was still a minor and thus couldn't sign on his own
The label decided to release "Diana," a song Anka wrote for a girl he had a crush on in Ottawa, as the artist's first single. Within weeks, the 16-year-old had the No. 1 song in the world. "Diana" went on to sell more than 20 million copies. Paul Anka was officially a teen idol. By the late 1950s, well before his 20th birthday, he was traveling the world, singing songs like "Lonely Boy" and "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" for crowds. "My life as a teenager ended at 16," Anka said. "I went into another sphere." Yet in spite of his worldwide fan base, Anka's hometown largely refused to embrace him. Local kids booed him at his show in Ottawa in 1956, and he refused to play there again for decades.
As the 1950 went by ,Anka's style of music fell out of favor. Teens began to listen to rock 'n' roll of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones over the dreamy love songs Anka did. The big record labels quietly shoved him aside. "When they started not to believe and they sensed that things were changing, I said, 'OK, give me back my life. Give me back my music,'" said Anka. For $250,000, he bought back the rights to all his music and began to transform his image from teen idol singer to Rat Pack-style songwriter.
I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please stay by me, Diana
Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me
Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please stay with me, Diana
Oh, my darlin', oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me, darling, ho-ho hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with-a all your might
Oh, please stay with me, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
