from the 80s and 90s.My favorite track is his cover of the Eric Clapton's song Tears in Heaven.Another highlight track on this CD is BlackHole Sun.The bass guitar playing on the track Hello is so smooth and subtle.It gives the song a very romantic tone.They give this song a very upbeat sound that I really liked.Anka's cover of Van's Halen's Jump sounds pretty good.Another standout on this album is Anka's cover of the song Wonderwall.All of the instruments are featured on this track, and they sound groovy.Rock Swings is truly a pleasure to listen to.Composer has been making spectactacular music for fifty years and in 2005 records a true Masterpiece that stands as one of his finest recorded works and never have Paul Anka vocals been finer or quite as mesmerizing and deeply soulful...Opening with Bon Jovi's "It's My Life", Mr.Anka makes this song a personal athem all his own that takes one back through the years in a way that becomes a memorable trip back through the great Sinatra years and the big band era in an original yet updated way that is a totally great musical experience which ultimately becomes a personal slogan about life and survival..."Eye Of The Tiger' is cool, rhythmic, sophisicated and so totally hip plus quite a unique listening experience not to be missed by those who enjoy a true great in sublime form as this magnificent performance hopefully won a "Grammy Award" and if it didn't, for shame!!!Anka performance that is one of his finest along with the amazing keyboard rifts!!!!Another great and surprising definitive masterful performance, how can one describe how great Mr.Thank you for all the years of the greatest in music both in singing and in composing...Was this review helpful to you?Simply listen to the original 'Survivor' version of 'Eye of the Tiger' back to back with Paul Anka's version and see what you think.Published 4 months ago by Anthony J.Nice experiment, but it doesn't quite work
It's a fun experiment, taking a number of pop and rock hits and turn them into jazz songs.And the performances are very good, both by the band and by Paul Anka.Paul Anka Rocks
As a long time Paul Anka fan and having seen him in concert this past summer, the DVD is excellent.Published 14 months ago by Susan H.Impressive Regardless of the Concept
At first I was tickled by the idea of taking rock songs and turning them into big band swing compositions.Paul Anka has done a fantastic job arranging the rock songs on this CD in big band style.Committed and a whole lot of fun
When Paul Anka decided to release a project with interpretations of popular rock tunes I was inclined to throw it put with the garbage without listen.See all 147 customer reviews...Remakes that you like better than the original.Music You Should Hear: Artists' PicksWant to know what Norah Jones, Sting, and Il Divo are listening to?For more about music, check out our blog, Amazon Earworm, and our monthly newsletters, Amazon Delivers.Please note that we are unable to respond directly to all feedback submitted via this form, but we'll ask you to sign in so we can contact you if needed.Track your recent orders.Visit our Help department.You have no recently viewed items or searches.Look to the right column to find helpful suggestions for your shopping session.Just great seats at low prices for Paul Anka tickets.Compare and save with our jumbo inventory with very low prices.Songs Custom radio plays what you want."Are you sure you want to block this user?CorbisPaul Anka in New York at age 18.He was only 15 when he first tasted success as a singer and songwriter.Verve Records'Rock Swings' on Verve Records is Paul Anka's latest recording.CorbisPaul Anka was an established star creating a new image for himself when this 1964 photo was taken in Stockholm, Sweden.One of the surprise critical hits of the summer is a new Paul Anka album called Rock Swings.That song was the first of a string of hits that put a very young Paul Anka on the road, singing to screaming fans on tours that included musical contemporaries like Buddy Holly and Bobby Darin.Anka, who turns 64 at the end of July, survived the transition and has remained in the public eye, more or less, ever since.He hit the top 20 with 22 songs, and the top 40 saw him 33 times.In total, Paul Anka has over 900 songs to his credit.Performers from Elvis Presley to the Gypsy Kings have covered his material.Susie Arioli Band, in the SwingJul.His Orchestra: German Propoganda Swing'Mar.Charts

Anka began composing songs which were based on his personal experiences.In 1956 he went to Los Angeles where he stayed with an uncle that worked
at the local civic playhouse.It was at this time that Anka's uncle became interested in Paul's music and arranged
for the industry contacts he needed.Freeman was impressed
with Anka and invited him to his home to rehearse.Disappointed Anka returned to Canada, made plans to attend college and considered a
career in law or news reporting.During Easter vacation, Anka went to New York with the Rover Boys, a Canadian quartet.Anka
then released singles every few months.However, they didn't do nearly as well as his past
records.Anka was now in demand around the world and appeared at the London Palladium and other
English venues in November, 1957.In 1959, he debuted at the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas.The result was his popularity
began fading with teenagers.Still he had some good sized hits, but they had trouble
generating top record sales.Anka switched record labels and
signed with RCA Victor.His first few records sold well, but he also had some failures.During the five years after 1963, Anka failed to place a single on the charts.In 1971, he
signed with a new label Buddah Records, whom he thought was more in tune with his record
buying audience.Anka released a few singles for Buddah, but his songwriting was clearly
out of style.In 1974, Anka signed with United Artist, a company known for it's middle of the road
music.Anka was credited with writing twelve songs that became gold records, most of which he
recorded.Today Paul Anka is a multimillionaire, due to his night club successes, record and
publishing royalties, and investments that include two publishing houses.He owns a
personal jet, large ranch near Monterey and a home in Las Vegas.Paul Anka became a United States citizen in August, 1990. |
