I was an avid Paul Anka fan in the 70's, but some where in the transition from LPs to cassettes to CDs and finally MP3, I fell out of touch with his music. Then 3 months ago, I heard "Love's a Lonely Song" on the radio and that brought back a whole lot of memories flooding back ...
I drove home quickly and immediately tried to locate old-time favorites such as "Bring the Wine", "Papa", "Love's a Lonely Song" etc on iTunes and other music web-sites. Even checked out Paul Anka's own web site - no mention of these songs anywhere !!
Browsing Amazon a few days later, I stumbled upon this CD - could not contain my excitement at finding, not one, not two, but 5-6 favorite songs from decades ago. His inimitable style of starting soft tones in the songs above, building up the emotions, and then letting it rip at the top of his voice towards the end - awesome.
A gem for every Paul Anka fan, and definitely worth trying for those who have not heard of him at all. And don't bother with iTunes - this album and most of its songs are still not available there.

For 70s Romantic Pop fanatics: If you liked Bread, Firefall, Paul Davies, Leo Sayer, Chicago, Barry Manilow, Eric Carmen and Elton John love songs, and Poco's 'Crazy Love'... You will love this CD.
Hits: In addition to the classics 'You're Having My Baby' and 'One Man Woman' sung with Odia Coates, you'll get a marvelous (and almost forgotten on Classic Rock FM radio programs) superhit: 'Love Is A Lonely Song'.
A very good CD to play on your shared time with your beloved one... The 4-star rating, is 'cause the CD sound quality is low to poor...

This is a collection of some of the best songs of Paul Anka from the 70's, some of them are very hard to find , songs like "How can anything.. " or "Bring the wine".
Awesome collection of beautiful songs from one of the best composers/artists/singers ever.
Like many critics said about him : "He's the man" !
I used to own the "Anka" LP (1974) and it is one of my favorite 70's album. The only reason I give this CD 3 stars instead of 5 is that the song "Let Me Get To Know You" is different from the 1974 LP, which is my second favorite song on the LP right after "Papa". Hopefully one day it will be released on CD format.
