Description
Just fifteen years of age when he wrote and recorded the multi-million-selling worldwide smash 'Diana', in 1957, former child prodigy Pauk Anka was perhaps predestined to become a major star.
He was, with the notable exception of Chuck Berry, the first singer/songwriter of the Rock & Roll era and he followed through with a steady stream of huge, mainly self-penned, hits. Hailed as Rock & Roll's youngest millionaire, Anka had sold nearly thirty million records and was grossing $1.5 million a year before his 21st birthday.
The ultimate compilation of his early career, this set features all his US chart entries between 1957 and 1962, for ABC Paramount and RCA Victor.
Nine of these were million sellers: 'Diana', 'You Are My Destiny', '(All Of A Sudden) My Heart Sings', 'Lonely Boy', 'Put Your Head On My Shoulder', 'It's Time To Cry', 'Puppy Love', 'My Home Town' and 'Love Me Warm And Tender'.
