No Paulie, No Sue

A collaboration between Paul Anka and Michael Jackson took place a long time ago in the 1980s, when they co-wrote a song entitled “I Never Heard.” When Paul Anka heard the new Michael Jackson song, “This Is It,” just released posthumously, the master songwriter recognized it at once.

Canadian-born singer and songwriter,Paul Anka first achieved fame in his teens with hit songs such as “Diana,” “Lonely Boy,” “Puppy Love” and many others. Paul penned the Tom Jones hit “She’s a Lady.” He also wrote the English lyrics to a French song called “Comme D’Habitude.” “My Way” was not only destined to become Frank Sinatra’s famous signature song, it has been covered by a multitude of artists since 1968, including Elvis Presley, Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers, Brook Benton, Sammy Davis, Jr. and even Sid Vicious. Paul has enjoyed a long and illustrious career spanning over 50 years, and his detailed song list on the Songwriters Hall of Fame takes up 21 pages.
