\"\"<\/a>TEMECULA, Calif.<\/strong> \u2013 (October 3, 2018) \u2013 This November Paul Anka will be serenading the Pechanga Theater with hit songs his way. The icon will be honoring Frank Sinatra by singing Sinatra\u2019s songs his way along with his own hits that have spanned his successful music career. The live performance is set for Sunday, November 18 at 7 p.m. in the Pechanga Theater at Pechanga Resort Casino. Now on sale, tickets start at $69 and can be purchased at the Pechanga Box Office, by calling (888) 810-8871 or online at Pechanga.com.<\/p>\n

Paul Anka began his life in music at a young age. Beginning with the choir at church and his own vocal group, the Bobbysoxers, at 13. In 1956, Paul Anka traveled to Los Angeles, where he called every record company in the phone book looking for an audition. A meeting with Modern Records led to the release of Anka\u2019s first single, \u201cBlau-Wile Deverest Fontaine.\u201d When Anka returned to New York in 1957, he scored a meeting with Don Costa, the A&R man for ABC-Paramount Records. He played him a batch of songs that included \u201cDiana\u201d \u2013 his first number one hit.<\/p>\n

Soon Paul found himself traveling by bus with the \u2018Cavalcade of Stars\u2019 with the top names of the day in the era of segregation, performing at the Copa Cabana, the youngest entertainer ever to do so, and honing his craft surrounded by the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Frankie Lyman, and Chuck Berry. Soon Paul Anka found a passion for writing and began songwriting for Buddy Holly and Connie Francis. Among his proudest accomplishments was writing the Academy Award-nominated theme for The Longest Day, the 1962 film in which he also starred.<\/p>\n

By the \u201870s, the success of \u201cMy Way\u201d and a string of hits like \u201c(You\u2019re) Having My Baby\u201d confirmed his status as an icon of popular music. His later achievements as a recording artist included \u201cHold Me \u2018Til the Morning Comes,\u201d a hit duet with Peter Cetera in 1983, the Spanish-language album Amigos in 1996, and Body of Work, a 1998 duets album that featured Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, Patti LaBelle, Tom Jones and daughter Anthea Anka. If this wasn\u2019t enough, it was revealed upon its release in 2009, that Anka co-wrote Michael Jackson\u2019s posthumous #1 worldwide hit, \u201cThis Is It,\u201d which has further cemented his place upon the most prolific and versatile songwriters of any generation.<\/p>\n

Anka\u2019s two most recent albums \u2013 Rock Swings and now Classic Songs, My Way \u2013 ingeniously featured songs originally created by some of the biggest rock performers of the day \u2013 as well as other established artists across several genres. The twist: Paul Anka did the songs \u2018his way.\u2019 His goal: \u201ctaking great songs and rework them so they\u2019re natural for me.\u201d With the help of his five daughters, Anka spent months researching music from the \u201880s and \u201890s, trying to find the songs that would work in the radical new context he proposed. The songs that made the cut included Bon Jovi\u2019s \u201cIt\u2019s My Life,\u201d Lionel Richie\u2019s \u201cHello\u201d and Eric Clapton\u2019s \u201cTears in Heaven.\u201d Even more dramatic were his transformations of \u201cWonderwall\u201d by Oasis, \u201cBlack Hole Sun\u201d by Soundgarden and Nirvana\u2019s \u201cSmells Like Teen Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rock Swings went Top 10 in the UK, and was certified gold in the UK, France, and Canada, hit No. 2 on Billboard\u2019s Top Jazz Albums chart and went on to sell half a million units worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
