RED'S RECORD
RACK
Canadian
Boy Hits Big Time
by Red
Robinson Vancouver Sun
Sept.27, 1957
Paul
Anka, a 15-year-old Ottawa
high school student, is
one of today's most
promising song writers and
record personalities.
His current
hit, Diana, is fifth in
the national survey.
Paul wrote
this song for his girl
friend next door, Diana
Ayoub.
He has teamed
up with Micki Mario, a
girl singer, on ABC
Paramount records and put
out a new version of an
old favorite, What You've
Done to Me.
This record
is headed for the top,
too. It's a big
favorite with the record
buyers today. Paul
will be in Vancouver on
Oct. 23 with the Everly
Brothers, Fats Domino,
Laverne Baker, Eddie
Cochran, Buddy Knox and
Jimmy Rodgers.
A song that
was reported in this
column a month ago as
starting to rise on the
local hit parade is now
the number one song across
Canada and the U.S.
The song is That'll Be the
Day with The
Crickets.
Vancouver's record buyers
are the people that made
That'll Be the Day a
national hit song.
