Paul Ankas Sings His Big 15

According to the original sleeve notes for Paul Ankas Big 15, One of Americas leading newspaper record reviewers stated in his column recently that when the current era of RocknRoll has faded from the scene and our musical tastes have been restored to normal, it is this writers belief that only two of todays recording idols will continue on the glory road. Of these two, the surest bet for consistent and long-lasting stardom is young Paul Anka. It proved to be a prophetic claim, with Paul Anka still enjoying a successful career more than fifty years after those words were first written. The recordings may date from more than five decades a go, but the magic that Paul captured then is relevant and obvious now not for nothing did the original compilers state that they had to expand the album beyond its normal twelve tracks simply to accommodate the major hits Paul had racked up even then.
