Paul Anka Is Back, 63 and Swinging - New York Times
"TORONTO, June 6 - Paul Anka knows what people will think.
Why would a teen idol turned Las Vegas crooner like him, who wrote early rock 'n' roll hits like 'Diana' and 'Put Your Head on My Shoulder,' who gave Johnny Carson his theme song and Frank Sinatra 'My Way,' release an album stuffed with 14 swinging renditions of rock songs from stylistic opposites like Van Halen and Billy Idol? "
Well, if Queen Latifah can do a jazz standards album, why not turn the tables?
Good Lord, he's covered a Soundgarden song, and it's not bad!
