Paul Anka on My Way, giving the Beatles advice and his love of Canada

from Q with Tom Power

After 70 years in the music industry, Paul Anka has more than 900 songs to his credit. The prolific Canadian songwriter is also the only artist in history to have a song on the Billboard Top 100 during seven consecutive decades. In the new HBO documentary Paul Anka: His Way, Paul recounts his life as a teen idol in the ’50s, writing some of the most memorable songs for artists like Buddy Holly and Frank Sinatra, and how he’s managed to evolve through the trends of each passing decade. A few months ago, Paul joined Tom Power to talk about his life in music, having a good cry after he wrote My Way, and meeting the Beatles back when they were a cover band.
