I’M BY MYSELF AGAIN

from LISTEN TO YOUR HEART

written by Paul Anka & David Foster

“Listen To Your Heart” is one of Paul Anka’s best releases of the Seventies. Recorded in the spring of 1978, this album presents the singer at the top of his game with a solid track list that includes mostly romantic ballads and a few up-tempo moments.

NEVER GET TO KNOW YOU

From HEADLINES
Written by David Foster & Paul Anka

Two Canadian treasures, David Foster and Paul Anka, have been friends and co-workers for the past 30 years writing beautiful songs like Anka’s 1983 hit single “Hold Me ‘Til the Morning Comes.” Foster also produced fine material for the superstar’s 1989 album “Somebody Loves You” and 1998’s “A Body of Work.”

IT’S HARD TO SAY GOODBYE

From A BODY OF WORK
Written by Paul Anka, Mark Spiro & Jack White

We all know how fundamental David Foster has been in Celine Dion’s career, all the hits they have mined together, #1 songs like “Because You Loved Me” and “The Power Of Love”, but we tried to find a song to review that wasn’t one of the big hits and instead we looked for one of the lesser known pearls, a duet with Paul Anka that was released in 1998 as part of his “Body Of Work” cd.

HOLD ME ‘TIL THE MORNIN’ COMES

From WALK A FINE LINE
Written by David Foster and Paul Anka

We all remember the string of hits David Foster had with Chicago, songs like “Hard To Say I’m Sorry” and “You’re The Inspiration” are evergreens that are played on radio still today. This song is in the exact same vein, we can call it the best Chicago song never recorded by Chicago.
