He was 18 when he performed this, that’s crazy!

[sincerelyweird]

Older music sounds like you’re walking on clouds, it’s amazing

[julietterogers]

The way he sings it, his body language and the smile makes it so much better

[aydengreen]

[SmilingEgg]

The way he says "Baby" gives me chills. IT IS SO GOOD 👍

I had the pleasure to meet him in person at the Santa Monica Public Library in 2013. He was on his autobiography book tour. There was only 40 people attendance a real intimate setting. That 1 hour he shared with us his growing up in Canada...Diana...as a young boy. How he spent several summers in Los Angeles at his uncle's house. Frank Sinatra...the Mob in Las Vegas, who payed him. He took questions and answered all of them. Then pictures with him, my 13 year old daughter and me. Took the time to talk with my daughter. Paul was so gracious. An evening we'll never forget.

He was 18. Now it's good that he's still alive and he's 81

I love people styled their hair back then. Men looked so handsome!

Paul Anka also recorded "This is it" with Michael Jackson. He is a very talented singer with a sweet voice. This song is timeless.

[ellatindle]

This kind of music needs to come back, straight up.

[Mary-Vintage]

This was the l song that introduced me to the music of the 1940’s-1960’s.

It was summer 2020. While hanging out with friends, this song played. I originally shrugged it off, but a couple days later when I was looking for music to do my chores to, I came across "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" again and decided to play it. It then took me to a 1940's-1960's playlist which I listened to and I've been hooked ever since!

As the years went by, I started to become interested in the fashion and hairstyles of these decades and afterwards, the films and T.V shows. I'm now 17 and am OBSESSED with (mostly) the 1950's. I own a record player with 40+ vinyls of artists from those decades and I feel I've found my true, authentic self all thanks to this one song by Paul Anka. 🥰🥰🥰

I just realized that this performance was on my birthday! Only, it was 45 years before I was born.

[cavaliere]

He was only 18 years old and he was already a great singer. He even wrote song lyrics to singers like Frank Sinatra around that time. Mr. Anka, you are a genius.

[LILY.KATE-]

My great grandmother said he was her biggest crush back in the day.

[ugugnmc]

The way he said "whisper in my ear" with a smiling smirk nodding face, it gave me butterflies!

No auto tune, the voice of a true angel.
