Paul Anka - Jubilation

[jsglrllnd]

EXCELENTE ROLA DE LOS 70'S

[TheFelio69]

this song was use for the intro of amexican night show "loco valdez" back in the 70"s

[sazeracJeff]

A few years ago I found a copy of this record on ebay, and bought it so I could make my mother a CD for Xmas (because she doesn't have a turntable anymore). She cried when I gave it to her. When I was a kid she used to crank it up on the stereo most weekends while we cleaned the house on Saturday mornings. Probably the only song that could beat the hell out of the racket from the vacuum cleaner! Listening to this track, and especially the arrangements, my musical tastes start to make sense!

[peggyjohnson]

This is really awesome!

EL SHOW DEL LOCO VALDEZ  JJAJAJAJAJJAJAJA

[ejslurb2007]

I heard this song played a lot on WCBS-FM in New York during 1972 and 73, before the station went oldies. I was then an agnostic, but I considered this about the hottest song I've ever heard from Anka. Now, as a Messianic Jew, I still think this is one incredible song, and I think if it were re-released it would sell very well in the now-full-grown "Praise & Worship" market. So Anka, if you're reading this, now's the time to strike. Re-release "Jubilation," and reap what you've sewn!

[elkabong1961]

I think this is a great song.

[SugarSweettart]

In I972, I lived in Erie County, Pennsylvania and I had a rooftop antenna connected to my AM radio and I could easily pull in CHUM 1050 in Toronto. I used to drive the neighbours nuts because it would interfere with their TV reception and they would complain about getting "the devil's music" coming into their TV's during their favourite programming. I loved this song and CHUM gave it a lot of airplay. Thanx for the memories. They sure remind me of the good ole days.

[kicocamarena]

GREAT, GREAT, MAGIC!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

[hoopinator87]

we are doing this song for our choir camp this year and i just absolutely love it

[miketheshanmanmangan]

This song remains as incredible as it was when initially released on Buddah,I played this as Hitbound for three weeks when their was such a thing as top 40 radio,The God rock genre was definitely there with the lyrics,The horn and string sections were spectacular as well.Go back crank it up.Pail anka had many HUGE hits this was truly the forgotten classic !!!

[ilikeyouallot]

way before disco....

[phildvoid2]

Outstanding

[watchingandthinking]

I love "Diana" by Paul Anka

[victoriacruzverde]

TODOS LOS INSTRUMENTOS TANENDO CON GRAN JUVILO,ME ENCANTA ESTA CANCION DESDE QUE TENIA 14 ANOS .HIJA DE UN MUSICO .TENIA UN GRAN SENTIDO PARA LA MUSICA .

[Aenntw]

Love those metals! They say Loco Valdes danced to this tune.

[bobpeeweemusic]

I agree that was a change in direction for him! It reminded of me of when he made a dance record called Gimme The Word (a duet with Karla Devito) in the early 80s. Wouild you have that to post??? I haven't heard it in forever.

PS - I like your other posts as well, very absrtact and informative. Nice Job!

[nwest1140]

It's the longest Paul Anka song I guess.

[Marta7350]

Thank you for posting this. I love this song.

[polonavsin]

THE BEST, THE BEST, NADA MEJOR QUE ESTO! SE ADELANTOA SU EPOCA, YO TENIA 15, QUE BARBARO, GRACIAS...MUCHAS GRACIAS , QUE RECUERDOS!

[jakescottify]

great track as ever from paul, loving his daughters new blog too here

antheaanka. com

[20chicharito]

My dad love this song ^^

[fairylvr]

@fairylvr

I had the pleasure of working for Paul Anka in the 70's at his fantastic nightclub in Las Vegas..it was called Jubilation and all the entertainers in Las Vegas would come there after their shows..it was unbelievable...he named it after his song, Jubilation...his partner was Doug Buffone of the Chicago Bears....Oh man, those were the days!! Party!!! The man is a class act!!

[damortza]

es una muy buena cancion y la entroduccion de esa orquesta fue

perfecta

[fandepucca]

This song is excellent!. The comments about if it´s rock or not are out of place. That doesn´t matter, it´s good music, and I love rock. The song describes when Good and Evil touch hahaha. Jus listen and "feel" the closing part and you´ll know what I mean.

[Sakuvi]

me gustaa mucho esta cancion y toda la orquesta que le acompaña.

[02javis]

en un punto demoniaca.. solo le falta el fuego del infierno.

[dookiedrummers]

mojofilter02,

I absolutely loved this song as a kid, and I have looked for it everywhere! It is one of my favorite childhood songs and I still try to play it on the piano. Now because of your post, my kids can listen to the real version and not dad's cheesy piano rendition. Thanks!

[adyxsful]

ME ENCANTA LA CANCIÓN!!

[izasana888]

I loved this song as a kid. LOL

[arturo4839]

No es mala idea, más bien es buenísima. ¡Ojalá alguien pueda subir el video del "Loco" Valdez bailandola! Estoy seguro que será del agrado de mucha gente, desde luego incluidos los jovenes. Saludos y gracias de antemano.

[enfrarroker]

Completamente de acuerdo contigo, representativa en el Mexico de los 70`s e inmortalizada con el bailesito del "Loco" Valdez

[finzan]

What a classic piece of art! *****

[viperam57]

Busquen el baile en " El Show del Loco Valdes " Saludos desde Jalisco.

[elpeco69]

me gustaria que alguien subiera el video del loco valdez bailando esta cancion es una obra maestra de la epoca creo que salio en el show del loco valdez del 72 o 73 es una obra de la television contemporanea ´por favor escuchenme

[osdelced]

Apoyo tu petición. Por el "Loco" Valdéz en la familia conocimos esta canción, y hasta la fecha yo también cuando la escucho la relaciono inevitablemente con él y mis primeros años de infancia. :)

[mareamx]

me encanta la relacion entre orquesta y la intencion de la melodia cuando estoy apachurradon esta cancion me levanta gracias paul, saludos tambien desde mexico

[RoyFive]

Why didn't he just keep doing more stuff like this?

[mojofilter02]

Because he wasn't really a rocker by any stretch. The overwhelming majority of his catalogue is middle-of-the-road lite pop music, filtered through Las Vegas cabaret presentation. After this, he dove head-first into Adult Contemporary and pretty much stayed there. He made a lot of money at it, too.

Part of why this record is so great is due to the presence of Johnny Harris and his rock orchestra. They provided stellar accompaniment to a lot of hit records.

[mojofilter02]

For another example of Harris' brilliance, see "Nothing But A Heartache" by The Flirtations.

[RoyFive]

Oh my gosh--I love that song by the Flirtations. I don't know anything about Johnny Harris but it shouldn't surprise me that he was behind both of these masterpieces.

[RoyFive]

In any case, I really appreciate your putting this up! I still think this is the best thing PA ever did.

[elchato68]

@mojofilter02 Bloody well right!!!! Clouldn´t agree more!!!!

[tyoonz]

This is GREAT! I remember this tune so well! Many years ago, I saw Paul do this on the old "Midnight Special" TV show. Not only was he in fine voice, but I remember that the instrumental break at the end was just INSANE! The trumpeters were screaming impossibly high notes. The reeds sounded like a locomotive. So much power and flash! It was sensational! I wish I could see that again. But, this clip is super. And, clearly, mojofilter02, you know a lot about your topic! Thanks!

[Debs03]

Wow....does this song take me back! Thanks for posting it!

[huesero51]

No entiendo la relación de las idoteces del Loco Valdez, con el contenido cristiano de "Jubilation".

[RISKATALL]

no habia relaciin alguna ... simplemente bailaba la parte final del tema,

eso no tiene absolutamente nada que ver con el contenido cristiano de la cancion

[duvdevanik]

de hecho la musicalizacion la decidia produccion, no recuerdo su nombre del encargado, canal 2 de 1970, y el Loco no hablaba ni una gota de ingles, el estaba en otro rollo, hacia su show y nos hacia reir.

Muy bueno tu concepto de que se congele el infierno, AMEN

apk

[macatan62]

mojofilter eres chingon sube mas

rolotas

[jaimicu]

Tip para los que tengan TV de paga Sky o cable, en el canal de clásico TV pasan el programa de el Show del Loco y es bueno volver a ver ese programa ya que me recuerda mi infancia de TV en Blanco y Negro. Y volver a ver al Loco bailando esta y otras rolitas de los 70´s Genial

[huesero51]

CANCION CRISTIANA = Traducción aleatoria ;" Nada reemplaza al hombre que abraza sus creencias. Pecadores, tomen nota, pues la vida que llevan es engañosa. Yo apuesto por Jesús. Yo espero que el infierno se congele. Espero simplemente que el demonio se congele. Así como para los niños, Dios bendice y Dios dispone. Ellos conocerán la tristeza, compartirán la confusión y la desilusión de la vida. - Piano y metales INCREIBLE ¡

[osdelced]

Yo tengo la letra en inglés, traté de traducirla al español, y la verdad me hice bolas (XD). ¡Tu traducción aleatoria es buenísima! :D.

¿No podrías compartir la letra completa? ;) ... ¡Saludos!

[dogkelp]

Paul Anka got soul!

[mysticmrsam]

the second half of the song ...to me is the most enjoyable...a lot seems to be going on

[aguilas231]

Alexggable: Claro que recuerdo esa

epoca dorada de la television mexicana,

los comediantes eran mas divertidos,

sin caer en lo vulgar como ahora

[alexggable]

Tienes razón, comediantes como ensalada de locos, los polivoces, etc., ya no hay. Ahora todo es pura vulgaridad. Se venera más a un cuate que gana en los albures haciendo de menos a otro individuo, que un cómico que resuelve una situación en forma rápida y hace un chascarrillo, hasta burlándose de sí mismo.

Los cómicos de hoy son un reflejo de la sociedad en que nos hemos convertido.

Saludos.

[JLSTHERAT]

good memories,, I remember the old 7in record..

[alexggable]

Para los de México:

¿Alguien se acuerda cómo bailaba el loco Valdés esta rola en su programa?

En esa época era lo máximo el loquillo...

[m1ke1954]

fijate que si me acuerdo, pero ahora por sky estan repitiendo los programas del loco, y sale vailando esta rola, lo vi ayer. y me trae muchos recuerdos, con sus ocurrencias, saludos

[osdelced]

Me acuerdo como un sueño muy borroso. Lo que sí me llamaba mucho la atención era su apariencia: Contraste de calvicie con cabello muy largo, enormes patillotas, cejudo de pícara mirada, las carotas que hacía, sus pantalones bien acampanados y sus clásicos zapatones de plataforma de cinco suelas... ¡Ja, ja, ja!.

Saludos. :)

[boogiejuice]

The rest was issued on a single on United Artists in 1973, as by The Johnny Harris Orchestra, titled "Johnny's Theme." The music is identical to this performance, and not a remake - it was hived off of the Paul Anka record and reissued under a different name. It didn't chart.........................­..do you have this record? I'm a big Johnny Harris fan and i've never seen it.

[mojofilter02]

I had it for about two weeks in 1977, and then my record collection was stolen. I've never seen another copy of it. But I'm here to tell you that it definitely exists!

[boogiejuice]

Thank you for the information. So my JH collection is no longer complete! That must be a rare thing as it was unknown to me. Maybe it only came out in Canada? Johnny Harris did make a new version of Jubilation that was different, released in 1976. This only came out in Canada on UA.

[jorjekamacho]

¿Dónde encontraste esta rola? Tengo años buscándola. Qué bendición, de veras. ¡Gracias!

Where did you find this tune? I've been looking for it for years. What a blessing, honest. Thanks so much, bro!!!

[mojofilter02]

I bought the record in Canada when it was first released. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[daywalker1970]

dime que hacias con un piano, una orquesta sinfonica, coros y una buena letra hace 40 años? JUBILATION¡¡¡ DE PAUL ANKA¡¡¡ Yo todavia tengo el disco de 45 RPM que me regalo mi madre y esta enterito¡¡¡. los dizque cantantes de ahora como el daddy yankee y wisel y gretel o como se llame, y los disque de musica duranguense deberian postrarse de rodillas y pedir perdon por denigrar la musica¡¡¡. Esta se es musica con talento¡¡¡ No porquerias.

[Raflesdesanta]

En los 70s se hacía música de a deveras, no como la abundancia de basura desechable que circula hoy y que para cualquiera que aprecie la buena musica no hay comparación entre la música de aquellos años, como esta de Paul, y las mugres que hacen ahora.

[chika8684]

como no recordar biejos momentos con esta melodia tiempos de añoranza gracias

[pirado65]

excelente cancion muy buena rola me cai

[CaliforniaHotel]

si sabes que esta cancion y lo que es...

estas vivo.. si no sabes ni quien es el que la canta,,,, no te apures .. preguntale a tu papa... esto si era y es musica....

esta de lujo..... que pocos sabemos disfrutar.......

[EricBlueDeer]

THE DEVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RobertoHMV]

marvelous!!!!

[Chacmool]

Aunque en su totalidad es una fregoneria,la parte màs "alucinante" es a partir de 4:41,tanto que fue tomada por el "Loco" Valdéz, como intro de su programa "El Show del Loco" donde nos demostraba sus grandes cualidades de bailarin.Cosa rara, no se le inventó un tìtulo en español sino que se le dejó la "traducciòn" literal:Jubilación. Cuando lo correcto era:Celebración o Júbilo. Ya que "Jubilación" significa cuando uno se retira de trabajar por la edad.,o sea, que ni al caso.

[jestor58]

Esa cancion y el Loco Valdez no pueden separarse, de hecho por escucharla en su programa y verlo tan "prendido" bailandola, me hice fan de esa cancion, larga e inusual como dices, pero aun asi aqui en Monterrey se tocaba enterita....

[RobertoHMV]

Una de las mejores rolas FOREVER AND EVER!!!!

YEAH!

[Chacmool]

Despues de haberse "apagado" casi totalmente durante el resto de los años 60`s, a inicios de los 70`s el canadiense Paul Anka sorprendió a Mèxico con una SUPER rola, totalmente distinta a lo que se le conocia, su nombre: Jubilatión. El impacto fuè total, sobre todo por el impresionante arreglo musical y por su duraciòn,pues se excedia del tradicional formato de 3 mins.que se acostumbraba en ese entonces. Aùn asì varias estaciones la pasaban integramente,pero otras la recortaban.

[tedk49]

Paul Anka is a very underrated songwriter, performer and arranger. Jubilation is a vintage 70s hit. Does anyone know if you can get it in a digital format instead of vinyl?

[mojofilter02]

It's on two CDs that are both out of print: "30th Anniversary Collection" on Rhino (1989) and "Vegas Style: The Best of the Late RCA and Buddah Recordings" on Taragon (2000). The former can be bought for a reasonable price, but the latter goes for upwards of $30 if you can find one.

[tedk49]

Thanks very much for the information.

[dragoneti67]

sinners take key that the life that you lead is deceiving.((powerful lirycs!))

[mojofilter02]

No. "Sinners take heed..."

[CirSam]

I mean Odyssey.

[boogiejuice]

Yes, it is the same Johnny Harris.

[CirSam]

Great song. Hey is this the same Johnny Harris who had the 1980 disco hit Odyessey?

[mojofilter02]

It's hard to say, because while I can find a listing that the record exists, there is no entry for Johnny Harris either in the Billboard book of Hot 100 records 1955-2002 or the "Bubbling Under the Hot 100" book. If it couldn't manage to get in either of those charts, it wasn't a hit, it was an extremely obscure record that couldn't get arrested with regard to airplay or sales.

[JLMTHH]

HERMANO!-BROTHER!-FIGLIO:

GRACIAS!-THANK YOU!-GRAZZIE!

You can't imagine how much I have craved to listen to this song! I am 51 and this is a Quantum Leap to the Past and the best of it. PS. I have tried to get one of my local radio stations in Phoenix to play it, but perhaps NOW they will KNOW what I'm talking about.

Cheers!

[mojofilter02]

You're welcome! Good luck getting it played on the radio now. If it isn't on the playlist, most stations will refuse to play a record, no matter how good it is, or how big it was when it was new. But I hope you can get them to take notice of how popular it is right here, right now. It'll soon have 10,000 views. That's popular in my book!

[roycuevassaa]

I really got into this comment. My father used to play this song in his old disc player. I still remember he had this long version in a 45 revolutions disc. I was about 5-6 years old and since then I loved this song. I still do.

After all these years the only person close to me who knew of this song is a very good friend of mine back in Mexico. It is good to know there are still some people around who appreciate good music.

Piacere!.

P.S. Thanks mojofilter02 for posting this masterpiece!.

[maysyl]

yo tambien de niña veia el programa del loco!

igual me trae muchos recuerdos!

[rcortes60]

Todavia conservo el disco de vinyl en mi coleccion personal, se emitio bajo el sello de budha records. Sigo buscando el video del concierto.

[losu11]

yo lo sigo buscando tambien,,,y creeo no lo ahy saludos

[DennyYou]

Heard it first in 1972, and it still sounds fresh today as it did back then. GREAT performance by Paul, and a FANTASTIC arrangement by Johnny Harris. Proof that Paul Anka can ROCK!

[balkis76]

It´s so simply... here we have a masterpiece

[yosoylaura]

guau!! tanto tiempo esperé a que subierán esta canción. Hace miles de años la bailaba un famoso cómico en México: "el loco Valdés" me trae muchos recuerdos de mi infancia. Mil gracias.

[ganso7mx]

Hola el programa se llamaba el show de el loco Valdês en los 70s,mucho antes de ensalada de locos,la canciòn esta de maravilla,saludos.

[osdelced]

Hola!, sabía que alguien más tendría que recordar ese programa de El Loco valdés; creo de hecho que fué él y su programa quienes hicieron famosa "Jubilation" en méxico. Por lo menos así la conocímos y mi papá compró el single de 45 RPM. Yo estaba muy chico, y cada que mi papá ponía el disco era inevitable relacionarla con Manuel "Loco" Valdés, sus gracias, sus patillotas, su pelo largo, sus pantalones de campana, sus zapatos de plataforma muy alta y su muy peculiar forma de bailarla. Saludos!.:)

[ganso7mx]

Saludos,abundando en ese programa el "loco" bailaba esa cancion con sus zapatos "canada" de colores,normalmente era para celebrar algo respecto a su equipo favorito, ni digo cual es puès se arma la grande aqui,es un gusto saludarlos bye.

[losu11]

creeo que los zapatos eran g evolucion por que mi papa asi los usaba igual que el loco valdez saludos amigo*/*/*

[felinodano]

Hola. Sí, yo también veía ese programa cuando era niño y me trae muchos buenos recuerdos, además esta rola es maravillosa. Saludos.

[0r3y3s0]

WTS is thiss ..ª!!

it's a great songg ..!

a big Fucking song XD

[rockbeart]

I found this mastrerpiece at last! I couldn't believe it was Paul Anka when I heard this song for the first time. Adding a comment to what osdelced said: Cesar Costa used to made covers of Paul Anka's songs in spanish, so PA decided to sue CC, who was not only a singer but a lawyer too, so he said that thanks to those covers PA was being known not only in Mexico but all of Latinamerica. After that, they started a friendship that lasts until today. Thanks for the post.

[TNTColonel]

Thanks for the upload, mate.

Even though I'm too young to have heard this when it came out, I have loved this song since the first time my dad showed it to me...

It's quality music, unlike loads of recent songs.

[edstarwind]

My dad too introduced this song to me. We would play it while cleaning the house. It was always cranked so loud the house shook at times. I LOVE this song!!!

[secordman]

Paul's best song in my opinion, it's got such a great arrangement but he also sings with great conviction. This is rock solid.

[1gherhardt]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I missed this song. I would ask my father to play it over and over, specially for the awesome instrumental second-half. I hear it again, after almost 30 years.

I wish this song would come out on CD, or on iTunes.

[mojofilter02]

You're welcome! I'm glad to be able to give people back a few minutes of their youth.

[angusthethird]

What a message. Still holds true today.

[rafachavez5]

YES!!! I agree with OSDELCED thank you for posting this wonderful song I'm mexican and love this song too, totally remember the show on TV that is reffered...sorry for my spellin' and thank you again MOJOFILTER02 I was wanting to listen to this son for A LONG TIME!!!!!

[mojofilter02]

It seems a lot of people like this song! Since the beginning of June '08, it has broken away from the pack and is now my most viewed video. And it's unbelievably popular in Mexico. I would never have guessed that Mexicans like Paul Anka so much... I don't suppose Paul Anka would have, either!

[osdelced]

I heard Paul Anka's Jubilation 'cause mi dad buy the 45 RPM single, when in 1972 on mexican television (today Televisa) production staff used a little track of the instrumental part in a comic show with Manuel 'Loco' Valdez, Hector Lechuga and Alejandro Suarez, in the beginning and end of commercial cuts. Paul Anka has been played so much in 1960's on mexican radio stations, and sing her songs in spanish by Cesar Costa. Maybe some people can remember 'Jubilation' if remember this T.V. show. :)

[mojofilter02]

Thank you very much for that information!

I see that "Jubilation" has slipped out of the #1 position, but it remains among the most popular of all of the records I've posted. Thanks to all who have viewed it. I'm glad you have enjoyed it.

[osdelced]

Thanks. I take lyrics of this song from internet, and made traduction to spanish. The song has a good message. Another reason for like me so much song and orchestra!!!.

You have a friend in México.

[somaqi]

Osdelced, Would you tell me where can I take lirycs of this song? I apreciate so much this song for all the remembers and of course the excelent music..

Ilook forward you replay. wow!!!!

[osdelced]

Wow!!!... Jubilation on Youtube! :D

My Paul Anka's favorite song, since i was a child (I'm 37 years old)!.

Thanks Mojofilter02 for post it, and thanks to Paul Anka and Johnny Harris for this great composition!!!.

Beautiful and genius song!.

JUBILATION FOREVER!!!!!......
