[Vintageart1994]

Paul Anka the greatest and had way better songs then neil did.

[PahangDragonbird]

The chord progression of "You Mean Everything To Me" sounds almost exactly the same as "You Are My Destiny" too.

Interesting.

[SgtOBrien]

Music of those days sometimes had the same chords or the same structure. That's not a big deal.

Od tej piosenki zaczyna się moja przygoda z muzyką. Urokliwa i bardzo wpadajaca w ucho.

I dont care  Paul Anka is THE BEST!!!!!!!

Well done bringing this up!

There is indeed an interesting resemblance in the songs structure, and somewhat in melody. But "Diana" came out in 1957 whereas "All I Need is You" in 1959, 1963 or 1978 (These are the years I found from various sources!)

Also, according to my opinion, Paul Anka's "Diana" sounds much more like an authentic song than "All I Need is You". (This is difficult to evaluate!)

[donsharp57]

styles and orchestration are similar but not the same melody

[KENAA44]

qui a copié sur l autre ?

[GeneVeeAnachronism]

I prefer the slightly later version of Diana by Paul Anka

[linguini82]

me too. he got a thicker stronger vocal in his later verasion

[Kittielips]

Love them both......

5*****, Jennie.

X.

[spinout3]

great songs but i will always favour paul anka. how did neil sedaka get away with this one. their both great singers but for me anka had the edge. 10/10.

[alasdairal]

Neil said...-I took two notes every three notes from "Diana"...in order to write down "All I need is you"..-

this is Gospel truth, folks!

Whoa! Never heard the Sedaka version! I wonder if Sedaka ever got the credit, because it's so similar! Love them both tho. Thanks for posting.
