Paul Anka: Summer's Gone

[27jengirl]

awesome song of Paul Anaka

[coo12808]

WHAT A TALENT!! Can sing, can compose songs, and also can p[lay several insturments. How many "rock 'n' rollers" can you say that about? (I'm sure that he can sing, dance and act as well!)

[javiere22]

Pretty much sums it up for me right now

[leopili100]

un sueño hecho cancion gracias paul

[1959oldies]

Marita, pää pystyyn ! Palaat vielä You Tubeen, olen aika varma. Rakastan Sinua yhtä kaikki, ja Sinullakin on tunteet. "Sinun Johnnysi/ Mr.Moonisi" ei unohda "Lady Sunshinea, Mamaa". Rakkaudella xxxxxxx

[aghnifrid]

Wasn't Paul Anka the first pop idol to write his own songs? Just like the upcoming bands and al most every act that followed? I resent the fact that those musicians don't pay tribute to Paul Anka. He is the true teen idol.For me, Paul Anka has always been in the heights of the Olympus! Thanks for posting Paul Anka, more popular than Elvis or any other in Latin America.

[wad44]

@aghnifrid you are perfectly right he was and is still the greatest. You will be surprised to read generally unknown facts about his music about his life on my multiply site "paulankathebest" any Paul Anka fan is welcome. Just follow the link from my profile.

[birdflew377]

@wad44 OHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I remember all his music, I grew up with it, slow dances. High school, parties, innocence of youth!! Does it even exsist anymore? C McD

[wad44]

@birdflew377 it's the same for me, and yes, it exist still, but unfortunately just in our soul in our memories.

[birdflew377]

@birdflew377 Nice to hear from you @wad44, and yes you are right!! I hope your having a wonderful holiday week-end. C McD

First time I heard PA was when I was in Grade 4. He was singing Diana. It was love at first "hear". I devoured all his subsequent compositions. On vacation with my aunt in summer of '61, I brought with me my Paul Anka LP (I think it was titled 21 Greatest Hits) and fell in love with "Summer's Gone".  I regret having neglected to save my 45s and LPs of Paul Anka. Now I have to scramble for CDs and remixes. Verboten is also a favorite.

[wad44]

@jnm100kph It happened the same with me, but I kept collecting his songs and at this moment I have almost every officially released song by Paul Anka. Surely you will enjoy many of them on my Multiply website.

[ermusngi1]

Hi wad44. maybe you can post "Les Filles de Paris" That would be nice too. Thanks

[wad44]

@ermusngi1  Hi check out my videos, Les Filles De Paris was already uploaded. Thanks for your comment

[felixbautista]

.Enjoyed playing to this again and kept it in my faves channel. Thank you as ever.

[maryev1]

y r there no songs like this today?

[wad44]

@maryev1 the answer is simple, that time the music was made by enthusiast talented young people, today is made by computer aided technicians.

[CHOLITACHULA]

@wad44 Hi, I agree

[PsychoDollsSoCal]

aww reallyy nicee songg (:

[maryev1]

not always

[wad44]

you are right, but let's hope always for something better

[maryev1]

great but sad  end of summer and end of love

[wad44]

an end is the beginning of something new, and that new can be better than what we left behind,

[jhvandehey]

All-time favorite from Paul & It has to be the ABC Paramount version.

This had it all-great orchestration, nostalgic lyrics and beautiful melody creating such memories.

Can the music of the late 50's/early 60's ever be matched? I get lost in it. Doo wop, Motown, the girls' groups. Great stuff.

This was from 1960, my sophomore year in HS-when all I remember thinking about was girls; all I remember watching was Bandstand.

John: raised in Wisconsin; retired in Tucson

[wad44]

@jhvandehey , yes it's the ABC Paramount version, always preferred by me. Those were the days!! We are lucky to lived in those years of true feelings and really talented artists. No doubts, these days there are talented people too, but they are hard to found, great talent nowadays is not enough for success.

[davidwalsh66]

i love his records the orchestrations are always first class. and he never fails to please.

[TheMisskitty1987]

Thank you for posting it, brings so many memories back

[brianhaack011]

gone from my arms, gone from my lips but still in my heart

[felixbautista]

One of my most-liked songs from Paul.. thanks for uploading.

[stanich054]

The strings and great background vocals make this a great song along with Pauls incredible composing skills

[tilinguette]

End of summer is in the air ..and today I remembered this hit...and listening to it again after so many decades brings back all the joy from those days.

Really moving.

Thank you so much for posting it.

[wad44]

[waterforpeople]

My first crush at 6 years old. Love him still ;-)

[klintos2]

Summer 1960, senior year coming and I moved from Detroit to Los Angeles. Big mistake. Bright lights and big city not for "Greaseball Jr". I sure miss that old gang of mine(Guys I hung with). I am just a "Blue Collar" Motown kind of fella. Paul Anka said it best. Summer is gone. I wax poetic. Beautiful song and Anka is nothing but great.

[HydrowolfTD]

man, its things like that that make me wish i lived my youth in a better time, not today...

[felixbautista]

Thanks for posting- this is one of my faves among Paul's ballads

[jukeboxman1950]

you guys that commented on this have great taste in music! Almost anything between 54' to 62' is great music! Thanks for the post & keep on posting this good music especailly if it's off the original 45!

[tosagua]

Wow! I graduated from high school in the U.S. in 1957 as a foreign student. This song brings back fond memories. My heart pounded again after 51 years remembering my sweet 17 year old girl then. Her name was Karen. If she reads this she'll remember how much we enjoyed it together and will surely know who I am. I wish her the best!!!

[dowopper51]

PERFECT, even the flip was PERFECT! Actually Paul was PERFECT!

[stanich054]

Romance  pure romance!

[maffia1212]

Dear God: PLEASE bring back music like this

[wad44]

Agree, thank you for the comment

[rougeboi]

AMEN

[felixbautista]

Thanks for posting- I've been searching for this song for a long time. Will you be so kind to post "I Love Paris" too ? Thanks in advance and more power to you.

[wad44]

Thank you for your comment, yes I will post I Love Paris for you as soon as I can

[waterforpeople]

Paul Anka was my first crush... I was six years old :-). Love him.

[wad44]

He was mine first crush too and he still is

[RobinEP94]

This is my favourite song by Paul Anka atthe time. He's great!

[wad44]

Glad that you like it, I like too each version, but I think this one is the best

[RobinEP94]

Yes, i think so too. Both of'em are great, but I like his voice so much in this version.

[sherom]

This is Pauls first recording of this gem, the second recording he made is more saloonish, like in the style of Sinatra. If you listen close, you can here the influence Sinatra had on this multi talented song writer/singer. I have seen Anka twice in concert, as far as entertainers are concerned, he is the best.

[rougeboi]

I've been looking all over for this song.. I love it! I have the picture sleeve but not the gem of a record...thanks so much for posting it.

[jc5517]

Hi wad44, thnx for posting this song, SUMMER'S GONE sung by Paul Anka..

[wad44]

Thank you for your kind comment, someone was looking for this song, that's why I uploaded it. I always like more the ABC Paramount versions of his songs. Sometimes there is a big difference (like Diana or I Love You Baby), and sometime it's hard to notice the difference, (like You Are My Destiny). Anyway, I like better always the first, original versions recorded at ABC Paramount

[missohio83]

I love this song!!! I thought it was Eve that posted this at first until I looked over and seen it was you! I actually can never decide which version I like better...this one or the RCA version. They are both great!
