All shows are subject to change. ABOUT PAUL ANKA Though he first emerged as a singer in the Sinatra mold, Paul Anka was really the first Justin Bieber — a '50s-era prototype for the teen idol. Born in Ottawa, Anka was determined to become a pop star before he hit high school, and after pounding the music-industry pavement in L.A. and New York, he scored an international No. 1 smash with the breezy, brassy confection, 'Diana,' released in 1957 on the eve of his 16th birthday. The hit streak would continue with charmingly self-deprecating ballads like 'Lonely Boy' and 'Put Your Head on My Shoulder.' As his style of innocent, prom-dance pop was displaced by the harder-edged rock 'n' roll sounds of the '60s, Anka also enjoyed a fruitful career as a composer, writing the theme song for The Tonight Show, as well as major hits for Tom Jones ('She's a Lady') and Frank Sinatra ('My Way').
