Timeline

1950

Canadian-born Paul Anka first achieved success in the 1950s as a teenage singing star (and, for the times, an unusual one in that he wrote many of his own songs).

1957

On September 7, 1957 he recorded his United States (network) and (overall) world TV premiere appearance, as himself, with host Ed Sullivan on The Ed Sullivan Show: Episode #10.50 (1957), which was broadcast the following day, September 8, 1957, just as his song, "Diana," was charting in the US (#1 on Billboard for one week in September) and the UK (#1 for nine weeks beginning in September). His first live appearance was broadcast on December 4, 1957, with hostess Patti Page, on The Big Record: Episode #1.12 (1957). Mistakenly, some believe his first overall TV appearance was on "Sunday Night at the London Palladium" (Val Parnell's Sunday Night at the London Palladium: Episode #3.13 (1957)) in the UK, but it was neither his first television appearance, nor was it his first live appearance, as it was broadcast on December 8, 1957, which was four days after the December 4, 1957 broadcast of "The Big Record." He sang his hit song "Diana" on both "The Big Record" and the "Palladium" shows, and both shows were live. "The Big Record" was his first live TV appearance in the US, or anywhere, "Palladium" was his first TV appearance (live or recorded) in the UK or Europe, and "The Ed Sullivan Show" was his overall worldwide television debut, happening three months before the two live shows in December 1957.

His song "Times of Your Life," originally a commercial jingle for Eastman Kodak Company's Kodak cameras in early 1975, was later released as a single (from his 1975 album of the same name) in late 1975, and became a Billboard hit in January 1976, when it hit #1 on Billboard's easy listening (adult contemporary) chart, and then peaking at #7 on Billboard's pop (Hot 100) chart in February 1976, remaining on Billboard's Top 40 for a total of 12 weeks. The song was written by Roger Nichols (music) and Bill Lane (lyrics).
