Paul Anka - It's Time To Cry (1959)

- One of the biggest teen idols of the late '50s, Paul Anka moved to the adult sphere several years later and became a successful performer, songwriter, music businessman, and recording artist, remaining so well into the new millennium. Born in Ottawa, Ontario, in 1941 to parents of Lebanese Christian descent who owned a local restaurant, Anka proved a child prodigy, beginning his show business life at the age of 12 as an impressionist. By the age of 14, he was stealing the family car to drive to amateur singing contests in nearby Hull, Quebec, and writing his own songs. His first single, "I Confess," appeared on the Riviera subsidiary of Jules and Joe Bihari's RPM label. While on a trip to New York with a group of friends who sang as the Rover Boys, Anka gained an audition with ABC producer Don Costa, and sang his own composition, "Diana," an ode to a former babysitter. Costa liked what he heard, recorded the teenager, and watched as the single hit number one on both sides of the Atlantic later in 1957, eventually selling a reported ten million copies worldwide.
Anka placed four songs in the Top 20 a year later, including "You Are My Destiny" and "Crazy Love," tempering the all-out rebellion of rock & roll with songs that questioned parental authority rather than promoting outright disobedience. He wrote one of Buddy Holly's last hits, "It Doesn't Matter Anymore," and moved into movies with Let's Rock and Girls Town. The latter film spawned his biggest American hit, "Lonely Boy," just the first in a string of 1959 chart successes including "Put Your Head on My Shoulder," "It's Time to Cry," and "Puppy Love" (written for old flame Annette Funicello, and later a hit for Donny Osmond as well).
By 1961, when the teen idol craze began to cool off, Anka (a millionaire while still a minor) could boast of the over 125 compositions under his belt, his own record label (Spanka), and the recognition of being behind the second-best-selling single of all time (only "White Christmas" had sold more copies than "Diana"). Instead of resting on his laurels, Anka took on the adult market. First, he groomed a solo act and got bookings into that haven for sophisticates, the Copacabana. Anka next moved to RCA and, in yet another shrewd business move, bought the rights to his old masters and made a fortune on reissues alone. He diversified his career by appearing in several more movie roles (including the 1962 drama The Longest Day, for which he provided the title song). One of the first pop singers to do shows in Las Vegas, he also hosted television variety shows like Hullabaloo, The Midnight Special, and Spotlite, and moved on to foreign audiences in Asia and Europe (where he found his wife, Parisian model Anne de Zogheb). He wrote the theme to The Tonight Show (aired every weeknight for almost 30 years), rewrote the French lyrics to the song "Comme d'Habitude" for one of Frank Sinatra's most famous later songs, "My Way," and also wrote Tom Jones' biggest hit, "She's a Lady." Anka also branched out in the recording studio, recording theme albums such as Excitement on Park Avenue and Strictly Nashville.
Although he had hit the Top 40 only once since 1963, Anka stormed the number one slot in 1974 with "(You're) Having My Baby," a duet recorded in Muscle Shoals, AL, with his singing protégée, Odia Coates. The duo's next two singles, "One Man Woman/One Woman Man" and "I Don't Like to Sleep Alone," both hit the Top Ten (his 1974 LP Anka reached gold), and his 1975 solo single "Times of Your Life" reached number seven. Anka charted into the early '80s, continuing his many casino and international appearances while recording sparingly but continually. As such, concert recordings and compilations constituted the bulk of his '80s and '90s discography, although he entered the studio also, most notably on the 2005 Verve date Rock Swings, a collection of contemporary standards. Its large success prompted a follow-up (of sorts), Classic Songs: My Way, from 2007, which included more contemporary standards as well as duets with Michael Bublé and Jon Bon Jovi. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

When somebody leaves you
That's the time to cry
When you know you're lonely
You're not the one and only
Who will cry
When your heart is broken
That's the time to cry
When you know she's left you
You'll know that she has left you
So you can cry
Happiness is what I long for
Loneliness is why I cry
For you have made my heart a slave
And now it's up to you
When somebody leaves you
That's the time to cry
When you know she's left you
You'll know that she has left you
So you can cry

Duke Lacrosse57 u even got 15 likes but here iam giving u 1 like more ur 16 now.XD
And I'm fairly certain that every generation of girls will at one point swoon over him until the end of time 😂😍😍
It's impossible not to, boys just remeber to say no homo.
We will never get boys like this back, boys so loving, sensitive and beautifully emotional. They will never come back. It's sad for me - a 21-th century girl missing people i have never met
Merci pour ce partage
Encore un excellent chanteur tel que je les aime
Quel plaisir d'entendre Paul Anka ce chanteur canado américain d'origine libanaise avec une voix très agréable à écouter
Super
It seriously shocks me he was only 18 when he wrote such iconic songs
he wrote his hit 'diana' when he was 15, i believe
Same Here
Ray not tryna be rude but he was 17
Haha but still that's just a child, quite impressive.
@@ebonielyon6989 wow i will do 15
I fucking love 50's women! Look at all those charming and mysterious looks they gave! 1:02
Moozy Mathers lol
Moozy Mathers Or the girl at 2:17 omg she’s so cute
Moozy Mathers the fact that all these people are either dead or really old and wrinkly :(
They old now but not wrinkly. Paul is still alive and he isn’t wrinkly
coz they are acting
2:42 is just such a beautiful moment lmao
This is the Paul Anka I picture when I remember him from my childhood. What great presence he has always had. ❤ He's been spellbinding since he was no more than 16years old, and that's a bit of a miracle in and of itself. (But I do wish he'd kept his God-given nose.)
2:43 (girl on the left) she looks at the other women and immediately stops smilling lol
*probs what she's thinking*
"Ahh~ yes such a fine tune, I love this song........oh look, it's that slut sister Karen, fucking hate that bitch"
bahahahhaaa
😆😆
Lmaoo
@@auralavish8335 the other girl smiled, they are probably just messing around 😂
He seems awfully happy singing a sad song
Mamie van Doren smiled at him. Of course he was happy! :D
John1948Ten very true!

@@John1948Ten Do you know who that girl is at 2.11 and 2.58?
Song Title: It's time to cry.
The Audience: Smiling in happiness and probably swooning over him lol

My grandma would put this song in her playlist. She still listens to this type of song
@Mark Honest I’m good, just woke up and it’s kind of cold here. I hope you’re also doing fine
@Mark Honest I’m from Philippines
why do these people look so majestic and elegant
Paul was and is great, what a talent! Canadians should be proud of him, Ann Murray, The Diamonds, Celine, Buble, and Gordon Lightfoot. Waay before Beiber.
April Black the crew cuts too

This lady looks like an actress. The way that she moves and look at him it's just so passionate, and she is so beautiful.
IKR! She kinda reminds me of Aurora 😂😂😂 She's so pretty
Thats because this was a movie called girls town
That girl really looks someone that I have met in real life
She is an actress lol that’s why she’s in this movie
What a beautiful voice! I wonder why seven hundred and seventy-nine people don't like this video.

I just really like Paul Anka’s old music, even though my mom wasn’t even born yet.

Paul grew up in Ottawa Ontario. Before he become big, my Dad ( who was about his age) said he sang on street corners. Dad said " That punk will never amount to anything. Dad said the same about Elvis.
Your dad call Anka a punk? Lol the audacity. He's such a heartthrob
I said the same about rap music.
Paul is such a heartthrob why your dad call him punk, Paul is cute and handsome
@@shedontknowbutsheknows6225 they are same age and Anka was just a street performer

I am 9 years old and i love listening old songs :)✨But my biggest idol is Paul Anka✨
No-one will ever get the handsomeness of a 50's/60's teenage boy ever again.
This is so beautiful and he sing this the year I was born. ❤😍❤🇮🇸
The 50's was such a vibe back then
I wish I could easily go back in time as paul anka sings this song in this very room. when everything seems to be ok..
I wish to live in this era. I wanna meet my younger grandpa and grandma ❤️
when your heart is broken that's the time cry
+Monica Costa Do you really think a man will cry because someone lies, or the heart is broken? These days if i cry because of any above-mentioned, people will think i am a gay. Just my opinion.
Who cares what people think?....that's just my opinion. ..
I was six years old when Paul Anka sang this song - as the years went by I just carried on listening to Paul and have never really stopped. Paula Anka you rock my world!!
Paul Anka, my Idol since forever, a wonderful singer, a wonderful person, I love to listen to songs performed by him. Zosia
God bless You 💕 Paul Anka wherever You are thanks for Your wonderful melodies !!!
Beautiful and heart touching song❤❤Hello from Scotland!.
How are you doing today? I guess you have a great passion for music just like I do? I hope to hear from you soon!!!
I have a great collection of his long plays" discos de acetato greetings and blessings since México to Canadá
I am really in awe at the talents Canada has produced, credit to the oldies first Paul Anka, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Ian Tyson, Ann Murray, Leonard Cohen the list could go on and on.....incredibly talented but Canada is much underrated by the press!
Agree, Canadian singers deserve more recognition
my 69 year old science teacher was talking about how she misses music from when she was a kid and i see where she’s coming from 🐸
we saw him a few yrs ago, he was GREAT in concert, wonderful songs, and even sang as he walked off the stage onto the seating floor amongst the crowds, as he got back on stage he turned around and quipped "thanks for the pinch in the ass!" ha ha!!
Been a fan of his songs all my life
He was pretty good
What's your favorite song by him?
The same can happen to her,he leaves her and then she's the one left crying 💔 😭
i was a little girl when I heard his songs. how much I love to know he is still alive .and singing
Hello Gloria 👋 how are you ??
Been a fan of his songs all my life

This looks like Paul was singing this in a movie. Its a lovely song. He was cute even when he was very young, It seems he has something that the girls/women really go for.❤
Wonder nobody called him a sand nigga or something like that in your racist xenophobic Middle East hating country
Hello Joyce
2024 y espero escucharlo en el 2059!!!!! a 100 años de este éxito!!!
omg Paul is amazing dude I would love to be born in that time
i love old songs like these because back then they didn't sing about inappropriate things and it makes me sad to realize what our society has turned into
AudAud123 AJ what has it turned into? Wouldn’t be good if everything stayed the same would it lol
AudAud123 AJ you look like a ten year old who just copied someone else’s comment not knowing what your on about
@@Balistikrust actually, it would
I LOVE OLD SONG'S❤️
I am 18 years old and I like to listen to this music because I'm handsome like my family used to be back in 1944's
This got recommended to me in a not so good time and this makes me want to cry
You know what? I can’t. I just can’t. I have to do it now because EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO ONE OF PAULS SONGS I FEEL MORE AND MORE SINGLE AND NOW IM GONNA FINALLY CRY
Hope you doing good and staying safe.....!
Thank you for your love and support ❤️
WOW beautiful they say is in the eyes of the beholder, you are really beautiful what a beautiful eyes going together with your smile
Saudades dos Anos 50 e 60 , quando eu não existia 😍
também sinto
Bem interessante o comentário 🥰🥰
Vdd
Eu também ❤❤❤
This man is 80 years old and I still have a FAT JUICY CRUSH ON HIS YOUNGER SELF. No because all we got now are weird boys why can't have another Paul Anka?
I know so many teen boys today who still dress like this and are so pure and sweet. They said it's because they know deep in they're heart, they are 50's babies.
ok but tf is that girl doing at 2:35
That girl is Mamie Van Doren and I believe she is flirting.
"I'm gonna rip my wig out for you, cupcake. "
Ava Underdahl HAHAHA
feelin hot
She is beautiful the lovely Mamie Van Doren
This man is older than my great grandma and she 72!!! I'm shocked but I love his music
You must be very young then cuz your great grandma was just 72.
Meanwhile my great grandma passed away at the age of 98 in the year 2011
Old is gold.
Who is agree
This is the chief reason why I've seen "Girls' Town' many times over. If you have loved and lost someone very special in life, this song is for you. The years pass you by, your heart may heal, but the memories never ever leave you. This Paul Anka rendition is one of the very best in his vast music repertoire. Oh yes, this is the only movie where Mamie Van Doren got a chance to really display her acting chops. She was hilarious in parts, but one did feel sympathy towards her character in the finale.
I don't recall ever seeing a movie with this name. Where do you watch it? TCM, maybe?
Красавчик ! Без всякой фонограммы ! А девчёнки какие классные !

Paul Anka - It's Time To Cry (1959)
Wonderful mv!! thank you very much for sharing.
I am now age 85 so perhaps Paul Anca will have many memories of the past and recognise me as a Great Grandfather living on his own to ensure I live a long and active life.
I wish I was born at that era where paul anka smile from tv made my day
I feel something in my heart when he sings who else? -Ashlynn ❤️
Thank you
can I teleport back in his time? 😭😭💖💖
Happiness is what I longed for ..
Loneliness is why I cry 🎶💕💕
Don't u love these songs from a man who has a lady in every town...Those days we ladies couldn't speak about our our feelings......But they knew there man was a famous big
Paul Anka was a gorgeous man and gifted and i love his style of singing because he knew how to embrace a song with passion.
I had a friend who cried when he Heard this song. His sweetheart and him had just Split he later told me. It occured some fifty two years ago. Hearing this song made me recall that. Very Sentimental and nice.
Eine Endentkung !! Einfach Wunderlich !!! ❤❤
I miei tredici anni vissuti con le sue canzoni e ho avuto la fortuna di sentirlo e vederlo di persona che emozione indimenticabile
I am so sad i havent lived at that time cause this is amazing
