“Goodnight My Love” (Paul Anka) #27 2/22/1969

Paul Anka was a star in the early days of rock and roll with hits like “Diana” and “Lonely Boy.” But like so many, the British Invasion put a huge dent in his career. He didn’t even have a moderate hit for years until this remake of a Jesse Belvin R&B classic. However, it would be Anka’s last Top 40 single until 1974’s “(You’re) Having My Baby.” In the meantime, Paul composed the English language lyrics to “My Way,” a signature song for both Frank Sinatra and Elvis.
