He wrote Holly's last hit, and just missed joining the rocker on his final, fatal plane flight. Anka also stepped in front of the camera in the teen beach-party movie era, scoring the movies and romancing their starlets, including Annette Funicello. When the British invasion made his fans swoon for a new style of music - and musician - Anka made sure he wasn't conquered. A rapier-canny businessman and image-builder who took his career into his own hands - just as he had from the very beginning, swiping his mother's car at fourteen to drive himself, underage, to his first gigs in Quebec - Anka toured the world until he could return home in triumph. A charter member of the Rat Pack, he wrote the theme music for The Tonight Show as well as his friend Frank Sinatra's anthem \u003ci\u003eMy Way\u003c\/i\u003e. By the 1970s, a multi-decade string of pop chart-toppers, including \u003ci\u003ePuppy Love\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e(You're) Having My Baby\u003c\/i\u003e, cemented his status as an icon.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919327150238,"sku":"ING-9781250044495","price":38.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781250044495.jpg?v=1782810156","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781250044495","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
