Paul Anka & Sammy Davis Junior - I'm Not Anyone - Live

Good RED Friday Noontime my RP Brothers and Sisters!

Earlier, I shared a song by a young Paul Anka, but this man has been a great composer, actor, as well as a singer... Along the way of his career, He wrote songs for Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and more... Anka wrote this song for Sammy Davis Jr. for one of Sammy's Television Specials...and later created the song with the two of them singing, which was done as a Tribute to his friend...

Background:
"Some songs that made the cut included Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life,” Lionel Richie’s “Hello” and Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven.” Even more dramatic were his transformations of “Wonderwall” by Oasis, “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden and Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

Among his proudest accomplishments was writing the Academy Award-nominated theme for The Longest Day, the 1962 film in which he also starred.

His later achievements as a recording artist included “Hold Me ‘Til the Morning Comes,” a hit duet with Peter Cetera in 1983, the Spanish-language album Amigos in 1996, and Body of Work, a 1998 duets album that featured Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, Patti LaBelle, Tom Jones and daughter Anthea Anka. If this wasn’t enough, it was revealed upon its release in 2009, that Anka co-wrote Michael Jackson’s posthumous #1 worldwide hit, “This Is It,” which has further cemented his place upon the most prolific and versatile songwriters of any generation."

"Paul Anka introduced this song in one of his live performances I was lucky to see. He called Sammy the GREATEST vocalists on earth! I never heard Sammy sing this song until after his death. I wish I would have seen him in person. What a talent. Paul Anka is one of the most wonderful songwriters of all time!" - Joyce DeSanctis
