Hits All Time Greatest Hits:30th Anniversary CollectionDec 11, 2008 This is a must buy album, the price is very good for 24 songs if you are a fan of Paul Anka like myself. Before I bought this album, I was not sure if I should buy it since the list of songs are all the same with his other albums which I already have. Then I heard the song Dance On Little Girl, it is totally different than the older version, this one have nice beat to it, that's when I decided to buy this album. Once I received the album, I heard all the songs, most of the songs are different than the older versions, I love every single song, I listen to them over and over again without getting bored. Unlike some older artists, Paul's voice is still very strong and smooth without efforts.

OriginalMar 02, 2008 I've order Paul Anka CD's previously and was disappointed to find out, after purchase, that some cuts were not original recordings. This one is all original and the songs bring me back to my high school days wnen folks danced close. Great Music!

fine single CD retrospectiveJan 02, 2008 Paul Anka's songs have endured the test of time; his albums still sell because of his great ability to sing beautifully and to make songs into small stories that capture the heart. This 30th anniversary celebration CD really gives us a lot of Paul Anka's best.
There truly are a number of highlights on this album. I really like "Diana;" this ballad rocks in the early `60s style as Paul sings his heart out. Paul never sings a superfluous note and the musical arrangement has great special effects. "You Are My Destiny" keeps the spotlight on Paul's early work; and the backup vocalists harmonize to perfection. Love those strings on "You Are My Destiny," too!
Moreover, listen for "Put Your Head On My Shoulder." This very romantic, slow dance ballad features Paul crooning as only a real pro can; and the beat is great! The backup chorus again bolsters Paul's performance. "Puppy Love" appeals to anyone who ever had a puppy love that adults pooh-poohed as being silly because the boy and the girl were so young. "Puppy Love" is a very cute number that I always held dear.
"Love Me Warm And Tender" now shows us how well a more mature Paul Anka could still make a song sound so wonderful. The chorus on "Love Me Warm And Tender" is flawless and I like the musical arrangement. In addition, "(You're) Having My Baby" is another great hit for Paul that he scored in his more mature years; and he delivers this with great sensitivity and panache.
"One Man Woman/One Woman Man" gets the royal treatment from Paul; and the album ends fittingly with Paul singing "My Way" to perfection. The piano arrangement works very well while Paul sings "My Way" so sweetly.
The liner notes include an essay by Ellis Widner; and the artwork is nicely done.
Overall, this single CD represents quite a celebration of Paul Anka and his music. He almost always wrote his own songs which makes his contributions to the arts even more special. I highly recommend this CD, especially for people who enjoy classic pop vocals.
