July 30: Paul Anka, 80

Anka, a crooner, songwriter and actor, is best known for penning such hit songs as “Diana,” “Lonely Boy” and “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” in the ‘50s and ‘60s. He also wrote the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and the English lyrics to the French song “My Way,” which became Frank Sinatra’s signature tune. More recently? Anka showed up on Fox’s reality talent show last year disguised as a stalk of broccoli. Why? He told UPI that “When the opportunity came about, I said, ‘Yeah, I want to get out of the house.’”
