在多的西洋歌星中，台我衷心佩服崇拜的偶像，大概就只是Paul Anka ( 保安卡 ) 了。所英雄出少年，Paul Anka在14 ( 1956 ) 就出了第一首曲《I Confess》，然未能造佳，而次年即以自曲《Diana》在英美排行榜分一、二名，自此一成名 ( 也才15 )。更人道的是，Diana有其人，是比他年5的同教的女孩Diana Ayoub，由於方根本未他放在眼，Anka在暗的心情下出此曲。有人 ( 也可能是掰的 )，《Diana》首歌成功後，Diana Ayoub回向Anka示好，但Anka未再理她，倘果如此，那真的是太酷了！

Paul Anka才洋溢，除了自己，也替人歌。像Tom Jones非常知名的曲《She's a Lady》，就是他作的曲；Frank Sinatra的招牌歌《My Way》的歌，也是出於他的作 ( 原法文歌曲 )。唯他Buddy Holly的《It Doesn't Matter Anymore》，因Holly意外的摔死亡，他懊悔不已。

1959，18的Paul Anka又以《Lonely Boy》及《Put Your Hand on My Shoulder》下美排行榜的一、二名。1960，再以《Puppy Love》得。此首《My Home Town》亦1960行的曲，然只到第8名，也是歌友所熟悉Anka的曲。

Paul Anka出生於渥太 ( Ottawa ) 的利裔加拿大人。1972，位於渥太的一街道被命名「Paul Anka Drive」。1981，渥太市8月26日「Paul Anka Day」，以表彰他近四分之一世的演事。而有趣的是，Paul Anka似乎不太加之情，1990年准化美籍，成了美人。

I took a little trip to my home town
I only stopped to look around
And as I walked along the thorough-fare
There was music playing ev'rywhere
The music came from within my heart
How did it happen how did it start
I only know that I fell in love
I guess the answer lies up above

Oh what a feeling
My heart was reeling
The bells were ringing
The birds were singing

And so the music keep goes on and on
And through the night until the break of dawn
I hear a bird up in the tree
He sings a pretty little melody

Oh what a feeling
My heart was reeling
The bells were ringing
The birds were singing

And so the music keep goes on and on
And through the night until the break of dawn
And every evening when the sun goes down
I'm with my love in my home town

And so I sing
Ya-ya-ya-ya...
