After you get to a certain age,its hard to get airplay.Paul Anka is still turning out great music,but only his fans know that."Its hard to say goodbye,"that Paul wrote, is the greatest duet Celine has ever recorded.Paul Anka's voice is just as strong as Celine's.I only heard this cut once,and loved it right away,that's what made me buy "Body of Work." "Do I love you," with Anthea Anka is another beutifull number,along with the Frank Sinatra duet ,"My Way," that Paul wrote for Frank.My cousin Bella who lives in Las Vegas has seen hundred of shows,from Elvis to Diana Ross. The greatest performer she's ever seen is Paul Anka.I just saw Paul's live show on a PBS special.I believe she's right.

As a long time Anka fan I welcome any of his new work. I find this CD extremely enjoyable. A great easy listening "Body of Work". It seems the radio stations have caught on too judging by the playing of the duet with Celine Dion. Hopefully, this will open the way for further playing of Mr. Anka's work on the airwaves--particularly the first five songs of the CD. It is also great to hear My Way with Frank Sinatra. I hope this CD encourages more releases for Paul Anka so more people can enjoy and become aware of his talent. His love songs sound like they really come from the heart.

I used to be big fan of Paul when I was a teenager and I used to play the "Times of my life" LP all day. I had somehow lost track of his music, but I had the chance to see him in concert two years ago (down here, in my country! ) and he said he was releasing this CD. I bought it as soon as it reached this place, and have been playing very often since then. The first song, dedicated to his wife, is absolutely beautiful. I love the duet with Peter Cetera, and it was a bonus to find Barry Gibb's voice in "Do I love you". I enjoy "She's a lady" together with Tom Jones, and the new version of "Let me get to know you" is great. This is a CD you never get tired of. Paul Anka is a fantastic songwriter, a wonderful singer that conveys all his emotion in every track, and an incredible showman that gives his heart and his soul on stage.

easy listening enjoyable in the car or at home One of my favorite cd's of Anka's a real pleaser "Do I Love You" is a
song everyone can relate to (I hope)

I saw Paul Anka in Las Vegas opening night, June 17th. What a show! Unbelievable performance and production! After the show I purchased the CD a "Body of Work"! Incredible piece of work. I was only familiar with the Paul Anka of the 50's and 60's. This is a totally new Paul Anka - I listen over and over to this CD. Often listeners will skip from song to song on a CD - not with this one -every song is great. The first piece dedicated to his wife, the one with this daughter and the duet with Frank S. are special. I just don't have enough words of praise for this exceptional piece of work!!

One of his best cd's. All the tracks are fantastic. He rearranged Let Me Get to Know You....much better than the original from the 70's. A must have

This is one of Pauls best. His Duets with Celine, Tom and Frank are great. A Must have for True Anka Fans.

I found this album to be one of the best Paul has put out in a long time. With a blend of old standards updated and new songs. It just makes the die-hard Paul fan get up and sing! The remixes of his songs You Are my Destiny and Do I Love You? done with his daughter Anthea, make this album a blend of taste and class. And that's what he has with this one Taste and class. You've done it again Paul!!!

I first bought this CD when it came out, a month later I had to have a tape for my car. I'm now buying a 2nd for a gift to a friend. I've seen Paul perform several times and have many of his CD's. Mr. Anka never dissappoints and seems to be just getting better and better with each new release.

This is the best album I have heard ever! My wife loves it and so do all my friends. His duets with the big stars and his daughter are outragous. BUY IT, BUY IT, BUY IT!!!
