solters, o?╟╓rourke 8c sabinson, inc. pubii^y-pubnc relations 62 w. 45 st?╟? new york, n. y. 10036 TN 7-8500 PAUL ANKA At the age of 23, Paul Anka is already a star of inter- national magnitude who fills theatres and supper clubs in all the capitals of the Western World. His career, launched so dramatically, has more than sustained its original momentum, and has brought him the praise of critics and audiences every- where. While still a boy of 15, Ottawa-born Anka wrote and recorded "Diana" and exploded into showbusiness as a full-fledged head- liner. The song became a nine million record-seller and occupied the No. 1 position of every best-seller chart in the nation for 13 consecutive weeks and enjoyed similar fame in no less than 20 foreign countries. This was the beginning for the remarkable Anka. He has since made several immensely successful personal appearance tours of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, The Philippine Islands, Japan, Panama, Poland and Puerto Rico. A more recent highlight of his eventual professional life was a six-city tour of Poland, at the special invitation of that country's government, making him the first popular entertainer to perform behind Poland's Iron Curtain. -more- los angeles: 259 south beverly drive ?╟≤ beverly hills.
