Anka's 83, and speaks like a man 20 years younger than that. We're lucky to have these clear-headed revelations from a legend who knew all the other legends of his time.
Dude looks fantastic!
Aged well
@@jasonezane50rz, it's called plastic surgery/ and botox.
@@texasgirl6000actually, it's called men age like wine and women age like milk.
@@texasgirl6000 surgery and plastic cant fix a brain though, and he seems pretty sharp for his age
It’s refreshing to hear an old time singer not sounds like a crazy person. He can tell a story without him being the hero. He sounds like a regular great uncle
Charlton Heston i wish he was my great uncle
That's what happens when you are a Canadian!
Or just a regular, down-to-earth person, which Paul Anka is. He's smart, intelligent and talented. And it doesn't have to be like an "uncle." Paul Anka's just a regular guy.
@@lindadechiazza2924 Charlton heston was a asshead.....Anka is a real deal
No delusion or plastic surgery
There still is no one like Elvis today!❤
@evahatfield9477
And never will be.💙
He was a hunka hunka burnin love
@@Johnnylund1 Would you have done better morally? He loved Jesus and was always kind and humble. Unless you can show me where he was arrogant
@@Johnnylund1. It´s very rare to find someone who really sings that is a composer. You can count on your fingers. Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Pavarotti among others. Regarding his life, you are a complete ignorant about it, it´s very clear.
@@Johnnylund1 where was his blueprint though for him to act the best? It's easier to judge when you see the after math but he did alright for being one of the first rockstars
Bro knew the Beatles and Elvis, what a life
And Sinatra and Bobby Darin. All legends. Amazing
They knew him! Paul is a legend in his own right
@@NickyMetropolis1313I wonder if he preformed withJohnny Tilotson and Ricky Nelson. I can’t seem to find for the life of me anything with them doing a duet.
Elvis was just absolutely awesome. Such a fantastic artist!!
I could listen to Paul Anka reminisce for years. Such a great interview. You hit gold with this one, Bill.
Read his book it is great
Wow. Just wow! Paul Anka‘s insight into those days with segregation, his love of music and just his unique experience meeting the Beatles early on. These are incredible stories
I saw Elvis, Live in concert at Notre Dame, the year before he died. I was 8 years old…but will never forget it…he was incredibly talented and an amazing Showman!
Bill Burr's question turned into 17 questions before he stopped talking lol. Great clip of these two.
Exactly
Terrible interviewer.
After all these years, Elvis is still the man!
Not REALLY 😅
RCA had the best artists back then
@@mikewhite4560 Of course, not everyone’s gonna like the guy, but it’s clear he was the biggest of deals.
@@benmoore42 NO BLEEP, says a Dude who has Visited GRACELAND, Seen SHAMELESS & marveled at AUSTIN BUTLER'S Elvis Portait.
@@mikewhite4560yo mikeblack you got something to say about the Little Boy Collector or the Queen of Crack.
Interesting video as I have rarely heard Paul Anka talk. One thing that is often mistakenly said is that Elvis returned from the Army in 1960 and found The Beatles had taken over. The Beatles first became huge in the UK in 1963 and then the US 1964, while Elvis had another 10 or so huge global hits in that time.
Elvis had hits throughout the 60s and 70s. When the Beatles had been broken up for 2 years, Elvis sold out Madison Square garden as a solo artist 3 nights in a row. The following year he had the Aloha From Hawaii special. He won grammys in the 60s. He was one of the biggest touring acts of the 70s.
@@NickyMetropolis1313As much as I love Elvis, you can’t knock the Beatles talent.
@@jemmajames6719 Of course not. Arguably the best band ever. But the arguments some of their fans make are silly. Even the arguments from the Beatles themselves are highly immature.
Lennon said Elvis died in the army. No John, Elvis voice got better and bigger, he won grammys and had tons of hits after the army.
George Harrison said Elvis was wearing a costume with a big cape in NY 1972 and said something like Elvis should have just come out with his old faded jeans like when he did the Louisiana hayride! This coming from a band who's fans said they missed the moptops when the 4 lads were doing psychedelic Sgt Pepper (in costume of course).
Paul said Elvis was in his "flakey period" in the 70s. Aloha from Hawaii, Paul. Called by critics "restrained (vocal) perfection.
Elvis in the 70s, several albums, dozens of live shows, 2 award winning documentaries. This all while the Beatles called it quits.
Beyond that, many criticized Elvis for the Vegas residency meanwhile EVERYONE nowadays does Vegas including Paul and as hard rock as ACDC does too. What Elvis did is only now starting to be appreciated on its artistic merits.
@@jemmajames6719 There is no doubt about the Beatles talent. But it's true that they started out as a 50s cover band (I've seen their songlist at the Beatles museum in Liverpool), and were going nowhere until they were teamed up with a musician of the calibre of George Martin, who did the arrangements for most of their songs.
@@HBD1980 He added things they didn’t know and the polish, but I certainly don’t agree they would have faded into obscurity with their songwriting and performing talent. I’ve never visited the museum not that interested but my kids went as part of the school curriculum! I suppose it’s now part of our cultural heritage. My Dad saw them at the start of their fame in 63 when they had a couple of their first singles hit the charts he camped out all night for tickets then couldn’t hear anything because of the screaming girls!
Mind blown 🤯 on one hand it’s sad that all his friends are dead but on the other dang! What a frickin life!!! He ran with the best of ‘em 🎉
Elvis IS the man..!
This was a wonderful interview, Mr. Anka is well spoken and it was really fun to catch a glimpse into his life.
On the other hand, Bill Burr was tongue-tied and inarticulate.
Can't believe how good he looks. I'm sure he's had work done but it looks natural.
I used to cook Paul Anka for him all the time in the 80s
Who'd you cook Paul Anka for?
@@johnwockenfuss2303 ya I was correcting and sent before i looked kind of had that backwards didn't I, ha ha
Paul Anka looks and sounds like a million bucks. Somewhere he's found that fountain of youth!
Epic! The history this man knows and has been a part of. Gives me goosebumps!
He's seen, and took part in, a lot of history. Didn't realize he started that for back. Discovering The Beatles in Paris and realizing they were something special. Paul Anka is a special guy.
Bill has so much respect for the old school. Knocked it outtah da pahk with this one.
Still Elvis is the “it” guy after all these years! No one better, greater, or more charismatic … the goat!
Absolutely. Elvis and the Beatles are IT for me. Nothing compares.
@@yellyman5483elvis has probably the greatest male voice of any solo artist in rock and roll ever. And the beatles are the best band/best pop and rock songwriters ever.
@@Jay-lr3me I agree.
Elvis is so unique
Okay, never really knew what type of guy Anka was in real life, but he's sharp af. Nice !
Great way of putting it,(it wasn't a media, driven society back then.....love that!,today we hear and know about everything, especially all the scary crime going on in the world.....Elvis was one of a kind, they don't make them like that anymore!🙂.l like Paul Anka, he seems like a real great guy!
I love how Paul Anka is so candid and honest. My mom had a record of his, and also Elvis records, like White Christmas. I remember Anka’s record being of red color. I met his daughter once at the BMW dealership in Van Nuys. She was so down to earth and nice. I rented a car to her at the dealership, until her car was repaired. Yes, Budget rented cars from there, with permission from BMW.
Bills best interview EVAAAH!
Takes him 5 minutes to wind up before a question comes out.
I don't know a lot about Anka, but watching and listening to this, I say the man must be doing very well for his age. Doesn't look like a guy who was making it in '56!
Mr. Anka needs to tell us where The Fountain of Youth is because it's obvious, he's found it.
Until then I'll settle for stories of his interesting life & fabulous friends. Elvis, The Beatles...icons of music history & so is the talented Mr. Anka.
💙💫💙💫💙💫💙💫💙💫💙
As the Beatles said before Elvis their was nothing he paved the way for everybody else.
KING OF MUSIC ELVIS PRESLEY Was Indeed The Blue Print To Being The GREATEST AND MOST TALENTED MUSIC ICON, LEGEND ENVIED BY Every Other Singer And Actor IN THE WORLD. INCLUDING PAUL ANKA. As John Lennon said '' Before Elvis There was Nothing ''. STILL To This Day No One Can Touch The KING OF MUSIC ELVIS AARON PRESLEY. ''FOREVER HE WILL REIGN KING OF MUSIC''.
Elvis is only entertainer with no peers
In some ways Hank Williams was the precursor of Elvis.
Elvis the best always… no one has, had, and ever will come close to his magnificent performances and beautiful heart! Besides, the time has passed…Elvis did it when there was no rock and roll! He made it. Bill Haley had “rock around the clock” yet when he heard about Elvis, it is said that he turned to his guys and said that they were finished because an astounding young and handsome singer was coming up in Memphis! I am paraphrasing; yet that is the gist of it.
Amen
CAPS LOCK ON off off off ON ON off then ON AGAIN but just FOR TWO WORDS for some reason.
Elvis IS the Mountain only the Beatles were able to climb and they were 4! Elvis is Rock N Roll !
What a great interview, i didnt realise bill would be such a natural interviewer , he asked great questions of paul and allowed him to reply and it made it all relaxed and honest .
allowed him to reply, wow....
Elvis has no equal
Last weekend I came across a guy, little Italy, San Diego, singing Put your head on my shoulder. He was a curb singer. He had amazing voice. And the memory came in when my mom played Paul’s records, when I was a kid. Paul, Connie, Bobby Vinton. Late 60- ties. Great music. We lived in Poland then, and the records were contraband. Imagine that. Such a treat to come along this conversation. Thanks guys.
Before anyone did anything Elvis did everything.
Darbyheavey,what the hell are you talking about, you need a history lesson. How can you say there was nothing before Elvis, lets try this That's All Right, Good Rocking Tonight, Let's Play House, Hound Dog, I want you,I need you,I love You, Don't Be Cruel,All Shook Up for starters.
Absolutely, 100%
Paul Anka really has lived a fascinating life. To know the Beatles before they were famous and to know Elvis in the early years. Not to mention Chuck Berry and Fats Domino. That's heady stuff. And here he is still so alive and vital. 1.o
I agree...he was there for it all and still around in good health. Thats amazing!
Wow, that interview just kept getting better...Someone needs to spend a couple days with Paul...There's a lifetime of history in that man...Those names he just layed out, that he was "HANGIN" with were some of the most important figures in music.
Yes!! Especially while he can still remember everything so clearly.
The difference between Elvis and all the rest; is that Elvis could do all genres of music and sound great!
He was music man the rest were karaoke
@@anunturipubli7997 LOL, love that comment😊😊😊😊
@@Patracat aint that right?
And he did. HE did every music genre at some point.
@@anunturipubli7997 absolutely!!!!
This was very interesting. I could listen to Paul talking about Elvis and the Beatles for days. Especially since The Beatles and Elvis are my two favorite artists.
I remember hearing that story several times about Elvis shooting the TV, but I didn’t know he was shooting at Bob Goulet on TV! 😂 Evlis did hate competition.
I knew the Bob G. story years ago
Elvis never hated the competition. He always said there was room for everyone and I NEVER heard him talk trash about anyone. He didn't like Robert Goulet, who, by the way, was NO competition for Elvis, because R.G. just sang so unemotionally.
Great interview with one of the few remaining first hand witnesses to the actual inception of pop culture.
I haven't seen or heard anything from Mr Anka in years. What a great surprise. All the best to Bill and Paul
Thank you Paul ,for writing " It Doesn't Matter Anymore " for Buddy Holly. 🙂❤
Great interview! I have loved PAUL ANKA forever! Saw him perform Diana at Palasades Park in New Jersey in 1957!!
Great to hear Mr. Anka . He looks and sounds fantastic.
What a great conversation!!!
Amazing Mr Anka in his early 80s!
You have to love Paul Anka. And Bill Burr.
Paul Anka was also a good friend of Buddy Holly's and wrote the last song he ever recorded.
Great conversation! Few realize that Paul Anka wrote the theme to the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Can you imagine the residuals? 5 days a week for decades, plus reruns!
Don't they now get less and less with each time. I think I remember something like that.
@@onpsxmember I hope not, but it wouldn’t surprise me
Do you know how Paul got that gig?
@@TheWhollymoly No, do tell
@@michaelgregory2231 Paul Anka is Jason Bateman's father in law, he was on Jason's podcast called Smartless (with Will Arnnet and Sean Hayes, very funny) he was a guest on there a few weeks back and he talked about writing the Johnny Carson theme song in great detail, plus he talks about how he wrote "I'll do it my way" for Sinatra, he has so many interesting stories from the past, very good story teller.
I could listent to these two talk for days on end
Hey Bill, who woulda known you're a good listener
and interviewer? please show the full interview,
PA is a wealth of the history of R+R !
That TV is in the archives at Graceland.
Elvis the greatest of all time, the king❤
The man looks good for 81
I know, Wow!
Fantastic interview!! I didn't want it to stop
Saw Paul at a private performance. He was stellar. The man’s voice is stunning despite age.
More details please! :-)
@@matthalpin1981 A birthday party for a very wealthy person.
I love how you can see Bill trying to keep his s**t together when Mr Anka casually says how he was hanging with the Beatles. I know how he feels. Totally mind-blowing.
Great voice Mr Paul Anka thank you so much for the great music 🎶
Paul Anka’s autobiography My Way is a must read. The man has some great stories to tell.
Elvis was supremely talented, a freaking gIant, no was saying that stuff back then.
This interview was terrific. When Paul said when he sat down with Elvis and then the early Beatles I fell off my chair.
Elvis ❤🙏🇺🇸. 1#
That was a very good conversation. Bill’s natural enthusiasm for music was perfect without being Sycophantic.Howard Stern take note.
What a treat this interview was!! really great!
Paul Anka ROCKS!
Wow. So good to see Paul Anka!! Still so handsome , love his stories
Wow ! Paul Anka - a music legend. Read in comments he's 81 - boy, he's a pretty sharp 81. He truly spanned a lot of changes in music during his on-going career. Great Canadian Ambassador.
Paul, you are a living legend! Thanks for the great memories. Bill, You still are coming into your own. Love the good cloths too. Class act now.
Sometimes Bill looks like he's in awe that he's having a conversation from someone stuck in the middle of that part of history.
Who wouldn't be!
En español por favor 🙏 para toda el habla hispana
I need this whole interview .. the stories that Canadian could tell .. !!
Paul Anka was on Smartless not long ago & I've re listened to it 3 times. Amazing!
I have heard so many stories of Canadians going to the Southern US and being shocked by segregation. To my parents, and even my grandparents, generations that was a foreign concept.
paul is one of the best songwriter ever...
This interview is gold. Anymore?
Wow what an insight to those experiences. Great interview dude 👍🏻
Elvis also had an Operatic voice and a country voice and created his own style. The king of music versatility ,, inducted into 5 music halls of fame. And of course the King of record sales- no one else comes close!
Awesome...Love Bill Burr too. Man what stories Paul has.
Great interview I could listen to them for hours
What a legend
Paul Anka is such an incredible witness to major historic events in music and in in general. Great interview, Bill!
When Bill is speechless that means he met and learned from someone else. Bill is an incredible comedian but Paul Anka, a Canadian, had the flow and Bill just followed his wake. This was an incredible interview. Paul is Paul but Bill showed his vulnerability and appreciation. That is all that matters folks.
This was a great episode
Loved this interview
Robert Goulet was American, born and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts, of French Canadian ancestry, they having emigrated to work in the textile mills.
I really enjoyed this interview with Paul Anka. It was really funny! I’m sharing this!
I also enjoyed his 1962 jazz album (only you lol))too!
Bill Burr and Paul Anka! Wait what!!! This is great.
Great interview--of real substance.
Good ole Ottawa boy . He's still with it, great stories , good interview
Great interview. Loved it.
The interview cut off just when I was so hungry for more!
Canadian national treasure. Thx
What a clip ❤
Best Interview/conversation I've seen in a long time. Enlightening. Bill Burr do more of these!!!!
What the hell? Does Paul Anka have a painting of himself in his attic? The guy looks great!
Fascinating segment/conversation…thanks Bill.
Great interview bill, paul anka is a legend, great stories
