50s - Diana (Paul Anka)

Diana

"Diana" is a song composed and sung by Canadian Paul Anka in 1957. It topped the US Billboard briefly for one week (end August, 1957) but stayed at #1 spot for 9 weeks (!) on the UK single charts from end August to October, 1957.

Paul Anka was only 16 when he recorded the song and it was dedicated to an older girl, Diana Ayoub, with whom Paul sang in Ottawa's Syrian Church Choir.
