Paul Anka Confirms Frank Sinatra’s Legendary Endowment in Interview
UPDATE: In a shocking revelation, Paul Anka has confirmed the long-rumored size of Frank Sinatra‘s endowment during an exclusive interview with Page Six. Anka, now 84, humorously stated, “Yeah, it was huge,” adding a laugh, “I don’t know what that does for you!” This unexpected admission adds a new twist to the legendary tales surrounding the iconic singer.
Anka, who spent considerable time with Sinatra and The Rat Pack in Las Vegas, shared that their close-knit camaraderie included sauna sessions that made maintaining eye contact quite the challenge. He cheekily noted, “I had trouble with eye contact.” Despite the playful banter, Anka made it clear that Sinatra’s endowment was “nothing” compared to Milton Berle, whom he humorously described as “crazy.”
The rumors surrounding Sinatra’s anatomy were further fueled by his second wife, Ava Gardner, who once claimed he had a 19-pound penis. Anka, however, is primarily known for his monumental contribution to music, having penned the English lyrics to one of Sinatra’s signature songs, “My Way.”
The origins of this classic date back to when Anka was traveling in France and encountered a song titled “Comme d’habitude.” Captivated by the melody, he swiftly acquired the rights and crafted the iconic lyrics at just 24 years old. Reflecting on that moment, Anka recalled, “I think I’ve really got something” as he sat typing away at his lyrics.
Two months after he sent the song to Sinatra, the legendary singer called Anka from the recording studio, declaring, “Listen to this kid,” and held the phone up to the speaker for Anka to hear his own creation. “I cannot tell you [how] I wrote it at 24,” Anka reminisced.
“My Way” has since been immortalized by numerous artists, including Elvis Presley and Sid Vicious, and famously featured in the closing credits of the film “Goodfellas.”
As Anka continues to thrive in the music industry, he remains at the forefront of cultural conversations. He is set to be featured in the upcoming HBO Max documentary, “Paul Anka: My Way,” which premieres on December 1, 2023, further solidifying his impact on music history. Additionally, Anka is gearing up for the release of a new album early next year, demonstrating his enduring legacy and relevance in today’s music scene.
With these exciting developments, Paul Anka not only reinforces his connection to Frank Sinatra but also continues to shape the landscape of contemporary music. Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds!
