Description: Duets by Paul Anka [CD] Track Listing: 1 Walk A Fine Line - with Michael McDonald & George Benson 2 Find My Way Back To Your Heart 3 Do I Love You (Yes, In Every Way) - with W. Dolly Parton 4 This Is It - with Michael Jackson 5 I Really Miss You - with Leon Russell 6 Think I'm In Love Again - with Gloria Estefan 7 Pennies From Heaven - with Michael Buble 8 Crazy - with Willie Nelson 9 You Are My Destiny - with Patti Labelle 10 Les Filles de Paris - with Chris Botti 11 It's Hard To Say Goodbye - with Celine Dion 12 She's A Lady - with Tom Jones 13 Hold Me 'Til the Morning Come 14 My Way - with Frank Sinatra From the 1950s into the new millennium, Paul has endured and thrived as a very successful performer, songwriter, and recording artist. The prolific and versatile songwriter is back with a brand-new collection: DUETS. This remarkable assortment of classics and standards features superstar collaborations with Chris Botti, Michael Buble, Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, Tom Jones, Dolly Parton, Frank Sinatra, Patti LaBelle, Willie Nelson, Gloria Estefan, Leon Russell, Peter Cetera, Tita Hutchison, George Benson and Michael McDonald. --- Released as a tie-in to Paul Anka's 2013 memoir My Way (really, would an Anka autobiography bear another name?), the 2013 collection Duets attempts to illustrate the depth of Anka's career through song, letting the singer/songwriter indulge himself with duet partners both expected and unfamiliar. There is a degree of posthumous trickery here -- he sings "This Is It" with Michael Jackson and "My Way" with Frank Sinatra, two vocalists long deceased by the time Anka assembled this album -- but Anka is such a creature of show biz that this sleight of hand doesn't much matter; arguably, it even enhances the splash and glitz of this deliberately showy album. There may be a little too much modernity on Duets -- Anka succumbs to Auto-Tune here and there, including on "Find My Way Back to your Heart," the only solo song here -- and there's the odd sense that he's trying to appeal to every possible audience that may exist in 2013, although nothing here could conceivably be played on modern radio. Instead, Duets plays like a fantasia of pre-MTV pop, songs designed for maximum radio play even when there are no outlets for that sound. There are some pleasant moments here, to be sure -- many of them play like throwbacks to 1990, including Tom Jones' new take on "She's a Lady" -- but it's a sound that belongs to past that's long since gone. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
