                    [Summary] => 
It’s a song that has cost the lives of not a few Filipinos, that’s why it has become infamously known as the “killer” song which, when sung off-key by drunken men in a beerhouse, would usually provoke equally-drunk clients to shoot the “singer” dead.

But the nostalgia fever is far from over as stars from the past continue to pour out of airliners at the local airports one after the other. Armed with their memorable hits, they come to delight Filipino audiences like never before. One of those now waiting in line to take his turn at the Araneta Coliseum is no other but Engelbert Humperdinck.

So when was the last time you heard those lines (from Diana) sung "live" by Paul Anka, considered the most enduring pop idol of all time?


Me? A few years ago when Anka topbilled a Valentine concert at the PICC Plenary Hall. I remember that Tony P. and I were seated at the last row of the balcony section, the farthest from the stage, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the show to the max.
