It's "Golden Throats" all over again where an MOR aritst takes a stab
doing Rock/Pop material big band style and falls on his ass. At least
its listenable, unlike that gawdaful Pat Boone metal album.
LOL, Anka had the balls to take the Pet Shop Boys "It's A Sin" and turn
it into a ballad, proably to court the gay audiance that loves this kind
of tacky kitsch and have given MOR performers like him a second career..
Anka's just another fomer "Teen Idol" who was grounded in too much Tin
Pan Alley pap to be taken seriously as a Rocker.
