Anka, who famously wrote hits for iconic artists including Frank Sinatra, Connie Francis and Buddy Holly continues to collaborate and create with artists across the spectrum of genres from pop, to rock to hip hop.<\/p>\n<p>INSPIRATIONS OF LIFE AND LOVE was recorded mainly in Anka\u2019s home studio in California, with symphony orchestra accompaniment recorded in Budapest.<\/p>\n<p>A second pre-release song, a re-recording of \u201cLet Me Try Again,\u201d is also available. It was first released by Sinatra\u00a0in 1973 before Anka recorded his version for 1989\u2019s\u00a0Somebody Loves You\u00a0album:<\/p>\n<p>Another recording on the album, \u201cLove Never Felt So Good\u201d was originally released as a posthumous Michael Jackson single in 2014, a reworking of a demo Jackson and Anka had first put together decades earlier. It peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Jackson the first artist in history to have a top 10 single on the US Billboard Hot 100 in five different decades.<\/p>\n<p>The track listing:<\/p>\n<p>1.
