Paul Albert Anka OC (born July 30, 1941) is a Canadian-American singer, songwriter and actor. Anka became famous with hit songs like "Diana", "Lonely Boy", "Put Your Head on My Shoulder", and "(You're) Having My Baby". He wrote such well-known music as the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and one of Tom Jones's biggest hits, "She's a Lady". He also wrote the English lyrics to Claude François and Jacques Revaux's music for Frank Sinatra's signature song, "My Way", which has been recorded by many, including Elvis Presley. 

Henry "Harry" Bidgood (1898 – 15 November 1957), was an English composer, dance band leader and musical director for films.Born in London, he studied at The Royal College of Music. Bidgood released dance band music under various names, mostly notably Primo Scala and his Accordion Band. Over the course of 20 years he would frequently broadcast on the BBC. Bidgood was also the musical director for numerous films including several George Formby films. Apart from the many recordings made under his own name, he also recorded as 'Rossini' and 'Don Porto'. As 'Primo Scala' he broadcast regularly on 'Music While You Work' until just before his death in November 1957.


John Randolph Sutton (24 July 1888 – 28 February 1969) was an English singer and comic entertainer in music hall and variety shows.Sutton was a prolific recording artist during the late 1920s and 1930s, and many of his records are of a suggestively humorous nature. Among his recordings were "Jolly Good Company" (1931) and "The Sun Has Got His Hat On" (1932). While his best-known song (though first performed by Fred Barnes) was "On Mother Kelly's Doorstep", this was never recorded commercially, but private recordings were made and subsequently released on commercial compilations, including one recorded as late as January 1969, shortly before his death.
