Issued March 1972 on Buddah 294. From the
album "Jubilation" on Buddah BDS 5114.
Paul Anka was in transition. Having moved to
Buddah Records in 1971, he was onto the next
thing after having been a teen idol and a
Vegas lounge act. His first single for them
was "This Is Your Song," which failed to
register, but was redone in 1973 under Anka's
supervision by Don Goodwin, who got airplay
with it. The next single was "Jubilation." It
only reached #65 in the Hot 100, but made #14
on CHUM and did similarly in other Canadian
markets.
Note that the single is six and a half
minutes long. There is no edited version;
radio stations would usually fade it out by
3:55. The rest was issued on a single on
United Artists in 1973, as by The Johnny
Harris Orchestra, titled "Johnny's Theme."
The music is identical to this performance,
and not a remake - it was hived off of the
Paul Anka record and reissued under a
different name. It didn't chart. Tags :PaulAnkaJubilation1972Canadianpopreligious
