    Paul Anka's "Diana" has sold more than 20 million copies. He wrote it as a tribute and love song for his babysitter who went on to become the president of Paul Anka's Fan Club, Ottawa Chapter. What is her name?

    		Anka began singing as a child and, encouraged by his parents, at age 14 he recorded his first single, "I Confess." In 1957 he went to New York City where he auditioned for ABC, singing a lovestruck verse he had written to a former babysitter, Diana Ayoub. The song, "Diana," brought Anka instant stardom as it rocketed to number one on the charts. "Diana" is one of the best selling 45s in music history.

    Paul wrote the song about his babysitter -- Diana Ayoub. Diana's two cousins -- one of them was Eddie Ayoub -- were schoolmates of mine. (I lived in a town with a big air base and they were "air force kids.")
