"Times of Your Life" is the title of a popular song and advertising jingle made famous in the 1970s by Canadian-born singer Paul Anka.
It was written by Roger Nichols (melody) and Bill Lane (lyrics).
Kodak film created an advertising campaign in 1975 that featured Anka singing a jingle entitled "Times of Your Life".
Anka decided to record the tune and release it as a single in late 1975.
The song became a hit in the US, reaching number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in February 1976 and remaining in the Top 40 for 12 weeks.
The previous month, "Times of Your Life" had spent one week atop the Billboard easy listening (adult contemporary) chart, Anka's only recording to do so.
Anka began including the song in his concert appearances, particularly during his shows in Las Vegas, Nevada. The performance of the song is often accompanied by a video montage featuring Anka and his family and friends. |
