===1990s comeback=== Anka's 1998 album ''A Body of Work'' was his first new US studio release since ''Walk a Fine Line'' in 1983; vocalists and performers included [[Celine Dion]], [[Kenny G]], [[Patti LaBelle]], and [[Skyler Jett]]. The album included a new version of "Hold Me 'Til the Morning Comes", once again performed with [[Peter Cetera]]. In 2005, Anka released an album of big-band arrangements of contemporary Rock songs titled, ''[[Rock Swings]]''; the album provided a mainstream comeback of sorts that saw Anka awarded a star on [[Canada's Walk of Fame]] in [[Toronto]]. On October 12, 2009, Anka stated that [[Michael Jackson]]'s new release titled "[[This Is It (Michael Jackson song)|This Is It]]" was a collaborative effort between the two in 1980. According to Anka, after recording the song, Jackson decided not to use it and the tune was then recorded and released by [[Sa-Fire]]. After Anka threatened to sue for credit and a share of royalties, the administrators of Jackson's estate granted Anka 50% of the copyright.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/companyNewsAndPR/idUSN1215390020091013|title=UPDATE 2-New Michael Jackson single a mistake|work=Reuters|date=October 13, 2009|access-date=July 28, 2010|first=Jill|last=Serjeant}}</ref> An additional song that Jackson co-wrote with Anka from this 1980 session, "Love Never Felt So Good", was discovered shortly thereafter.
