“My Way” is a song popularized in 1969 by Frank Sinatra. Its lyrics were written by Paul Anka and set to the music of the French song “Comme d’habitude” co-composed and co-written (with Jacques Revaux), and performed in 1967 by Claude François. Anka’s English lyrics are unrelated to the original French song. The song was a success for a variety of performers including Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Sid Vicious. Sinatra’s version of “My Way” spent 75 weeks in the UK Top 40, a record which still stands.
Strangely, for a song that is such a monument, My Way never reached No 1. But it caught the imagination, challenging others to consider what their own way might be.

The Guardian reports : “Anka’s version, sung by Frank Sinatra, entered the UK charts 50 years ago this week. It remained in the Top 100 for 124 weeks, a record-holding 75 of those in the Top 40. One of the world’s most covered and karaoked songs, it is the second most popular pick on Desert Island Discs, and consistently among the top three choices at UK funerals.”
