This Edition of TITANS OF HISTORY presents
FRANK SINATRA: My Way.
"My Way" is a song popularized by American
singer Frank Sinatra.
Its lyrics were written by Paul Anka and set
to music based on the French song "Comme d'habitude"
co-composed, co-written and performed in 1967
by Claude François.
Anka's English lyrics were written specifically
for Sinatra and are unrelated to the original
French song.
Sinatra recorded his version of the song on
December 30th, 1968, and it was released in
early 1969 on the album of the same name and
as a single.
The tune became Sinatra's theme song during
the latter stage of his career with the lyric
eventually attaining international iconic
status.
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain,
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain.
I’ve lived a life that’s full.
I've traveled each and ev’ry highway;
And more, much more than this.
I did it my way.
We hope you have enjoyed this presentation
and look forward to sharing history with you
again soon.
