“My Way” (Frank Sinatra) #27 5/10/1969

Sometimes performers detest their most recognized material. Ol’ Blue Eyes came to loathe this one, originally sung in French as “Comme d’habitude” and given English lyrics by Paul Anka. Sinatra didn’t care for self-congratulatory songs, yet “My Way” became one of his signature works, which speaks volumes about the sheer quality of Frank’s music. Of course, Elvis made this a show-stopper, too. An absolute classic.
