‘My Way’ (Original title: ‘For Me’) is written by the French composer Jacques Revaux. In the beginning nobody was interested in the song, but after some insistence, Claude Francois decided in 1967 to make a record with new lyrics and title: ‘Comme d’habitude’.
When Paul Anka visited Paris he heard the French song and wrote English lyrics, title: ‘My Way’. Francois granted Anka record release. Anka persuaded Frank Sinatra to cover the song. The song became a huge success in the US and beyond. Elvis Presley also recorded ‘My Way’.
