Frank Sinatra: My Way (1969)

There are few songs that match their artist more than "My Way" and Frank Sinatra. The tune is about an aging man reflecting back on his life and realizing he might not have made all the right choices, but the choices were his. Paul Anka adapted a 1967 French pop song and gave it to Sinatra. It hit #27 on the charts in 1969. In the U.K., it set a record by appearing in the Top 40 for 75 weeks. It did not leave the British charts until September 1971. The 75 weeks is a record that still stands.
