Product Description
This is an arrangement of "My Way" for intermediate level piano.
"My Way" is a song popularized in 1969 by Frank Sinatra set to the music of the French song "Comme d'habitude" composed and written by French songwriters Claude François and Jacques Revaux and first performed in 1967 by Claude François. Its English lyrics were written by Paul Anka and 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, which is 2nd place all-time.
On December 30, 1968, Frank Sinatra recorded his version of the song in one take, featuring session drummer Buddy Saltzman among the band. "My Way" was released in early 1969 on the My Way LP and as a single. It reached No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 2 on the Easy Listening
chart in the US. In the UK, the single achieved a still unmatched
record, becoming the recording with the most weeks inside the Top 40,
spending 75 weeks from April 1969 to September 1971. It spent a further
49 weeks in the Top 75 but never bettered the No. 5 slot achieved upon
its first chart run.
