My Way - Frank Sinatra - MP3 instrumental karaoke

When Frank Sinatra did it his way in 1969, he scored a signature hit. Originally called "Comme D'habitude," "My Way" was composed and written by French songwriters Claude François and Jacques Revaux – with the former first performing it in 1967 – but took on new life after the song was discovered by Paul Anka who was holidaying in the south of France. The former '50s teen idol bought the rights and set about penning the English lyrics, with Frank Sinatra recording the song in December 1968. His record-breaking version of "My Way" spent a colossal 75 weeks in the UK Top 40, becoming just one of a handful of songs that have charted for 50 weeks or more. Toasting the American dream and putting his celebrated vocal stamp on a classic orchestral pop number, "My Way" found Frank Sinatra showing gratitude ("I've lived a life that's full"), celebrating individualism, and has been covered or sampled by everyone from Elvis Presley and Sid Vicious to Miley Cyrus and Jay-Z.
