"My Way" is a tune promoted by Frank Sinatra. Its verses were composed by Paul Anka and set to music in light of the French melody "Comme d'habitude" co-created, co-composed and performed in

He traveled to Paris to arrange the rights to the melody. In a 2007 meeting, he said, "I thought it was an awful record, however there was something in it." He obtained adjustment, recording, and distributed rights for the simple ostensible or formal thought of one dollar, subject to the procurement that the tune's authors would hold their unique offer of sovereignty rights concerning whatever renditions Anka or his assigns made or delivered. Some time later, Anka had a supper in Florida with Frank Sinatra and "two or three Mob folks" amid which Sinatra said "I'm quitting the business. I'm sick of it; I'm getting the hell out."
