Extracted from Wikipedia --

"My Way" is an English-language lyrical adaptation of the French song "Comme d'habitude", released by Frank Sinatra in 1969. The original song was written by Jacques Revaux, Gilles Thibaut, and Claude François, and was first recorded by the latter in 1967. The English-language version and lyrics were written by Paul Anka.

The song was a success for a variety of performers, including Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Sid Vicious. Sinatra's version of "My Way" was a modest success in the United States and Canada, achieving peak positions of No. 27 and No. 26, respectively. It was far more successful in the United Kingdom, where it spent 75 weeks in the UK top 40 (the fourth-longest in UK chart history), reaching a top position of No. 5.
