Who Wrote "My Way"? (Not Sinatra. Not Who You Think.)

Everyone knows "My Way." It's Sinatra. An American classic. A song about a life lived on one's own terms.It is also, in every meaningful sense, a French song about a failing relationship — rewritten by a Canadian on a transatlantic flight, recorded by a man from Hoboken, and performed most magnificently by an Italian from Modena who sounds like he's winning an argument with the universe.Also: the composer died trying to fix a lightbulb. In his bathtub.Music history is considerably more complicated than the karaoke screen suggests.🦇 battyontour.com
