American? Non, French Creations!
Three famous cultural icons you thought were American, but they are really FRENCH creations!!
The song “My Way”
"Comme d'habitude" was the original name for the Frank Sinatra hit “My Way”. It was composed in 1967 by Jacques Revaux, with lyrics by Claude François and Gilles Thibaut. It is a French song about routine in a relationship and falling out of love. It referenced Claude François’s recent breakup with fellow French singer France Gall. It was quite a success for François and later Florent Pagny who covered it in 1989.

Paul Anka heard the song while listening to French radio and then bought the rights. Anka wrote the English lyrics specifically for Frank Sinatra, who then recorded it in 1969 under the title "My Way". It became one of Frank Sinatra's signature songs which is about making choices along one’s life path and looking back without regret.
