Frank Sinatra is a true legend of the 20th century. Moreover, not only the musical world, but the entire American culture. During his lifetime, he was considered the standard of musical taste and style. Frank Sinatra was no less successful as a film actor - he starred in more than 60 films, and in 1956 he received an Oscar. When he was gone, some journalists wrote: “Fuck the calendar. Day of death of Frank Sinatra - the end of the XX century."
The history of this world famous song is quite entertaining. Once Frank was in a bad mood and during a dinner with Canadian singer and songwriter Paul Anka, he complained that he was getting old, that he had made many mistakes in life, but if he had to live life anew, he would not have changed anything in it.
Returning to New York, Paul Anka immediately got down to business. He recalls: “At 1 am I sat down at a typewriter and thought - if Frank wrote the song, what would he say? I started with a metaphor: “And now the end is near” … I read a bunch of newspapers, writing out the facts, and mentally went all the way to Frank. I used words that I hadn't used before: “I ate it up and spit it out”. And this was his path, which he told me about. “At 5 o'clock in the morning, the song was ready. “I called Frank in Nevada and said,“I have something special for you. I wrote a song, but I don't have a boyfriend to sing it. It was a song for Frank and no one else."
The funniest thing in this whole story is Frank Sinatra's attitude to the work of Paul Anka. "I hate Paul Anka," Sinatra said, "but I hate singing My Way." And it's true - the song “My Way” has become a hallmark of Frank Sinatra.
In the life of Frank Sinatra, there was true love - Ava Gardner, but they turned out to be too similar to be together.
