[78-L] fwd: FW: Sinatra Song Often Strikes Deadly Chord ^

[David Lennick]

No..because nobody cares! The song was unknown until Anka made it into a hit. 
It's not even a very good melody. My Way isn't a good song by any stretch of 
the imagination, any more than Jacques Brel's "Le Moribond" was anything till 
Rod (Blechh) McKuen adapted it into Sneezin In The Sun, which STILL lay 
deservedly dead for a decade till Terry Jacks somehow turned it into the most 
nauseating piece of crap after My Way and could afford to go fishing for the 
next 40 years.
