Frank Sinatra may have thought his days of fame were over by the time the 60's came around. Known as a teen idol of the 1940's, and with his daughter now in the spotlight, Sinatra probably could have been happy with the legacy he left behind. But, his best was yet to come. His biggest hit, My Way was released on April 2, 1969 and would be on the charts eight separate times before 1972.
Although not a hit right away in the US, on the other side of the pond people couldn't get enough of it. Over the years it was covered by three other acts; Dorothy Squires, Elvis Presley, and the Sex Pistols.
