The 1970s Frank Sinatra some memorable singles
too. His single from 1969 called My Way
re-entered the charts in 1970, in fact it spent nearly a hundred weeks in the
top forty. Most artists would be happy with five or six weeks! The song was written by Paul Anka who had it
translated from an original French song in 1967.
The song has a simple premise as it is
about a man looking back on his life. The good and the bad, but through it all
he did things his way. The song came back several times in the 1970s with big
chart hit versions from Elvis and the Sex Pistols.

Franks had another single hit in 1970
called Something which was a Beatles cover. Frank has been to the UK many times
performing his concerts including in 1975 at the Royal Albert Hall where he
performed twenty songs in one and a half hours.
In 1971 Frank had another UK chart hit with I Drink The Wine.
