Lawton and Keith Bennett, both of whom we thank.. Paul Anka, now in his eighties, is still thankfully with us, while Frank Sinatra has hit the &#8220;higher-stage&#8221; just a few years ago. As I&#8217;ve been both a musician\/songwriter &amp; Entertainer since around 1942 myself,\u00a0 I could think of none better than Frank Sinatra as the very BEST male Vocalist in the &#8220;Pop-music&#8221; culture ever, and although he was quite a good Vocalist himself, I am certain that Paul Anka, the Songwriter, would agree that NO-ONE, including himself could do a better job of &#8220;MY WAY&#8221; than his good friend at the time, SINATRA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Please enjoy the story, including the rendition of this great song, by the very ONE it was written for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75796 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Desmond-Kelly-2.jpg\" alt=\"Desmond-Kelly\" width=\"125\" height=\"178\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Desmond Kelly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">(Editor-in-Chief) e&#8217;Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b><i><span lang=\"EN-GB\">My way<\/span><\/i><\/b><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0&#8211; Great story and fabulous rendition<\/span><\/b><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><b><i>Before you click on the video, take a few moments to read below!<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">While singer-songwriter legend Paul Anka has left a long trail of hits over his 60-year career, he admits that early on, he was terrified to pen a tune for Frank Sinatra. \u201cHe\u2019d always tease me, \u2018hey kid, when are you going to write me a song?\u2019\u201d Anka remembers. \u201cBut I couldn\u2019t. I was scared to death. I was writing all this teen stuff.\u201d Of course, there are few music lovers today who aren\u2019t familiar with the poignant ballad Anka eventually crafted for Sinatra, \u201cMy Way.\u201d Some dub it the most powerful of Anka\u2019s many earworms, which also include classics like \u201cPuppy Love,\u201d \u201cPut Your Head on My Shoulder\u201d and even Johnny Carson\u2019s theme song for \u201cThe Tonight Show.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Anka didn\u2019t think twice 55 years ago when Sinatra called him out of the blue and declared, \u201cKid, we\u2019re going to dinner.\u201d \u201cWhen Sinatra says, \u2018we\u2019re going to dinner, you drop everything and you go to dinner,\u201d recalls Paul, who as a budding Vegas headliner in the 1960s had a friendly tie with the Rat Pack. During the meal, Sinatra dropped a stunning surprise: He was about to quit showbiz. \u201cHe said, \u2018I\u2019ve had it. I\u2019m fed up. But I\u2019m doing one more album,\u2019\u201d Anka remembers. \u201cHe said, \u2018and you never wrote me that song.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Anka felt the pressure. Still reeling over the news at 1.00 am in his apartment, he found himself toying with lyrics to a melody he had heard in France. \u201cI thought, \u2018What would Frank do with this melody, if he were a writer?\u2019\u201d Anka says. \u201cAnd all of a sudden, it just came to me: \u2018And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">He finished the song at 5 a.m. and called Sinatra on the spot, promising him a song for his final album. \u201cI knew I had something I wouldn\u2019t be afraid to give him,\u201d Anka says. The next day, he recorded a demo of the song and flew to Las Vegas, where Sinatra lived. \u201cI played him the song and he looked at me and said, \u2018I\u2019m doing it.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Two months later, Sinatra called Anka again. This time, with better news. \u201cHe says, \u2018kid, listen to this,\u2019 and puts the phone up to the speaker,\u201d Anka remembers. \u201cI heard \u2018My Way\u2019 playing for the first time, and I started to cry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Paul Anka never knew what a legacy he had created when, at the request of Ol\u2019 Blue Eyes, he wrote this song for Frank\u2019s (presumed) retirement. Frank Sinatra had a mega-smash hit with it, followed by the Three Tenors, Pavarotti and numerous other big stars who covered the song over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">In this video, 10 superb voices, an amazing orchestra, plus piano, saxophone, electric guitar, and extra choral support go well beyond of doing justice to Anka\u2019s composition. The singers are Dutch, and you will notice that the majority of the orchestra are women. The performance is fantastic and extraordinarily beautiful. Take five from those Holiday chores, and enjoy this beautiful rendition.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;MY WAY&#8221;\u00a0 ANKA-SINATRA STORY IN SONG \u2013 Des Kelly There could never be anyone but &#8220;The Voice&#8221; as he was called, to sing such a superb song. &#8220;My Way&#8221; might well be the epitome of life itself, as the lyrics suggest, and e&#8217;Lanka is very grateful for the story of it&#8217;s making to come to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":84984,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,1104],"tags":[29058,4709,41319,41345],"class_list":{"0":"post-84983","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-aside","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-articles","8":"category-desmond-kelly","9":"tag-frank-sinatra","10":"tag-paul-anka","11":"tag-puppy-love","12":"tag-the-voice","13":"post_format-post-format-aside"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;MY WAY&quot; ANKA-SINATRA STORY IN SONG \u2013 Des Kelly - eLanka<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"While singer-songwriter legend Paul Anka has left a long trail of hits over his 60-year career, he admits that early on, he was terrified to pen a tune for Frank Sinatra. \u201cHe\u2019d always tease me, \u2018hey kid, when are you going to write me a song?\u2019\u201d Anka remembers. \u201cBut I couldn\u2019t.
