Biography

US singer and actor with Italian origins. Born: 12 December 1915 in Hoboken, New Jersey, USA. Died: 14 May 1998 in Los Angeles, California, USA. Nicknamed "The Voice," "Ol' Blue Eyes," "The Chairman Of The Board," and "Frankie Boy." Beginning his musical career in the swing era with [a=Harry James (2)] and [a=Tommy Dorsey], Sinatra became a solo artist with great success after signing with [l=Columbia Records] in March 1943; he stayed with Columbia until he got dropped by the label in June '52. Sinatra signed a seven-year recording contract with [l=Capitol Records] on March 13, 1953, and released several critically lauded albums while with Capitol. Sinatra left Capitol to found his own record label in 1960, [l=Reprise Records], toured internationally, and fraternized with the Rat Pack and President [a=John F. Kennedy] in the early 1960s. Sinatra had three children, [a=Nancy Sinatra] (singer, artist), [a=Frank Sinatra Jr.] (musician), and [a=Tina Sinatra] (TV producer), all with his first wife, Nancy Barbato (married 1939 to 1951). He was married three more times, to actresses [a=Ava Gardner] (1951 to 1957) and [a=Mia Farrow] (1966 to 1968), and finally to model/showgirl Barbara Marx (married 1976), to whom he was still married at his death.

LYRICS

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course,
Each careful step
Along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way!

Yes, it was my way
