My Way is much more than a song; this major score has spanned eras, borders, and generations. It is an anthem that has established itself as a part of us and has indelibly written itself into the history of music. My Way is also one of the most covered songs in the world, from Sid Vicious to Tom Jones, from Nina Simone to Pavarotti. Yet many are unaware that it was conceived in France, by the pool of Claude François’s mansion on a summer afternoon in 1967, and that a series of chance encounters and sleepless nights guided it across the Atlantic to the one who would make it a Legend. Like a biopic, the documentary MY WAY tells the story of the birth of a mythical song and its entry into the pantheon of popular culture.
