'France Gall, French Singer Who Won 1965 Eurovision Song Contest and
Inspired ‘My Way,’ Dies at 70'

Need more info on the My Way reference.
And here it is from Wikipedia:
"My Way" is a song popularized in 1969 by Frank Sinatra. Its lyrics were
written by Paul Anka and set to the music of the French song "Comme
d'habitude" co-composed and co-written (with Jacques Revaux), and
performed in 1967 by Claude François. Anka's English lyrics are
unrelated to the original French song.

Here's how fascinating she was:


I read that Walt Disney wanted her for a live action version of Alice in
Wonderland, which is entirely believable watching the above clip, but he
died and that version wasn't made.
