Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Claude François originally wrote 'Comme d'habitude' as a breakup song; Paul Anka heard it at a disco in Paris and transformed it into 'My Way' after Sinatra announced retirement.
In France, Claude remains a titanic figure — his death ended an era of yé-yé pop, and his obsessive fanbase ('les Clodettes') still pilgrimage to his Trottier estate.
