Frank Sinatra
Fans pay their respects to French singer Claude François, on March 11, 2008, at his tomb in the Dannemois' cemetery, a western Paris suburb, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his death. Recently, Claude Francois Junior, his son, announced he is negotiating to buy the Dannemois mill, where the artist lived, to make a sort of French 'Graceland', (in reference to the Elvis Presley museum in the US), to celebrate his father. Francois is the co-author of the 1967 song 'Comme d'habitude' which was adapted into english as 'My Way' and first sung by Frank Sinatra in 1969.
