Today: One Very Rainy Day in Hampstead.

Arena's celebrated investigation of this phenomenally popular hit song, starring
Frank Sinatra , Sid Vicious
Dorothy Squires , Barry John
Paul Anka , Lord George-Brown Elvis Presley
Professor Wilfred Mellers Shirley Bassey
The Disapointer Sisters
The St Paul 's School Choir
David Bowie and Claude Francois ' My Way ' has been recorded over 140 times and for every artist who has put it on wax, countless others sing it in pubs, clubs and bathtubs.
Witty, entertaining and sardonic...
Mr Anka 's hit may never sound the same again. (THE GUARDIAN) What a way to treat a song. A delight!
