About the song
ELVIS PRESLEY – My Way (June 1977) 4K
"My Way," performed by the legendary Elvis Presley, is one of his most iconic live renditions and a powerful anthem that resonates with themes of individuality, reflection, and resilience. Originally a French song titled "Comme d’habitude," Paul Anka rewrote the lyrics in English, famously performed by Frank Sinatra. However, Elvis Presley brought his own unparalleled intensity, emotion, and showmanship to the track, truly making "My Way" unforgettable for generations.
This specific version, recorded in June 1977, stands out as it was one of Elvis Presley’s final performances before his untimely death just two months later in August 1977. The live performance was part of his CBS-TV special "Elvis in Concert," which turned the song into an emotional farewell moment for many of his fans. Watching this 4K restoration of the iconic performance allows fans to experience the full presence and charisma of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll in crystal-clear quality.
"My Way" became a posthumous hit for Elvis, climbing to the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in early 1978. It also charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the UK Top 10. Its success further solidified his ongoing legacy.
The song earned accolades for its enduring appeal and emotional depth. While Elvis did not win a Grammy specifically for "My Way," his vocal performance showcased his unmatched ability to connect deeply with audiences, contributing to his lasting reputation as one of the most influential figures in music history.
Even years after its release, the performance continues to inspire, offering a glimpse of Elvis’s undeniable talent and larger-than-life presence. "My Way" exemplifies his ability to take any song and make it an unforgettable part of his repertoire.
