French singer Yseult, whose full name is Yseult Marie Onguenet, closed out the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on Sunday with a 1969 song famous in America that has a lesser-known French connection. “My Way,” sung by American pop star Frank Sinatra, was written by Canadian singer-songwriter Paul Anka, who had heard a song called “Comme d’habitude” on a trip to Paris and wanted to write something like it, according to The Guardian.
