The French song Comme d'Habitude was composed by the French singer Claude François, shortly after the star had broken his relation with singer France Gall. The song was arranged by David Whitaker in 1967 and became Claude François's biggest hit. The English version by Paul Anka turned it into an inter-national hit. The versions by Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and the Sex Pistols (to name just a few) increased the immense popularity of song which became an evergreen.
