Frank Sinatra ‘My Way’- Track of the Day

I haven’t listened to most of Sinatra’s old stuff, but ‘My Way’ is now the exception to the rule!

Therefore, I thought I’d mix things up this week by choosing an icon who DIDN’T die years before I was born. As a writer and director, Edgar Wright ranks high among my favourite artists. Hot […]
