Sinatra Abroad

In my attempts to learn more about Sinatra’s appearance in South Africa in 1981 that caused a lot of criticism, I am reading about how he has been received outside of the United States through the years. Through some random research, I came across this article published in September in the South African Times. The Catholic Church in Melbourne is banning the playing of popular songs during funerals, and “My Way” was cited as one of these popular songs that’s getting the boot. Even after his death, Sinatra’s songs still make an impact (and cause controversy).
