I've read a lot of them so I can appreciate the back and forth but if this is your first one I can definitely see how you can come away with a big WTF.

More accurate to describe it as Paul Anka's My Way since he wrote it, not Sinatra. Would you call it Judy Collins' Both Sides Now?

Paul Ivice ;>) From: Bob Muller Might. Lots of people do. If you're talking about who a song is associated with as opposed to who authored it, then it would likely result in this association. Judy had a bigger hit with BSN than Joni had with ANYTHING. The same thing happens with Tom Waits' "Jersey Girl" - lots of folks associate it with Bruce Springsteen, though I am not one of them. And the flip side is that many people (me included) associate "Twisted" and "How Do You Stop" with Joni as opposed to their authors or even those who released them first.
