Considering Sinatra didn't even write most of his songs, I would think the
songs will carry on and be interpreted by new artists just as they were
interpreted by older artists.  ('My Way', FWIW, was written by a Canadian
named Paul Anka, and it has been covered by Sid Vicious and others.)

Some of those old Cole Porter and Gershwin and Hart & Rodgers tunes are
really, really cool, IMNSHO.  I can't imagine them ever going away.
