I’M NOT ANYONE – Paul Anka & Sammy Davis Jr
Reporter Bill Kown wrote an article in the Honolulu Advertiser about "Corky" Trinidad who died recently. He quoted the lyrics from Paul Anka's song written for Sammy Davis Jr. I'm not anyone which are worth considering for all of us:
I'm not anyone, no not anyone
I have the right to lead a life fulfilled with every need.
I'm not any man designed to fit someone's plan.
I have my own desires: all the things a man aspires.
No, I will not be used, misled, deceived or abused.
No sir, not me;
I am free . . .
And I'll not give away
The freedom I have is to say —
To say I do, I don't, I will or I won't.
— Sammy Davis Jr.
The other song that makes me think of Sammy is Paul Anka's I've Gotta be Me :
Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am
I want to live, not merely survive 
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am
That far-away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me
I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me
