Connie Francis "Al Di La" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@irishdancer2753]

Beautiful voice, so clear!

[@aldoaguero908]

BELLLLLLOOOOOOOO.- LOS AMOOOOOO

[@amerigovespucci4076]

ONE OF THE BEST female SINGERS of all time!

[@flavius4540]

For those who are curious. This song was written in 1961 by Giulio Rapetti aka Mogol. It was his first hit. In the following years he wrote among the most beautiful and beloved Italian songs for many singers. I mention one of them: Lucio Battisti. His songs, or rather his poems, marked an era and continue to arouse emotions even in younger generations. Notice. To fully appreciate these poems and experience the emotions they provoke, one must know Italian or at least another Neo-Latin language into which they were translated. Happy research.

Thank you, interesting.

[@gregsanders9585]

His "Bella Linda" was covered by US band The Grass Roots ... what a shame this legend of Italian music is not more known internatioanally.

[@grayson1946]

Connie Francis was an unbelievable talent. Added to that is her extreme poise, class, and equanimity. Every movement she makes is so assured and confident. She was born to perform.

[@queenmicale9686]

Why isn't she inducted in hall of fame?????greatest singer of all times. Her voice is absolutely beautiful with no microphone. She is the best. So emotional when she sings. She sang in all different languages!!!. I have all her albums. Love u connie. God bless. U r the best. .🥰🥰🥰🥰😇👏👏👏👏👏💝💝💝☺

[@miltonmoore8369]

What hall of fame? She sang in several different languages, NOT ALL languages. Respectfully

[@richardleonard4281]

And she could rock too.

[@donna-elizabeth]

Check out the famous French artist Dalida...you will love her if you love this.

[@keythdanielsen5533]

[@hermilapile7315]

She has you on the first note. What a voice.

[@brianmoore6306]

One of the best voices of all time. Man alive, I Love Connie Francis. That was all her voice - not machines. These young singers we have today wish they had half of Connie's talents. Love to Connie. God bless you.

[@matthewrendino4223]

It's a shame that in 2024 many people of the younger generation have no idea what really good music is. Connie Francis I understand learned how to sing from her grandmother. She would practically cry her songs. What a magnificent singer!!!

[@Dr.Pepper001]

The younger generation is too woke to know anything.

[@crousselle52]

She sure was

[@haroldleboeuf8648]

Absolutely heavenly. Her voice is so SPECIAL ....really moves me emotionally.

NO ONE SINGS "ALI DI LA" WITH THE FEELING AS THE BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED INCOMPARABLE MS. CONNIE FRANCIS 🤩💜

I could listen to CONNIE sing all day: any song, any language....AL Di La just happens to be one of her best Italian songs. She's beyond compare.

Beautiful Connie!! No one can sing this beautiful song like Connie.

[@thomasbrady8056]

I can't get over how amazing this performance is. Connie's voice is just so damn perfect in everything she sings and those high notes are so sweet and the vibrato is buttery. What an icon of music she is

A perfect Connie Francis moment. There were many of those Connie Francis moments on "Ed Sullivan." But "Al Di La" is a delightful marriage of a singer and a song. Thanks for posting this.

[@Serioussamurai500]

What a Performance 😊 I love her.

[@Coolyguy27]

One of the greatest performances I have ever seen. Nobody can sing that song the way Connie Francis sings it.

[@adripin62]

Great song ! I don’t know why she isn’t remembered and acknowledged more often. She sang in so many languages, very talented 👏🏻

[@keythdanielsen5533]

She is well remembered. I saw her in concert in Ft. Lauderdale in 2010. I had traveled all the way from Seattle to see this wonderful artist. The venue was filled to overflowing; and not just with snowbirds and aging baby boomers like myself. I even got to meet her afterwards. Always going to be one of the high points of my life.

[@richelleflores2664]

I think this is the song sophia sings in a episode of the golden girls

[@bergy-62]

I met Connie when she played in Miami in 1959. Little did I know that she would become a huge star, whose songs will live on forever. What a talent..what a voice.

[@ThereseVSchey]

I agree she should be inducted into the Hall of Fame before she won’t be around

Connie Francis was so wonderful and beautiful here ~ one of the Great Female Vocalist that I grew up listening to ~ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love to listen to Connie while i cook supper. I'm 69. Always loved her!

[@daughterofTheLion]

Me too! And same age😊

[@maricle100]

If my memory is correct, Connie has italian roots in her family. So, her italian diction plus an amazing voice makes this song a real treat!! She was very popular in those days yet on the long run she did not have managers that made future audiences place her on the level SHE DESERVED!!

[@windstorm1000]

You are correct

[@pattibrooks1907]

Been listening to Connie Francis since age 3 or 4 in 1959 or 1960 and think her music and songs are the best ! She and Judy Garland are the best singers out there ! Been watching Connie on You Tube since 2008 when I got my first computer ! Shes a classy lady with class and style !

[@luisgustavocarvajalfernand1430]

Hermosa época en mi vida, eran los años 62 y 63 después del colegio, mis primeras experiencias de trabajo. Inmortal Connie Francis, bellísima e inolvidable voz que transporta "Al Di La" de las estrellas y de las cosas bellas.

[@user-rz6bc2cl3c]

No Italian IS Italian, if they can't sing Al Di La!! And, Ms. Francis most certainly passes that test with flying colours! Thanks, Connie for every beautiful memory you gave us, it was quite a 'gift'....

[@S.L.S-407]

No one sings Al Di La better than Connie Francis. How is it possible that she is not in the hall of Fame ?

[@gcm323]

Maybe her singing cannot be categorized as R&R… Instead, she’s in a class all by herself.

[@arletemerces3277]

Concordo! mesmo não estando entre nós, deveria está SIm!

[@maryanneevans9563]

Not only can Connie sing beautiful love ballads, but she can also rock! "Lipstick on Your Collar".

[@SeldimSeen1]

She was inducted into the "Hall of Fame" in 2002

Absolutely love this song. And I have never heard Connie Francis sing it. I am absolutely blown away. Absolutely definitive rendition of this song. I was shocked how big and fabulous her voice was. 0:02

My mother favourite singer even if in Rome we had many good singers…my mother was right: Connie was the best!❤ I dedicate this to my mother ❤🖤🌹

[@claudiamiller7730]

Ms. Francis always was a knock-out vocalist, and this is a prime example of her skill. 💕So magnificent to see these live clips from the past! Simple music….wonderful songs…superb vocals with no enhancements…how wonderful that these shows were recorded “just” with equipment on set (which were full orchestras and state-of-the-art, Broadway theater level acoustics and sound management). And they sound superb!

[@TomElvisSmith]

One of Connie's greatest performances! I believe I read that "Al di la" and "Born Free" were two of her favorite recordings as well.

Ciao. I am 61 years old. I remember when I was a child, say 8 years of age, and I remember my paternal grandmother singing with Connie. My grandmother was not that great of a singer, and I remember her trying to hit the last note, which she did not hit and she said in a broke American accent, "...thank God for the noise of the vaccum cleaner..." No matter what, I love Connie. Lastly, had the great opportunity in 1988 to attend Connie's concert at the Warwick Musical Tent.

Of all the female singers God has put on this earth, there's no one to ever beat the fabulous Connie Francis. Every word, every note comes straight from her heart. Her voice is such that it can induce the water works, especially when one is feeling down. I do wish I knew Italian. I've loved the song 'Al Di La' ever since I heard it in the 1963 film 'Lovers Must Learn' sung by the equally fabulous Emelio Pericoli. The film starred the gorgeous, Suzanne Pleshette and heart-throb, Troy Donahue on whom the song is featured. The number is truly "timeless"!!!
