I am from Hollywood,Fla and I worked delivery driver in Hallendale, Fla and I used to deliver to her Condo on a regular basis and she would get a Small cheese every time and give you a 50 dollar bill and tell you to keep the change one time she asked me what kind of music that I liked and I told her the fifties and 60's and she went into another room and came back out with 3 albums and she signed them for me.

[@AlamoDame7]

"Everybody's Somebody's Fool" "Where the Boys Are" "Mama" She was phenomenal. What a voice! And she had so many good songs!

[@mamb70]

The 60s had a plethora of great singers, Connie was definitely one of them. Incredible vocals!!!

[@cocoaorange1]

I heard Elvis left in tears at her performance when she sang "Momma". His mom had died.

[@stevemichaelsmichaels4646]

Connie was a great singer, but did you know that she was a smart business woman? With her first contract with MGM Records, she had total control over her career. She was Executive Producer of all her product. She got to record what material she wanted, record where she wanted; record with the musicians she wanted to work with; MGM bought the gowns/clothes and accessories she wore for her publicity photos, album covers, 45 record sleeves, AND Connie got to keep everything. MGM paid for all of her sessions and they couldn't recoup the money directly from Connie. MGM could not release anything Connie record unless Connie gave her consent. She had an unheard of contract for that period of time.

and just unheard of even today.

Connie Francis is a fabulous singer who is very underappreciated today. I'm glad to finally see someone react to her.

[@mamb70]

Definitely

[@jimsealy9489]

There was no Auto-tune in those days that was her real voice Pure Talent listen to Lipstick on your collar

[@Shrinksjp]

One of the greatest voices of the 20th Century!

CONNIE FRANCIS...THE WORLD'S TOP-SELLING FEMALE VOCALIST *** THANKS FOR POSTNG THIS.

[@gerryweed7697]

When you can , react to Skeeter Davis - End of the world .. 1962 .. 😎👍

[@54nomore]

Connie Francis and Brenda Lee both have a lot in common...Both have great vocals and are tiny in stature. And both became big recording stars during the 50's and 60's. Note: She was also in the 1960 movie "Where The Boys Are" She also sang the movies title song. Great reaction to one of the finest female singers ever...

[@jimkreider9997]

Connie Francis is without a doubt the best female singer of her era.

[@brgilbert2]

[jimkreider9997] Connie Francis's record sales during that era of music would indicate that.

[@JustVinnyMusic]

She had such a haunting voice and phenomenal technique that you could not wait for her next record. You could never get enough of it.

[@dagmar.6954]

Connie is another one of the great young lady singers of the late 50's - early 60's. Some of her hits were "Stupid Cupid", "My Happiness", "Among My Souvenirs", "Lipstick on Your Collar", "Where The Boys Are" & "Frankie". She recorded many of her songs in other languages. And she did the singing voice for some actresses in a few movies. She had a very tragic life (was raped, lost her voice for a few years with complications from surgery, her brother was murdered, suffered from manic depression, married 4 times).

[@brucedillinger9448]

Holy Camoli! That poor woman!

[@andreadeamon6419]

[@brianbyczek3042]

lots of tragedy in her life but i sure loved it when she sang and made me and many others happy

[@jessemartin3125]

That's sad. She deserved better.

[@williamquinlan2193]

You need to play her best song ever, Where the Boys Are, 1960.

[@lindaanderson659]

Skeeter Davis sings along these lines with a song called "End of the World"

I didn't appreciate her voice when I was a child but I certainly do now.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@sharonglover7221]

Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, Dusty Springfield...all of these beautiful women could sing FABULOUS!!!! When we were young teenagers, this music made us love our guys deeply. We definitely were moony eyed teenagers. We danced so smoothly and sweetly with our honey bunnies. We were so innocent.

Connie Francis is one of the greatest singers of all time.

[@suzie4417]

My brother & I sang all of the Connie Francis songs we had on the albums at the time! I think my brother was in love with Connie 🥰 You should hear her sing in Italian 💎✨. Truly a beautiful singer of the 50’s & 60’s 💎

[@kathrynkathryn4836]

So many songs she sang became her signature songs. How many singers can make that claim? I was lucky enough to see her in concert in the 1980s. Been a fan since 1958.

A thousand ups for Where the Boys Are!! Connie can sing!! And so dramatic.

Patty page has some of the most relaxing songs I've herd so far. Besides Patsy Cline . Love the oldies you can understand the words. Connie Francis is one of the great ones also.

[@Star-dk8vq]

Down in the valley is another of her songs Plus many more .

[@buckjohnson1119]

@@Star-dk8vq Patti could knock it out of the park, with her vocals. “Cross over the Bridge,” was an good example.

[@stevemichaelsmichaels4646]

Connie also recorded a DISCO version of Where The Boys Are. You can find it on KZbin.

[@dalejohnson4256]

That voice! She put out a lot of absolutely perfect records back in the day. My Polish grandmother -- who always had her radio on listening to pop/rock n'roll music -- LOVED Connie Francis ... and Bobby Vinton ... And Bobby Darin. And so do I. :-)

[@billhiggins1882]

Just as beautiful as her voice

[@sas9023055]

After several recordings with no chance to hit, her father told Connie that this old song will be a hit for her. Connie just didn't think so, and resisted. Finally, at the end of a recording session they had 5 minutes left. Connie said, well, what do I have to lose. She recorded this song in ONE TAKE, which is all the time there was left in the recording session. After about a month, there was nothing. Then, when watching Dick Clark's American Bandstand, he said, "This Song is Going to the Top". And, that it did. It became Connie's first of many many hits!

[@MrPete60441]

Connie Francis... One of my favorites..... I am so glad that the 2 of you like her... Song is timeless..

[@bethmitchem4721]

Connie Francis singing where the boys are and stupid Cupid are good also

she did it in one take, this was her last session with MGM and her father demanded she sing whos sorry now with a new beat, this was her first hit after her six previous songs bombed in the charts

My first Connie Francis song was Al Di La when I was a kid, my mom used to play it. Italian/English lyrics and beautiful.

Al Di La is a gorgeous song 🎶🎵

One of my favs..Listen to more Connie Please..

[@ppresley9208]

Love the old songs ... thanks for introducing "real music" to today's generation ! No auto tune , just vocal talent !

[@cjturner2008]

Not being disrespectful Because I love classic artists too But there are some artists today that Don't Use Autotune Like Adele

[@cjturner2008]

And I love older Masterpieces All the way to the late 40s I just love all different types of music And not all artists use autotune No dis respect Just making a point

Absolute classic from Connie

I love hearing younger generations discover these stars. Way back in 1960 when my mom died the housekeeper played her albums a long with Nat King Cole al day long. Non stop as she did her housework and took care of us. ❤❤❤❤

She was one of the best...... so many hits, always liked "Lipstick on your collar" best ! (maybe her first hit)

There were so many great singers and groups from the 50's and early 60's that give me and others goose bumps when we hear them.

[@lydiahernandez4700]

Another lady that could belt out a song, Miss Shirley Bassey. Listen to " Never Never Never".

Back then there were very few artists that wrote their own songs. It was professional songwriters that mostly supplied the tears and shoulders to cry on!😂

[@jons.105]

Hell hath no fury like a Connie scorned!

I believe Connie is Italian, she does a STUNNING version of Al Di La (a beautiful Italian song). Pls react to it or check it out in your down time. I think you will love it 🎶🎵

[@joepowell7025]

Usually one take ... No Autotune or gimmicks. just a real voice and talent.

unfortunately the session master is lost but she did it in 1 take after a false start. AMAZING...2ND OCTOBER 1957.

Love Connie🥰 sang w her to a hair brush😝🤣❤

[@scotthuish67]

Another great song from Connie Francis is "Among My Souvenirs"

[@thomastimlin1724]

"Who's Sorry Now?" is a popular song with music written by Ted Snyder and lyrics by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby. It was published in 1923, when Isham Jones had a major hit with it. Connie's father kept bugging her to record it. She kept resisting saying it was not a modern song. Finally she relented, they styled it in the 6/8 time beat of the rock and roll coroners like Elvis's slow numbers, and Pat Boone, Fats Domino. All of a sudden it went straight to number one, and launched her national career.

[@John-uu1wu]

One of the great voices!

[@LadyGator1983]

One of my all-time favorites!

[@Dinosgurl626]

More Connie Francis please! She was a voice to be reckoned with!

[@Mark-iv7np]

Great song, great voice. I was fortunate growing up in that era, Had other great songs, tho I believe she was underrated or overshadowed by other great female singers then. Dusty Springfield & Petula Clark from the UK are worth reacting to.

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

my favorite of hers is "lipstick on your collar"

[@flutesong5527]

You should react to "Johnny Angel" by Shelley Fabares. Another great girl singer from the 60s. She was also an actress who was in a few big name shows in the 50s through to the 90s.

Another singer in the same line as Connie Francis that you would like is Vicki Carr, especially her song "With Pen In Hand". Every time she sang it she would cry on stage.

[@JessH1]

Her voice feels so much like patsy! I love those kinds of voices. It's just so soothing and so full of emotion

[@geraldineekhator5428]

Very rare for her to do more than one take is what was said. She hated this song when she recorded it but her dad pushed her into recording it. It was wrote by two men in the forties. It really made her famous though and her dad was her manager for many years.

[@barrybrake7049]

You AAALLLLLL!!!! The *Connie* herself saw this and loved it!!! wow. That's jackpot.

[@Wolfsky9]

TRUE STORY ABOUT THIS SONG ---------Connie Francis, then still, Concetta Franonero became a singer because her Father demanded she do so. She was signed by MGM Records, & at the 1st recording session, there was still time left, so her Father demanded an arrangement for this song , " Who's Sorry Now ". Connie hated the song, didn't want to do it, but her Father so dominated her, she did it anyway, hating it. Well--------MGM loved it, released it as a single, & it went Gold , then Platinum, for her. Indeed, all the way to #1 on Billboard in the Summer of '58. I was 11 y/o, heading to 12, & I remember seeing her on " Bandstand " . ------------MJL, 75 y/o
