I was a little girl when she had all her top ten hits. Her voice is a gift and this song is kind of like venture in a country vibe. Bless you S&M for finding this and reacting.
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!
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.
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
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. ❤❤❤❤
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. :-)
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).
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...
II had Connie Francis pictures plastered all over my bedroom, back in the day !! Still love her, and still loving you guys. Keep it up. I'm gonna check out your reaction to Brenda Lee, next !!
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.
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 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
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.
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 💎
There are a lot of songs her voice was phenomenal. I’ll name a few, The Tennessee Waltz, It’s Only Make Belief, Love is A Many Splendor Thing just a few but her is really something. I hope you get a chance to listen to these few.
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.
TRIVIA NOTE : IN '58, WHEN CONSTANZIA FRANCONERO WAS MAKING AN AUDITION TAPE FOR MGM MUSIC, THIS SONG WAS THE LAST ONE SHE ID, & SHE HATED IT, THINKING IT WOULD GO NOWHERE. HER DOMINEERING FATHER MADE HER DO IT. AND, HE CHANGED HER NAME . THE SONG WENT #1 IN THE SPRING OF 1958. I WAS 11 Y/O. --------------MJL, 75 Y/O
I am 62 years old and just love your authentic reactions. love the music. Ive watched alot of reaction videos just please stay the way you are . reactions become to boring when the reactors get to commercial.. Love the channel and have a happy holiday season!
Connie Francis was a very nice and very lovely italian American Lady who was never afraid to show that she was italian - even in an era when Italians were being discriminated against #ItalianPride
I love the expressions on your faces. I know I looked the same way when I discovered her for myself. You can't believe what you are hearing. She's the best.

One of the greatest voices of the 20th Century!
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.
I was a little girl when she had all her top ten hits. Her voice is a gift and this song is kind of like venture in a country vibe. Bless you S&M for finding this and reacting.

So right. One take. And she didn't think it was that good!
You are in an Era of great music. The well is deep.
Enjoy the journey.
Connie Francis was an incredible performer and sang so many songs including "Lipstick on Your Collar" as well as "My Souvenir."
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.
One of the great voices!
It is so fun watching y’all’s reaction because we all know what’s coming and we’re like “just wait for it”! Great!
CONNIE FRANCIS...THE WORLD'S TOP-SELLING FEMALE VOCALIST *** THANKS FOR POSTNG THIS.
Her voice sounds better every time I hear it. Such a pretty voice! Simply amazing! She is also a very pretty woman!
Pure perfection as Mel stated! A beautiful woman, gorgeous voice, great song!!! 💥💥💥
What a voice!!!
You AAALLLLLL!!!! The *Connie* herself saw this and loved it!!! wow. That's jackpot.
"Everybody's Somebody's Fool" "Where the Boys Are" "Mama" She was phenomenal. What a voice! And she had so many good songs!
The 60s had a plethora of great singers, Connie was definitely one of them. Incredible vocals!!!
I heard Elvis left in tears at her performance when she sang "Momma". His mom had died.
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.
WOW! That is amazing!!! Congrats Donald- you sound like an upstanding and appreciative man!
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
She is a legend .. her songs and voice was so captivating. ..
Just as beautiful as her voice
My mum's favourite singer she brought me up me up well ❤️❤️❤️.
Connie Francis is a fabulous singer who is very underappreciated today. I'm glad to finally see someone react to her.
Definitely
It’s interesting how some music still sounds great decade after decade.
Her voice always gives me chills.
Absolute classic from Connie
Connie Francis is without a doubt the best female singer of her era.
[jimkreider9997] Connie Francis's record sales during that era of music would indicate that.
I couldn’t have a conversation with Her. Her voice is so sultry. I’d melt.
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. ❤❤❤❤
There was no Auto-tune in those days that was her real voice Pure Talent listen to Lipstick on your collar
I didn't appreciate her voice when I was a child but I certainly do now.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
What a beautiful voice! And she is so beautiful!
One of my favorite singers of all time
This was her first "hit" song followed by many more! Connie Francis was hailed as the best female vocalist of her time selling 100 million records.
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. :-)

Holy Camoli! That poor woman!
Did not know this
lots of tragedy in her life but i sure loved it when she sang and made me and many others happy
That's sad. She deserved better.
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...
She is still alive in her 80's WOW!
This is a dedication to all those mothers out there. Dave Berry, "Mama."
The arrangement is showcasing her voice to the max, old school tech..none. Wow
The guitarist really adds the spice to it.
Love Connie🥰 sang w her to a hair brush😝🤣❤
"Frankie" is one of her best songs!
I love Connie Francis my favorite pop singer
One of my favs..Listen to more Connie Please..
II had Connie Francis pictures plastered all over my bedroom, back in the day !! Still love her, and still loving you guys. Keep it up. I'm gonna check out your reaction to Brenda Lee, next !!
I am so glad to see you playing Connie Francis song, omg wonderful.
Love Connie Francis ♥️
BRILLANTE ÚNICA DULCE CONNIE 😗
Love this song.
She has a great, fun recording of "Where the Boys Are". One of her biggest hits.
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.
Down in the valley is another of her songs Plus many more .
@@Star-dk8vq Patti could knock it out of the park, with her vocals. “Cross over the Bridge,” was an good example.
Connie also recorded a DISCO version of Where The Boys Are. You can find it on RUclips.
One of the great female singers of all time
Huge huge star in her day
I listened to this when I was a baby 👶

and just unheard of even today.
@@rogerturner1881just following the Hip Hop drama 🎭, totally disgusting , I hope those damaged people get some justice.
even today too.
She also had a man break into her home and ra*ed her....she never really recovered from that and stopped performing
Connie Francis is one of the greatest singers of all time.
Connie's voice is so unique. You hear it once and it stays with you forever.
Love the old songs ... thanks for introducing "real music" to today's generation ! No auto tune , just vocal talent !
Not being disrespectful
Because I love classic artists too
But there are some artists today that Don't Use Autotune
Like Adele
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
I agrre. Some of today's artists are really good. A good karma song.
Her name gave me the idea to name my daughter Colleen Frances. Cuz it sounded like Connie Francis. Lol. Thanks you guys for your Reactions on her. 😊
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 🎶🎵
My Great Grandmother was born in 1896 and Connie Francis, Nat King Cole and Elvis was all she listen to.
Skeeter Davis sings along these lines with a song called "End of the World"
Sweet Karma, such a beautiful song.
One of my all-time favorites!
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.
Love love her glad you played that beautiful voice and love her movies can y’all play to sir with love by lulu😊
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 💎
I would never make her cry!
Her voice totally captivated me! Beautiful voice. So sexy it’s unreal!
Connie is still with us. She's 83. Brenda Lee is too at 76.
You need to play her best song ever, Where the Boys Are, 1960.
Connie Francis, one of a kind!
There are a lot of songs her voice was phenomenal.
I’ll name a few, The Tennessee Waltz, It’s Only Make Belief,
Love is A Many Splendor Thing just a few but her is really something. I hope you get a chance to listen to these few.
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 was a very nice and very lovely italian American Lady who was never afraid to show that she was italian - even in an era when Italians were being discriminated against #ItalianPride
Her voice feels so much like patsy! I love those kinds of voices. It's just so soothing and so full of emotion
Love Connie. A really fun and sassy one of hers is "Lipstick on Your Collar." Hope you'll try that one, too.
Hell hath no fury like a Connie scorned!
Connie is a legend with so many great songs.
