What a hauntingly beautiful song and every phrase of it is sung with such feeling, sensitivity and also passion. It evokes a longing in me which I cannot identify.
@@Johnnybomb1 I didn't know that, Johnny. It's a beautiful song; words and music. Yes, Connie's voice was in its prime in the middle 60s. I don't know if Universal Music officially released this album. I'll find out from Connie's manager.
@@kph1955 Yes, thank you very much for uploading. We're so fortunate to have people like you keeping these classics alive. As for this song in particular, I first heard it about 15 years ago, from my uncle, he had a collection of her Italian hits, and this one always stay d in my memory. ❤️ "Non Dimenticar" and "Come back to Sorrento" are also great!
Gary, there were so many Italian immigrants here in the Northeast U.S. Most of them spoke only the Neopolitan dialect or similar. This album definitely hit home with those immigrants.

Beautiful words, Milton. Yes, this song can cause goose bumps. You did a nice translation of the words. Even in the 1970s, this song was popular during the second big migration of Italians to the United States.

@@miltonmoore8369 I have found my 'lost' poetry book ,half the size and no front hardback cover ,no wonder I could not find it I knew it had poetry by many authors. This little book is titled ''To Alfred Tennyson Poet Laureate. Found ''Life'' by Francis Bacon. ''Strange Meeting and Futility by Wilfred Owen. An old favourite ''The Quiet Life'' by Alexander Pope. And ''The Brook'' by Tennyson. Just 13 pages of him in the book. I do not have a TV. Just my computer for which far better reporting of the News? You said about Sherlock Holmes in one episode on Dartmoor. There is a prison on Dartmoor in a place called Princetown where escaped prisoners are only to pleased to be recaptured as when the mist comes down they can't find there way off the moor , can't be seen and found ,so are freezing cold and wet .

Non so perché ma la sua voce mi fa emozionare sempre grande
I love this song, and the way Connie sings it with feelings, I got the chills. Bravo Beautiful ❤❤
The lovely Connie Francis is so wonderful In any language. Good thing I'm Italian/American . I understand it all. I LOVE YOU CONNIE!
I've loved this song after the very first hearing!
Thank you Kevin!!
Me too. It makes me long to be able to visit Italy again.
I'm not italian, but I always cry when I listen to this song... 😢
Another exquisite vocal.
Will, Connie's vocal is outstanding. The words to this song are sad.
The first time I heard this album was not a fan. It is now one of my favorites
Love the Italian songs they have greater feelings
La piu' bella voce che abbiamo importato dagli Stati Uniti
Love this thanks kevin
You're welcome, Charles
BRAVISSIMA CONNIE 😘
La voce che nessuno al mondo potrebbe scordar
Beautiful album, and a friend of Connie’s designed the cover
I didn't know that, Joey. The album cover is beautiful!
This is a beautiful album. Every track. Thanks for the posts. Connie is really in her prime here. 😊
Rick, this album is in my top 5.

@@kph1955 It hit home with me, Kevin -- and I'm not even Italian!
@@51gary51 It is a beautiful song and beautifully sung and interpreted by Connie. Thank you!!
@@kph1955 Yes, indeed, Kev.
che dolcezza, che romanticismo e dopo Claudio Villa, ecco che arriva la Conny a farci sognare ballando ad occhi chiusi
For eternity ...
I have the original on vinyl from my grandma, the music is wonderful is it valuable ?
