im not a big fan of Connie, but i like a few of her singles, this not being one of them...
my dad used to love Connie, so there may be more of her singles to come
this one peaked at #11 on the UK charts
Here's Connie's Wkik page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connie_Francis

Connie Francis' angelic angst always stroked me. Add to that the personal tragedies she suffered...There's an '89 recording of her reprising her hits plus other good songs--opinions are mixed but most like this mature re-visiting *: http://www.amazon.com/Where-Hits-Are-Con...ref=sr_1_1
