BEST ITALIAN album EVER by an American

I was 10 in 1972 when I was introduce to this album. I had a mono LP, then stereo LP, and now I have the sublime CD. I have listened to this album thousand of times since 1972 and still love it. Everysong break my hearts. The orchestra plays beautifully and combination with miss Francis angelic voice.....there is no other italian album as good as this (sung by an american). Highly recommended. I wish the publisher make more of this album...

Connie got better over time

This was Connie's initial Italian album, recorded in 1959 in England. It is one of her most famous albums and it gleaned the million seller Mama and transferred her into a superstar, opening up new avenues of success. As Connie matured and performed live more frequently, her vocals became stronger and more vibrant, as evidenced on the albums MORE ITALIAN FAVORITES, MALA FEMMENA, MODERN ITALIAN HITS, and the superb LOVE ITALIAN STYLE. If you like the ITALIAN FAVORITES CD, you will love those later CDs, some of which are now available on CD.

THE VOICE OF CONNIE FRANCIS is SUBLIME!

Connie's stupendis voice is like listening to the Angels sing. Her heart renderings of every song she sings comes from her Heart. Brava Connie!
