She's "on" the money!

By 1968, America's pop music sweetheart Connie Francis had recorded dozens of albums and covered nearly every popular genre possible before and after the British invasion of pop music. With THE SWINGING CONNIE FRANCIS (originally titled CONNIE & CLYDE when first released), Francis stretched her vocal muscle once more and came out a big winner. Taking a chance that an album of Tin Pan Alley songs would find an audience was a risk indeed, but Connie's risk paid off with a stellar set of vocals on such hits of the 1930s as Fats Waller's "Ain't Misbehavin'", "Brother Can You Spare a Dime?" (one of the best ever recorded) and the stunning, sexy "Am I Blue?". Perhaps the most satisfying aspect of the album is the pure fun it exudes. The vocals recorded here are equally exuberant and heartfelt and Francis breathes new life into some old classics, while creating a classic in the process.

Spine-tingling! A true classic.

Thank you, Miss Francis, for giving us your magnificent talent! This album simply amazes me every time I listen to it. I have loved Connie Francis for years, but this album puts me over the edge. The songs in themselves are lovely, but the performances are absolutely first-rate, and set Connie Francis apart from all other artists.

This album can be difficult to locate, but it is well worth the effort. If you enjoy the work of Connie Francis, you must hear this recording. The sound quality, by the way, is also excellent.
