Connie Francis recorded voluminously in the 1960's, and this 5-disc set covers the years of 1960-1962. As well as all the hits from this time there are some great "forgotten" treasures, alternate takes, and false starts. Connie's tremendous vocal talent shines through in every song, and she certainly ranks with some of her comtemporaries (Judy Garland and Patsy Cline) as one of the great musical interpreters of our time. This is an investment you wont regret!

This wonderful 5 CD Box Set from Bear Family collects all of Connie's early 1960's recordings. All of her hit singles are here as are her wonderful albums. Connie's voice is like no others! She sends chills down your spine when singing such songs as "A Little Bit of Heaven" from her outstanding "Irish Favorites" This set is an absolut MUST HAVE for every true Connie Francis fan.

This collection of songs on 5CD's is a superb collector's item. All the songs are selections from each of Connie's albums. I enjoy all of Connie Francis' music since she is truly the Queen of Song.

WHILE THIS MAY BE A GREAT COMPILATION IT IS MISSING HER BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF "CAROLINA MOON" AND ISTEAD FEATURES STUFF LIKE "ON TOP OF OLD SMOKEY". OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT 5 STARS. I THINK THERE IS ANOTHER BOXED SET WHICH IS BETTER.CONNIE FRANCIS WAS A GREAT SINGER OF THE 50'S AND 60'S AND IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD "CAROLINA MOON" YOU WON'T MISS IT.I JUST HAPPEN TO LIKE IT!!IN 1958 AMERICAN BANDSTAND RATED HER THE BEST FEMALE VOCALIST ALONG WITH ELVIS AS BEST MALE.ANNETTE AND FABIAN RECEIVED THE MOST PROMISING.IT'S STILL VERY MUCH WORTH BUYING!

This is a wonderful catalog of music from one of the best singers this country has ever produced. Her talents are astounding; she can go in every direction--tearful ballads, rock 'n roll romps, country torch songs, and international favorites. She sings in seventeen languages, and you'll want to hear every one. I simply love Connie Francis, and this is by far the most comprehensive and satisfying box set available. Get one for yourself!!

where are the songs like Vacation, Looking For Love ( mono version) Don't Ever Leave Me and Mama or mama should be on the 50's box set. these songs should have been on the set.

This five cd set if featuring her recordings from 1960 to 1962. Mostly pop, country and Irish songs. And here you'll find Aura Lee by which Love Me Tender was inspired.

For all Connie Francis fans, this 5-CD set contains a variety of her hits from her top albumns and single hit records. For me, this is a collector's item for any fan of Connie Francis. I can listen to these songs forever.
