Product Description
Connie Smith’s rise to superstardom in the sixties was a fairytale come true. Discovered at an amateur contest, her debut single "Once a Day" exploded to #1 on the country charts, where it remained for a remarkable eight weeks. No other female country artist had ever held the top spot longer! Over the next decade, she released a string of over forty chart-busting hits. At the height of her career, she dropped out of the Music City limelight to concentrate on her family and her religion. Queen of the Broken Hearts includes Smith’s chart-topping classic "Once a Day," plus seven more Top 5 country hits.

4.0 out of 5 stars New recordings of the originals, January 29, 2009

By	harry44callahan (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews

Connie Smith is a legendary country artist and these songs are true classic country. I purchased this CD based on the item description, what it failed to note is the fact these are new recordings by the original artist. Not to say these don't sound good, but there are subtle differences in the sound from the original recordings; for instance the steel guitar on Once A Day is overshadowed by the other instruments. It should be advertised as new recordings; now I'll have to purchase another Connie Smith CD to get the sound I want! A fan of Connie Smith will still like this CD, but if you want the originals, I would recommend purchasing The Essential Connie Smith instead (which I'll probably be doing as I've already opened this!). Connie Smith is five stars all the way, but I can only give this four because they are not the original recordings.
