5.0 out of 5 stars A CROWD PLEASER, May 21, 2006

This review is from: Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)

This UK 3 disc collection is based on the age of the song. The oldest written songs are on disc one and continue on to disc 3 to the newer. And what we have is not your typical Connie Francis "hits" collection but a taste of the great Connie Francis. Listen to her versions of "Blue Hawaii", "A Lifetime of Love" or the gorgeous "Like Someone in Love" to name just a few. This is the best of the larger collections to come out since her lawsuit with her record company. The selections are excellent and well thought out and the the cd transfer is smooth and crisp. The song "Eres" is not sung in Spanish. It is the English "Call me Me Irresponsible"--and it is a gem so do be disapointed by a typo or a mistake by Spectum Music. This is a must have for fans and music lovers alike. Very highly recommended. Thank you UK.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best, December 6, 2005

I have about 8 other cds of connie francis. And I like them all, but this album is special. This has become my favorite cd. Some songs I have listened to many times, and even bring about tears (and I am a conservative), are these :Born Free, Together Forever (my cup runneth over), Where is your heart, You know you don't want me, malaguena, Brother can you spare a dime, and Over the Rainbow. But every song is great. When connie sings, it's special, not like other female singers ...who sound like they're in heat ...with no heart.

This collection is one of the best I have heard. I have been a fan of Connies for many years but this is a collection of some of her lesser known but magnificently done material. Her rendition of"Brother can you spare a dime" is probably the best recording ever done of the song. "Am I Blue""The Imposible Dream""My Foolish Heart" "Together Forever/My cup runneth over" are nothing short of sensational. If you are a Connie Fan or even if your not you must hear this CD.One of the greatest voices of the 20th century
