Connie's Volume 2 of hits contains tracks out of the ordinary million sellers usually heard. There are excellent tracks on this CD. I Was Such A Fool is one of her best - listen to the intonations and emphatics! For Mama is a 1965 release that many recorded, but only Connie did it justice. Malaguena and Time Alone Will Tell reflect her passion and excitement. Connie handles all of the tracks in her usual signature manner.

This was one of Connie's very first CDs to be released in this country and doing a second "Best Of" would br extremely difficult considering the ground she has covered. Not everyone will be satisfied. This collection follows the hits formula and some of the songs may not be quite as well known to many. Her version of "Time Alone Will Tell" is nothing short of miraculous. The power and the passion is all there in one song. This is a good example of why she is not only the biggest selling and most versatile singer, but simply the best female entertainer in the business...bar none. A good collection with great sound. Recommended.

I have hundreds of CDs by hundreds of artists. If I had to relinquish all but one, this is the one I would keep. You may as well remove your socks before listening, cuz Connie's gonna knock 'em off anyway. There's a few of her standard top forty hits included, but the real magic and power comes in her renditions of the Italian love songs. You'll never hear a bigger, more powerful voice. And there's still plenty of the wistful Connie when she sings about Mama. She's truly one of our great American treasures.

An odd assortment of Connie Fracis recordings spanning 1960-1967. This set contains some chart hits as well as obscure recordings that may not interest the casual fan. This highlights the "champagne" Connie which appealed mostly to her adult following. Not focused enough to be an effective overview as the title might suggest. If you want the big hits, see the first volume.
