There will NEVER be another Connie Francis. She is a treasure to our history and to the musical history for the entire world.

If this doesn't knock your socks off, you can definitely consider yourself part of the "Tin Ear Club". This is one of the most powerful, effective performances I've seen on You Tube, bar none.

@topreviewer1 Hi, Terry! I totally agree with you! I'm glad to see you back on You Tube!

[AConnieChannel]

@FURRYDUCKIE Hi there! It is a medley of "Scapricciatello" and "Return to Sorrento." Thanks for asking because I forgot to name the songs in my description. I'm so glad you like the posting - and yes, she is gorgeous! Thank you for watching and commenting. -- Ken

This is the kind of talent that reaches through the TV screen, into your living room, and grabs you by the throat!

[AConnieChannel]

@MrYellowlabs You are so right! You write such great comments - you should be a professional music reviewer. (Maybe you are????) Merry Christmas!

[MrYellowlabs]

@AConnieChannel Thank you, those are very kind words. Like you, as a child, I remember her from the 1960`s. Unlike you, I lacked the early insight to appreciate her. Before stumbling upon your videos seven months ago, I had simply forgotten about her. I now understand what all the excitement was about.

I can`t thank you enough for opening my eyes! Even as an Elvis fan, I have never seen talent like this! In fact, it`s not even close. For me, your videos are priceless "archeological finds"!

[WoodRatGirl]

Gorgeous!

[glamourous888]

superb!

What can be said about this performance other than "spectacular." Just imagine being in the audience that night with Connie's performance of both Born Free and this Italian medley! From the applause at the end, it sounds like the audience got it!!

[AConnieChannel]

@cwoodn I totally agree with you! I was only six years old when this aired. How wonderful it would have been to be older and to see her do this in person!

[chompo7]

@cwoodn i can only imagine the magic that audience felt.i would have felt sorry for the other performers that

evening with this AND born free?no one else had a shot with concetta blowing them out like this!

[AConnieChannel]

@chompo7 You are so right, Joe!

[joeyjosephs]

this is an outstanding performance

[AConnieChannel]

@joeyjosephs I agree, Joey. It is one of my all-time favorite performances by Connie. The last note of "Return to Sorrento" gives me goosebumps. I hope you received my notice about how I accidentally deleted several of my CF videos today. I'm in the process of re-uploading them. Please re-visit them as I do to help get the counts back up. Some were in the thousands. I'm upset that I was so careless, but thankfully, I have saved all of the videos I made.
