CONNIE FRANCIS and HER DREAM LOVER - PART ONE (1960)

Connie and Bobby Darin perform their famous duet when they were named "King and Queen of Hearts" for the 1960 American Heart Association fundraising drive. This song, "You Make Me Feel So Young," was a huge hit for Frank Sinatra. I worked with computer software to re-synchronize this particular clip, although I have seen cleaner versions on You Tube in the past. Still, I did the best with what I had and I hope you enjoy seeing these two fabulous singers together.

When I was a kid, growing up in an Italian-American household, all the guys has two crushes. Connie Francis and Annette Funicello. Looking at Connie here, who wouldn't want to marry her? God bless you, Connie!

Thank you for sharing this with all of us, AConnieChannel. She has always been and will always be my favorite. Good for her dad.

I remember her loving Bobby Darin, and he loved her so much prior to his marrying Sandra Dee. The father thought he was no good for Connie so the story goes. She may have had a happier life if she had wound up with him.

As parents, we do the best we can short of playng God.

I love you Connie. She came from Newark, New Jersey, where my father came from.

@rossinilove Connie era bellissima! Ricordo quando venne in Italia al Festival di San Remo e cantò una canzone bellissima.

Grazie per il video e ciao da un amico italiano (from Tuscany).

Have ALWAYS like these artistsmusic. I had a crush - 'the girl next door'- on Connie when I was yeah-high to a grasshopper. He father in the beginning, would buy all her records so that local stations 'survey' would make her popular. I believe with Mr D being an actor, composer, arranger & vocalist, he would have been 'bigger' - 'greater' - than The Man, Frank Sinatra. Thank you for taking the time & trouble to upload these 2 great artists. CFN

Dear Casta,

She was under her father's thumb. She was a nice decent girl. I love playing her records.

I got my beloved Mom, Mimi Rosenberg, the music by Connie entitled Jewish Songs. It brings a tear to my eye when I hear her sing "My Yiddisha Mama." Thanks for getting back to me and sharing this wonderful music.

Always,

Iris

@irismcooper - That is a shame.. Connie should had gone after him when he was available. Too bad maybe things would have turned out differently for both of them.

Perhaps Destiny must have its way.
