CONNIE FRANCIS: "LIPSTICK ON YOUR COLLAR" '59 (The Saturday Night Beechnut Show)

This great rocker, recorded in May 1959, rose to the #5 spot on the Billboard Top 40 chart. It was the flipside of "Frankie," another huge million-selling hit for Connie. This was a double-sided hit - the first for a female recording artist of the rock-and-roll era. I worked with old video but laid down an audio track using the CD version of the song. I had to do a little bit of creative editing to synchronize everything, but it was fun! Enjoy!

Syncing audio/video....always fun. Job well done!

[AConnieChannel]

@MSMediaRotterdam Hi there! Thank you! And thanks for watching!

[fromthesidelines]

The "IFIC" buttons were given to the audience (along with free sticks of Beech-Nut gum) to wear during the show, to remind viewers of the sponsor's slogan, "Beech-Nut Flavor-IFIC Gum".

[AConnieChannel]

@fromthesidelines I love it! I have often wondered what the letters meant! I really appreciate these historic gems you have shared. Thanks so much! Have a great Saturday, Ken

Thank-you for uploading these great vintage clips of Connie. It's amazing that both you and Glamorous have been able to find these!!

[AConnieChannel]

@sas9023055 You are welcome! And I've seen some of the Glamorous clippings. He has lots of resources! He has used some of my clips in the past and re-uploaded them on his channel. And, of course, he sings a lot of the songs himself. He is talented and gets lots of "hits." But there are fans on You Tube who have FAR more material than either one of us. I'm just happy to share what I have. We all love Connie! It's so much fun! Take care!

@Alikah1 there is a another clip here where he had her commited - they are back together - this guy got his shit together - he said if he was elvis's father he would have done the same to him

[Alikah1]

@realfunny7 Just a strict Italian father. It worked though. They never saw each other again.

[realfunny7]

@Alikah1 who was connie's dad? vito corleone

[Alikah1]

@realfunny7 Yes, they moved in unison for a while until Connie's papa mentioned to Bobby that he'd prefer that Bobby not see Connie any longer. He mentioned this while pointing the business end of a .25 at Bobby's nose!

[realfunny7]

[realfunny7]
