CONNIE FRANCIS SINGS THE BEATLES ("And I Love Him") - 1965

Connie tackled the classic Beatles song "And I Love Her," re-titling it "And I Love Him" on her 1965 LP, "Connie Francis Sings the All-Time International Hits." I created this slide show two years ago, only to find that it had been ripped on You Tube - but the guy using it was nice enough to credit me for making the video. I think Connie's bossa nova style interpretation is beautiful and that her voice is great here.

@rocca706 Hi there! How wonderful that you got to meet Connie! I hope I get to do the same thing one day! We did talk on the phone recently - after she discovered my channel - and she was so nice. Of course, her voice is incredible! I've loved her all my life. Thanks for watching and commenting! - Ken

I could listen to her forever. She's always been one of my favorite female singers. Beautiful cover.

@stewysmom I feel the same way about Connie - and her cover of this song. Thanks for tuning in and I hope you will subscribe to my channel!

The Beatles were not great singers. They were great song interpreters. No one sings their songs as well as the Beatles, and I like very few Beatles covers. Even the best singers frequently slow down the Beatles standards and make them more dramatic. The Beatles' strength was excellent melodies and simple, straight forward interpretations. Petula Clark did some very good Beatles covers, and she also in my opinion butchered a few Beatles songs.
