CONNIE FRANCIS & HANK WILLIAMS, JR.: "JUST WALK ON BY" (1964)

From the 1964 LP, "Connie Francis and Hank Williams, Jr. Sing Great Country Favorites." I created this video slideshow using photos and music from my personal collection. Connie was 26 at the time and Hank was 15 and on the verge of a big career that continues today. MGM records decided to pair the two because Connie was a huge star and they thought she could give Hank a boost. It was a great idea in theory, but unfortunately, the album didn't do very well - probably because 1964 was the year of the Beatles invasion and the British sound was all the rage, ushering in a whole new era of '60s rock and roll that 'negated' many of the top American stars. TRIVIA NOTE: The back-up vocalists at this recording session were The Jordanaires, famous for their work with Elvis Presley. Connie used them on many of her own albums and singles.

@sas9023055 Hi there! Thanks so much for the nice comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. And thanks for your comments on the others you've watched! I appreciate it! And I am certain Connie does, too. Have you subscribed to the channel? Best wishes, Ken

Bonjour! J'espère que quelqu'un va me dire s'il me comprend.

Oui moi aussi, après Leroy Van Dyke et Jim Reeves, c'est la meilleure version que j'aie entendue, surtout en duo c'est la seule que je connaisse. En plus, j'adore Connie et j'ai même trippé sur elle quand j'étais adolescent, Elle a déjà fait un album habillée d'une chemise bleue qui laissait voir un peu ses atouts et à l'âge que j'avais, WOW!

Bon ma question suis sur un autre message qui suis...

That's really great Ken. Looking at the pictures really shows how petite Connie was/is. My goodness. But the voice anything but!

@AConnieChannel - Hi Ken! We have swapped messages several times. Yes, I have belonged to your channel quite some time now. I have mentioned that I grew up listening to CF, as my grandmother played her records when I was child back in the late 50's/early 60's. I have my own channel for another special lady, Shirley Bassey. Both Connie and Shirley have sung many of the same songs over the years. Anyone taking a listen will also enjoy Dame Shirley Bassey as well very much!, Regards, Scot

Question: Qu'est-ce qui se passe? depuis février 2011, je ne vois plus de barre d'enregistrement qui sortait au haut du vidéo et je ne suis donc plus capable d'ajouter ceux-çi à ma bibliothèque Real Player...? Est-ce normal...? Est-ce une autre modification aux droits d'auteurs...?

S.V.P. donnez-moi une réponse à yvan_vincent "@" msn com

This is the best after Leroy Van Dyke I`ve heard yet - Connie great singer.
