Connie Francis: On The Dancefloor With Connie Francis (CD)

1-CD (Digipak) with 36-page booklet, 32 tracks. Total playing time: approx. 76 min.

• Off to the dancefloor with Connie Francis: Bear Family Records® cordially invites you!

• Our 'Dancefloor' CD series would be incomplete without a contribution from perhaps the most successful American singer of her time.

• 32 carefully selected rockers, fast songs, every single one will get you on the dance floor.

• Including Stupid Cupid, Lipstick On Your Collar, Vacation, Tweedle Dee, Mr. Twister and many more.

• Detailed information about Connie and the individual songs written by Bill Dahl in the illustrated and extensive booklet as well as carefully remastered recordings round off an extremely entertaining package.

One of the reasons Connie Francis was America’s hands-down hottest female vocalist during the late ‘50s and early ‘60s was her extreme versatility.

She could do it all and then some, squeezing every ounce of emotion out of an old Tin Pan Alley tearjerker, credibly singing in several different languages, and belting red-hot rock and roll that enlivened many a dance floor.

This collection concentrates solely on the latter - 32 prime examples of Connie’s beguiling way with up-tempo material that was aimed right at her worldwide teenage demographic.

Naturally, her best-known rockers are on board - Stupid Cupid (provided by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield, with Neil on piano), Lipstick On Your Collar with its jaw-dropping George Barnes guitar ride, the boisterous 1962 Top Ten hit Vacation - but plenty of deeper catalog sides are on offer too.

An infectious cover of LaVern Baker’s Tweedle Dee, the rousing Mr. Twister (co-written by future soul star Don Covay), a Sedaka/Greenfield-authored Baby Roo, the John D. Loudermilk-penned Hollywood and He’s Just A Scientist, and a silly but undeniably fun Robot Man that was a huge 1960 British seller all demonstrate Francis’ confident mastery of rock and roll (Francis wrote Plenty Good Lovin’ and I Won’t Be Home To You herself).

Connie’s inviting you out on the dance floor for non-stop fun on this generous compilation!

Obituary for Connie Francis (1937–2025)

A Voice for the Ages – Farewell to a Pop Icon It is with deep sorrow that we bid farewell to Connie Francis, one of the most successful and versatile singers of the 20th century. Her unmistakable voice, her musical range spanning rock’n’roll, pop, and heartfelt ballads, and her profound cultural impact across generations make her a true icon of modern music history. Born Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero on December 12, 1937, in Newark, New Jersey, she burst onto the international stage with the timeless hit “Who's Sorry Now” in 1958.

What followed was a string of global successes: “Where the Boys Are,” “Stupid Cupid,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” and “My Happiness” became cornerstones of the soundtrack to an era. Connie Francis also held a special place in German hearts. Her German-language recordings – including “Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel” and “Schöner fremder Mann” – turned her into one of the rare American artists who truly bridged the cultural divide between continents. Her fluency in style and language made her beloved by audiences around the world. At Bear Family Records, Connie Francis was always more than just a name in our catalog. She was a pillar of our musical ethos – representing timeless artistry, emotional depth, and international musical heritage. Our carefully curated reissues of her work stand as a testament to that enduring appreciation.

Despite facing enormous personal hardships – from severe health challenges to unimaginable family tragedies – Connie remained steadfast in her connection to music and to her fans. Her resilience and courage inspired far beyond the stage. We bow our heads in memory of a unique artist whose voice will echo on through generations.

The music of Connie Francis lives on – a timeless testament to the power of melody and emotion. Thank you, Connie. You will never be forgotten.
