Connie Stevens The Best Of Connie Stevens (LP)

(Raven Records Australia) 14 tracks - WEA masters

The pert and pretty young blonde steps into the spotlight at the Shell Bar. A spotlight catches her hair as she lifts her head to sing. And all across America, television audiences settle hack as Connie Stevens, in the role of Cricket on 'Hawaiian Eye',  sings songs as televiewers think they should be sung. In this album, Connie sings the same way... the way thousands of fans have written her they like to hear her sing: a lyrical. straight-forward approach that has the refreshing charm of a Waikiki breeze. Her repertoire is varied, as is the instrumental backing. Which is just the way Connie likes it because, as she pats it, 'what I really care most about is singing, all kinds of singing!' In fact, despite her popularity as an actress. Connie has always considered herself a singer first and an actress second. From her early teen years, when she unconsciously serenaded subway passengers on the way home from a Broadway musical, Connie has known that she has been fated to be a singer. The success of her popular single records has shown that the public agrees with her. 'Sixteen Reasons', 'Apollo',  'Mr. Songwriter' and many more hits are included in this album.
