Description
Alongside Brenda Lee, Connie Francis was the most popular female singer of the R&B era, and like Brenda she was a child prodigy made good. This special 2CD set presents a comprehensive overview of Connie's early career, all these sides being recorded between 1955 - 1958.
Disc one features the ten discs she cut before her commercial breakthrough, including "The Majesty Of Love", a duet with Marvin Rainwater which would eventually go on to sell a million copies and also her first two hits, the million selling "Who's Sorry Now?" and "I'm Sorry I Made You Cry".
Disc two kicks off with the multi million selling "Stupid Cupid" & "Carolina Moon", and includes Connie's further worldwide hits "Fallin", "My Happiness", "I'll Get By" and "You Always Hurt The One You Love", alongside her first LP "Who's Sorry Now?" and several collectors rarities.
