This song " Where The Boys Are" [1960]. Made the City of Fort Lauderdale, Florida world famous. It became the Mecca of spring break for college students throughout the United States and Canada. Connie Francis also stars in the film by the same name. Brilliant!

Connie is another one of the great young lady singers of the late 50's - early 60's. Some of her hits were "Stupid Cupid", "My Happiness", "Among My Souvenirs", "Lipstick on Your Collar", "Who's Sorry Now" & "Frankie". She recorded many of her songs in other languages. And she did the singing voice for some actresses in a few movies.
Love Connie. She was built like a brick house and her voice was smooth as silk, even in old age. She also had a great sense of humor and entertained the troops at times. You have to watch the old movie “Where the Boys Are”.
Absolutely! She was a funny little fireball in that one and had a lot of "presence" in her very small role. It's one of my favorite beach movies because it included a cautionary tale in with some of the goofiness and her fun songs.
Connie Francis was a very nice , very kind and very talented Italian lady 💖 🇮🇹 she had a very hard life ; she went through a lot of bad things that no one should have to 😭 Thank You for reacting to her Beautiful music 🎵🎶 She had the voice of an Angel 😇 and a heart of gold to match 💕 You two are some of my favorite people in the world 🌍

So true my parents are Italian immigrants, Connie Francis was beloved by my hole family. Connie was married to a mobster, in the mafia. Her husband was extremely, physically and mentally abusive. I agree she had a hard life. Her beautiful music, is what got thru these difficult trying times. A beautiful sweet Italian lady. Still love listening to her music. 61 years old.

Shawn and Mel: I shared this video with Connie and she asked me to find a way to get in touch with you so she could thank you. I believe another friend of hers did the same. Perhaps you’ve heard from her already? I hope so!!
Several years ago, I taught some songs of Connie Francis (Mr. Love, Three Good Reasons and Never On Sunday) to my senior-high students in Jakarta, Indonesia.
This was Ft Lauderdale s song. Connie was so talented. Very kind to visit our soldiers in Vietnam during Bob Hope s Christnas shows there in the late 60 s and early 70 s I believe. Her voice was so beautiful. She can sing in Italian and Spanish also.
She doesn't just have a voice, her voice is Divine, a Godly or Heavenly gift, A Godsend for us to enjoy for years to come! She sang so effortlessly, her voice and tone is so smooth and perfect, and her range and control is unbelievable! I would say that without a doubt she's probably the best vocalist of all times even greater than some of the greats such as Elvis, Sinatra, Ray Charles, etc... She set the bar so high that you'd have to make it into Heaven to catch her!
@@miamidolphinsfan Don't get me wrong, Patsy Cline was very good. It's quite a shame she died young, it's actually a shame that both of their singing careers were cut short. Now on a personal note, there's just something about Connie Francis's voice that sets it apart from most others. There are a few others that were close such as Dolly Parton, Dusty Springfield, Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, Carrie Underwood, Leona Lewis, etc... However, since the time of posting this I've come across a beautiful young lady who has a heavenly voice and she kind of reminds me of a younger modern version of Connie. Her name is Lucy Thomas. She also does duets with her younger sister and they are great together. I still think Lucy has the better voice of the two but yeah every time I hear her voice... well let's just say you might want to check her out. You can find her here on Y.T. if you're not already familiar with her. She's done quite a few covers of some great classics. Two of them so far is Hallelujah, and a duet with her sister What a Wonderful World from Ray Charles. She's amazing.
I have been requesting that someone would react to Connie Francis for MONTHS!!! I was thrilled to see that you were reacting to her!!! She was a real treasure from day one!!! Thank you so much for playing her songs!! Please do more, she has SO MANY!!!

Connie's voice had a " cry " to it, that has never been equaled . She could hold a note like few singers i have ever heard. Loved her ! ----------------MJL, 77 y/o
Connie Francis was very popular in the late 50’s - 60’s ! I remember my older brother had an album of hers & we knew all the songs 💓 ‘Who’s Sorry Now’ in another of her big hits💜🇨🇦☮️
CONNIE FRANCIS has one of the greatest voices ever. I KNOW HER MUSIC AND THIS WOMAN CAN SING ANYTHING. LOVE HER VOICE Listen to TAMMY and LIPSTICK ON YOUR COLLAR., it's fun too.
Such a beautiful woman with an absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous voice. Connie Francis has come through some very sad and traumatizing events in her life. My favorite songs are "My Happiness" and "Whos Sorry Now" "Don't Break the Heart that Loves You" and of course the one you just listened to "Where the Boys Are"
What a superb choice, from 1960! You two have just been blessed again with hearing one of the finest female voices in music history. She was also one of the best selling artists of all time, with numerous #1 hits. (See listings in the other comments; plus her Country style US Billboard #1 ballad, "My Heart has A Mind Of its Own") I predict that Mel will be signing this one in the shower later.
As soon as she started singing, I broke out in tears. This song brings back so many memories when I was a teen. My summer romances. We had a summer home on a river. It was private and we had dances every night but Sunday. I had the same boyfriend for two summers. It was beautiful.
Connie FRancis had a ' cry" to her voice, that no one EVER had to the way she did. and, she could sing in up to 15 different languages, she was truly an international star.--------------------MJL, 76 y/o
I absolutely LOVE the fact that you two are listening to some of the older music because not a whole lot of other reactors are diving back so far. Or they only go back with certain artists. You guys have done so many different artists way back in the day like Connie. Good for you! Connie really had one of the BEST voices back then. She was quite popular and is still alive today. I believe she's Italian and can sing in multiple languages. Sadly she had tragedy happen to her in 1974 which took her out of the spotlight due to the trauma of the incident. Then, she underwent nasal surgery in 1977 which caused her to lose her voice. She gained some of it back but lost most of its strength. Nonetheless, it's always great to hear that amazing voice from these early recordings!
What a voice Connie Francis has! She had a lot of wonderful hits. I especially have fond memories of Lipstick on Your Collar because I was so young when it was released that I had to ask my Mom why lipstick on someone's collar was a problem. Now I can't imagine being that naive. LOL I like what you said about feeling as if you were in a daydream. That's exactly right; that's how she makes you feel. Singer Chris Isaak said a few years ago that he took his Mom to see Connie Francis and it was great. I'd love to see her live. That voice! I know I already said that, but it's exceptional. She did a gorgeous version of Senza Mamma from the opera Suor Angelica that you might want to check out. Not many pop singers do opera, but Connie Francis did.

My Mom let me stay up late to watch this, I felt so grown up even though I had no understanding or realization of what happened at the end. Rewatching it as an adult, my heart was broken for the young lady. A great song, a great movie, a great singer. This was over 50 yearsnago, I miss my Mom but hold her in my heart always.

No auto turn no pitch correction just pure Connie First this was the first generation with high fidelity recording so we can really hear what ppl sounded like in our homes. Before this it was poor transmitting AM Radio or 78's which had poor quality 33-1/3 gave us stereo
It's amazing that people actually cared about their craft. This was the Main theme from the romantic comedy movie that was a big hit, would you believe 1960? She also was part of the acting ensemble cast. Crystal clear voive and overall great singer.
With this song and the movie of the same name, she was responsible for popularizing Spring Break. Fort Lauderdale was never the same after this song and movie. She is honored in that city.

This was for the title soundtrack of the movie "where the boys are", which she also starred in. It was an above average teen movie for the time about college kids going to Florida for Spring break. You should check it out. Connie also has a series of Italian songs that are absolutely amazing.
I am currently reading a biography of Agnetha Falkskog (the Blonde from ABBA) and it talks about how when she was a teen she had a big collection of Connie Francis records and just used to listen to them over and over and over and how she was one of the biggest influences in her musical career and journey and you can certainly feel that influence in her ABBA vocals. Fabulous, both of them. You just don’t get wonderful music like this anymore!
She just hits such notes and never sounds like she is screaming like the singers today. You need to get into her Italian Hits, like Al Di La, it’ll amaze you.
She also played in the Movie of "Where the Boys Are" about college kids going on Spring break in Florida and all the same controversy we are experiencing today.

This has been a favorite since Mom first played it in 1960, I was three and Mom told me I would put down my toys and follow the piano for this song, I still have that talent and am amazed at Connie's Voice, this song was written by Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka at the Brill building in New York City! Might want to try Goodnight My Love by Paul Anka!!
I saw her in concert in the 1970s. I knew she could sing but her voice was much better when I saw her. Oh the constraints put on the young singers at her time was crazy.
Connie Francis was one of the greatest singers ever. Back in the day, the boys, wherever they are, were drooling when she sang, lol. this was the song for the movie of the same name, that she was also in.
you have too look into her 3000 song catalogue and in 15 languages [still a record]. Give these to start off with IT WOULD STILL BE WORTH IT, BORN FREE, THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM,
That song was from the movie by the same name filmed in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1963 about the beginning of "Spring Break" !! I was 15 yo and watched it being filmed just hoping I would see Connie !! I LOVED HER !! Love you guys too !! One more verse and chorus and I think Shawn would start tearing up !!

Connie Francis is a female icon too. For those of us young teenagers in the early 60's, we loved her!,
Love that you guys are willing to dive deep in to the older music.
I've actually heard some older stuff I've never heard before on here.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!
Old is Gold

I have been requesting that someone would react to Connie Francis for MONTHS!!! I was thrilled to see that you were reacting to her!!! She was a real treasure from day one!!! Thank you so much for playing her songs!! Please do more, she has SO MANY!!!

@@wallacecallow2255 , thank you for that information!!! It never occurred to me!!!
@@nancymunroe3672 thanks for your wonderful wishes and comment it's a pleasure to me. If you don't mind I will like to have a personal conversation with you to know more about your good thoughts and advise towards me as a fan of mine.
@@conniefrancis4743 I would love to have you as a friend. I have loved you and your great talents since your beginning!! I am friends with Keith Angstead for sometime because of his radio station playing so much of your music. Take care of yourself and your wonderful treasure!!!
I love Connie Francis! I think she was one of the best female crooners! 💜
Connie's voice had a " cry " to it, that has never been equaled . She could hold a note like few singers i have ever heard. Loved her ! ----------------MJL, 77 y/o
No auto tune. You need to review her live performances of Born Free and The Impossible Dream. One of the all time greats!
Two of her very best!!
Connie Francis had a wonderful voice. Where the boys are is her signature song. Thank you for playing that song. Just awedome
Connie also recorded some songs with a 14 year old Hank Williams Jr. One of the songs was Send me the pillow that you dream on. Check it out!
Breaking In A Brand New Broken Heart, Someone Else’s Boy, Who’s Sorry Now, epic and legendary by this lovely lady.
Connie Francis was very popular in the late 50’s - 60’s ! I remember my older brother had an album of hers & we knew all the songs 💓 ‘Who’s Sorry Now’ in another of her big hits💜🇨🇦☮️
CONNIE FRANCIS has one of the greatest voices ever. I KNOW HER MUSIC AND THIS WOMAN CAN SING ANYTHING. LOVE HER VOICE Listen to TAMMY and LIPSTICK ON YOUR COLLAR., it's fun too.
Such a beautiful woman with an absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous voice. Connie Francis has come through some very sad and traumatizing events in her life.
My favorite songs are "My Happiness" and "Whos Sorry Now"
"Don't Break the Heart that Loves You" and of course the one you just listened to "Where the Boys Are"
Connie Francis OMG good good good!!!
Connie had 35 top 40 hits in the 50's and 60's, lots of ballads but also some upbeat numbers like "Everybody's Somebody's Fool"
What a superb choice, from 1960! You two have just been blessed again with hearing one of the finest female voices in music history. She was also one of the best selling artists of all time, with numerous #1 hits. (See listings in the other comments; plus her Country style US Billboard #1 ballad, "My Heart has A Mind Of its Own") I predict that Mel will be signing this one in the shower later.
This song was written by Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka for Connie and the movie in which it was the title song! It became Connie's signature song!
There was a teen movie by the same name.. that’s where this great song came from
Also do her song Lip stick on your collar which was a fun one!!!
I loved that movie as a kid...i thought that was what my older life would look like...haha
AND Connie was IN the movie "WHERE THE BOYS ARE"
I'm 75, to this day my favorite song ever,ever!
Her singing voice and face are quite delightful! Adorable!
As soon as she started singing, I broke out in tears. This song brings back so many memories when I was a teen. My summer romances. We had a summer home on a river. It was private and we had dances every night but Sunday. I had the same boyfriend for two summers. It was beautiful.
Connie FRancis had a ' cry" to her voice, that no one EVER had to the way she did. and, she could sing in up to 15 different languages, she was truly an international star.--------------------MJL, 76 y/o
Both Patsy Cline and Timi Yuro had a similar emotional characteristic to their singing styles.
This was way back before auto-tune, when singers had deep singing talents and naturally beautiful voices. Love the range of genres you cover.
Oh how I love this song and the movie it came from. She is a musical treasure.
I absolutely LOVE the fact that you two are listening to some of the older music because not a whole lot of other reactors are diving back so far. Or they only go back with certain artists. You guys have done so many different artists way back in the day like Connie. Good for you! Connie really had one of the BEST voices back then. She was quite popular and is still alive today. I believe she's Italian and can sing in multiple languages. Sadly she had tragedy happen to her in 1974 which took her out of the spotlight due to the trauma of the incident. Then, she underwent nasal surgery in 1977 which caused her to lose her voice. She gained some of it back but lost most of its strength. Nonetheless, it's always great to hear that amazing voice from these early recordings!
We just watched Where The Boys Are two nights ago. When my mother in law was young she looked like Miss Francis.’s twin, she was beautiful
Connie Francis, a lady with a beautiful voice who had many hit songs, starting with Who's Sorry Now."
My dad used to play her. Her voice is divine all my itself!
Her voice is beautiful and so is she! Wow
FABULOSA CONNIE😗❤🇨🇱
What a voice Connie Francis has! She had a lot of wonderful hits. I especially have fond memories of Lipstick on Your Collar because I was so young when it was released that I had to ask my Mom why lipstick on someone's collar was a problem. Now I can't imagine being that naive. LOL I like what you said about feeling as if you were in a daydream. That's exactly right; that's how she makes you feel. Singer Chris Isaak said a few years ago that he took his Mom to see Connie Francis and it was great. I'd love to see her live. That voice! I know I already said that, but it's exceptional. She did a gorgeous version of Senza Mamma from the opera Suor Angelica that you might want to check out. Not many pop singers do opera, but Connie Francis did.
Thank you for this ! Connie Francis had one of the purest voices I’ve ever heard. Truly beautiful song too , my favorite CF song . Y’all take care

My absolute favorite female voice! And this song was out a couple decades before I was born.
what a pure powerful voice. She was sexually assaulted as a young woman and it took awhile for her to come back from it but she had the guts to do it
Great reaction! You guys need to check out her song, “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool!” It’s one of my favorites!

This dreamy feeling is exactly what was significant for the music backinthe day. You can imagine how we react to some of the music of today.
My childhood Idol! She's the best.
Those were the songs. Sing about love and emotions in such a nice and relaxing way. Makes you want to hold your special someone and appreciate the moment. Great reaction.

I love your feedback on old music, it’s a pleasure to be on your channel. Connie Francis has a beautiful voice.
Best female singer ever, bar none! Oh, how I miss those days.
so right!
My Mom let me stay up late to watch this, I felt so grown up even though I had no understanding or realization of what happened at the end. Rewatching it as an adult, my heart was broken for the young lady. A great song, a great movie, a great singer. This was over 50 yearsnago, I miss my Mom but hold her in my heart always.
One of my favorite female singers of the day. Love the woman’s voice. Top female singer at that time. Just love her!
They didn't call her America's Sweetheart for nothing.....
A living Legend, and sooo worth the time to visit her talent.
Thank you :)

Connie had some monster hits back in the day. Love your channel because your reactions are so great and you’re open to all music genres. Keep up the great reactions. Oh BTW if you want to hear a great romantic song from the doo wop era, please give a listen to Jesse Belvin and “Goodnight My Love”. You won’t be sorry. Thanks.

In the song, "Al Di La" she sings the verses in english and Italian. She does a fantastic job on this song! Try it, you'll like it!
God bless you both - she's is a dream come true, thank you for introducing her legacy to the 21st century. Dude your joy is contagious, she had you as soon as the song started!
Such an angelic voice.
If you've heard the song American Pie, the line that says, "When the jester sang for the king and queen", she was considered the queen.
Connie Francis IS my all time favorite singer.
What a wonderful, beautiful voice 💓 so glad you guys feel the music!

Roy Clark's version was the best!

No auto turn no pitch correction just pure Connie First this was the first generation with high fidelity recording so we can really hear what ppl sounded like in our homes. Before this it was poor transmitting AM Radio or 78's which had poor quality
33-1/3 gave us stereo
This is from artists who can REALLY sing ! thank you for this 👍
Please more of Connie....she had many, many hits.........
It's amazing that people actually cared about their craft. This was the Main theme from the romantic comedy movie that was a big hit, would you believe 1960? She also was part of the acting ensemble cast. Crystal clear voive and overall great singer.
WOW BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL VOICE
GREAT SONG VERY NICE
LOVE LOVE HER VOICE ❤♥
With this song and the movie of the same name, she was responsible for popularizing Spring Break. Fort Lauderdale was never the same after this song and movie. She is honored in that city.
Wow, I haven't heard that in 50 years. Sounds better now than back in the 60's.

This was for the title soundtrack of the movie "where the boys are", which she also starred in. It was an above average teen movie for the time about college kids going to Florida for Spring break. You should check it out. Connie also has a series of Italian songs that are absolutely amazing.
Yes it’s a shame no one reacts to the Italian songs especially Al Di La, Mala are I a, Mama. It’ll blow their mind!
Darn auto correct, that middle song was Mala Femina
Another great female Italian singer from the same era was Timi Yuro. I believe Shawn and Mel have already done one of her biggest hits; "Hurt".
When I was a kid I was in love with Connie. My favorite songs were 'Guess My Heart Has A Mind Of It's Own', and 'Everybody's Somebody's Fool'. 💘
Connie Francis voice was incredible! ❤
She was amazing. One could not wait for her next record. You really could not get enough of it.
I love the movie “Where the Boys Are”. My sweet Mama introduced me to lots of old great movies. Thanks for the memories y’all. 💗
Such an angelic voice. What else can one say?
I love this music 🎶classic, voices of 😇😇😇pure talents .
This was our music. Slow dancing at a sock hop in the gym. Will there ever be another time like that again.
I am currently reading a biography of Agnetha Falkskog (the Blonde from ABBA) and it talks about how when she was a teen she had a big collection of Connie Francis records and just used to listen to them over and over and over and how she was one of the biggest influences in her musical career and journey and you can certainly feel that influence in her ABBA vocals. Fabulous, both of them. You just don’t get wonderful music like this anymore!
Connie Francis !!! Yay and thank you! . Did you react to stupid cupid? And Lipstick on your collar
My Happiness? And my special favorite, Frankie!!!
She just hits such notes and never sounds like she is screaming like the singers today. You need to get into her Italian Hits, like Al Di La, it’ll amaze you.
She also played in the Movie of "Where the Boys Are" about college kids going on Spring break in Florida and all the same controversy we are experiencing today.

@@conniefrancis4743 Is this for real? . I have loved your music forever. Thank you for the music ❤️
She has an amazing voice.
She’s my Mom’s all time fav singer 🎤
Such a beautiful voice and a beautiful lady. So many great songs.
Great song from 1960! Written by Neil Sedaka. Connie does a disco version of Where The Boys Are on her album, "Who's Happy Now".
How can you top Connie's great voice? I could listen to her all day she never recorded a bad song
This has been a favorite since Mom first played it in 1960, I was three and Mom told me I would put down my toys and follow the piano for this song, I still have that talent and am amazed at Connie's Voice, this song was written by Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka at the Brill building in New York City! Might want to try Goodnight My Love by Paul Anka!!
hey guys we enjoy your show daily keep the hits coming GOD BLESS
I have watched that Movie a million times and listened to this song twice as many times! Takes me back to being young again! Gotta go get tissues now!
I saw her in concert in the 1970s. I knew she could sing but her voice was much better when I saw her. Oh the constraints put on the young singers at her time was crazy.
Even better live than on records...very rare today and then. Charisma added to her vocal talents.
That lady gots some pipes y’all! She can bellow! Great tone on the vocal register!
She has many great songs such as who's sorry now,my heart has a mind of its own,and many romantic Italian songs.One of new jerseys finest singers
Connie Francis was one of the greatest singers ever. Back in the day, the boys, wherever they are, were drooling when she sang, lol. this was the song for the movie of the same name, that she was also in.
What a voice!
I don’t recall ever hearing of Connie Francis until I saw her on your channel. Now I feel like I need to look into her music. Such a great voice.
It always surprises me when someone says he/she never heard of her as she was just as big as Elvis throughout the world.
you have too look into her 3000 song catalogue and in 15 languages [still a record]. Give these to start off with IT WOULD STILL BE WORTH IT, BORN FREE, THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM,
Every high school prom slow dance song in the early 1960s.
Title cut from movie of same name, also hit a big hit with "WHO'S SORRY NOW" 1958.
They already reacted to WSN.
@@Shrinksjp and?
@@victorcowboywest and? She had many, many big hits.
That song was from the movie by the same name filmed in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1963 about the beginning of "Spring Break" !! I was 15 yo and watched it being filmed just hoping I would see Connie !! I LOVED HER !! Love you guys too !! One more verse and chorus and I think Shawn would start tearing up !!
