    Connie Francis deserves a lot more credits than what She has, not only in the R&R Hall of Fame but also the Country & International as She is the only one ever to sing in so many different languages. Such a true blessing! Have been a fan of Her ever since I was a Teen.

      @@suave-rider No excuse for not inducting the very best. I previously gave you some female equivalents, but there're plenty more inductees that haven't had anywhere near the same level of worldwide impact, success, and longevity. I suggest that her exclusion is entirely based on internal politics...

Earlier in 2/67, my brother who was stationed in Greece, but his friend was killed in Nam. In '05 my son's friend was killed in Afghanistan. RIP BOYS.

  • @darcmadr6500

    No one with any sense could expect her to deliver a studio quality version of this song after so many years. It was all about being in the 'moment', her presence acting to coalesce scattered and barely recalled wispy memories into something a little more tangible if only for a brief time. Is it not possible to celebrate the accomplishments of the past and still honor the person of the present?

    • @mmjhcb

    Words fail me to describe the legendary Connie Francis. I absolutely love her music period. I remember seeing the movie "Where The Boys Are" It is a movie in which you can forget the outside world and enter into a time and place where the outside world does not exist. This is one of the very few movies that had that effect on me. Connie was always a beautiful soul and woman and will forever remain alive. There are a lot of posts about why Connie has not been inducted into the RR Hall of Fame. I certainly agree with these posters. Her voice took down the world by storm and her music can never be matched. My favourite song is "My Heart Has A Mind Of Its' Own" A beautiful soul who is more than worthy of her contribution to music and earn the right to be inducted into the RR HALL OF FAME. Thank you Connie for all your music and for sharing it with the world.

      I grew-up singing and I stopped in my mid 20's then I tried to start again in my late 30's..I was shocked at how my voice just did not have the same quality or strength that it had as a teenager/ 20 something..So I get it and to be honest I think she did an amazing job.Just like stated below all of the pressure that she must have felt due to her fans wanting to her the younger version of herself had to have played a huge part on her performance..

    I was in my 20's in the 60's, and on one beautiful summer day there was Connie Francis standing at an outside counter in midtown having a cool refreshing drink. I couldn't believe my eyes, I shyly approached her, she was so pleasant, so beautiful and her smile was pure sunshine. I said " your Connie Francis" can I get your autograph? I pulled out a piece of paper and pen and she gave me the autograph.....I was so happy. I wished her well and went on my way. Within a few months someone had stole that autograph from my home, even though it had my name on it....to this day I can't forget my meeting Connie Francis and having her autograph. I also curse whom ever stole my autograph.

I was 22 and she was 34 , she told me she just bought a house and we talked like we were friends and perhaps more ? She asked me do I like kids ? And do I wanna get married ? I should of said you mean us ? Lol " Then later she asked to sit next to me , Then pulls up a chair sitting very close to me " saying oh my feet are so sore .. I said really And she said yeah " so then she starts rubb ing her legs and takes off her shoes rubbing her feet right before my very eyes ..

    Connie Francis was one of those singers I admired when I was a teenager. She was such a beauty too. And it is nice to see 50 years later she can still sing. The song is very good and brings to me some remembrances. So good that Ariana Grande did recently a cover of it.

    To the critics, I'd love to hear them sing this when they are 72. This is a classy lady with a great contribution to American music.

      Actually, many singers can still perform as they did when they were younger, from Tony Bennett to Mike Clifford, the latter of whose delivery is uncanny for his age.

      Judith Durham still sounds very similar to what she sounded like back then.

      did somebody say something critical in a vain pathetic attempt to take some of the twinkle from this bright star and beautiful soul ?
      persons gotta have something really wrong with them not to love everything about Connie .

    I was in the military when that movie came out in 1960. I caught it at a theater when I was home on leave. Great movie, great song and most importantly... a great lady. Thank you, Connie, for all the wonderful memories..

    My parents had a condo in Fort Lauderdale and used to be snow birds going there for years. Connie Francis was a huge singer in the 60;s. A great voice. she looks and sounds awesome.
