Subtitled Connie's 15 Biggest Hits, this is an excellent compilation of this versatile singer, who was equally at home with ballads as with rock & roll style numbers. An extra six tracks on the CD version makes this an even more fantastic collection. (US:68)
"The choice of material here includes samplings of her ballad hits and her rock and roll hits. I must say that most of her recordings reflect talent, versatility and charm, not found in many vocalists, and certainly not the ones of today."
"Connie Francis has such a distinctive voice and I remembered it well from my younger years. Her phrasing makes you want to sing, these songs are timeless. Few female vocalists are as distinct. She had quite a few hits and all the ones I remember are here."
"Connie Francis made an amazing contribution to the burgeoning field of rock 'n' roll within a five year span. All of the important chart hits are found here from 1958-63. Connie brought a style to rock and roll singing that is similar in contribution to that of Elvis."
"Connie brought a sophistication to rock singing that was absent before her presence on the scene. Although overshadowed by her male contemporaries, Connie Francis stands the test of time, as this wonderful collection of hit records attests."
"The big hits were enough to make Francis the hottest singer of the period, and these were the recordings that gave her that status." "It is very interesting to hear her sing songs clearly aimed at the rock 'n' roll market and tracks that adults would also like."
