·    What took us so long? For all the lovers of female rockers who snapped up our Wanda Jackson collection “Queen Of Rockabilly” and Brenda Lee’s “Queen Of Rock’n’Roll”, we now turn our attention to Connie Francis. ""

 "

·    “Rockin’ Connie” spotlights the up-tempo side of the artist whose incredible 56 entries on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 mark her as the biggest-selling female of her day. Perhaps best known for her sentimental ballads, Connie recorded in a variety of styles, and for every ‘Among My Souvenirs’ in her vast catalogue there exists a terrific rocker like ‘Gonna Git That Man’, ‘Kiss ‘n’ Twist’ or ‘I’m Gonna Be Warm This Winter’. ""

 "

·    Connie had been singing songs such as ‘I’m Walkin’’ in her stage act since 1957 and with her boyfriend Bobby Darin she frequently visited the Apollo Theater in Harlem to see James Brown, Ray Charles and LaVern Baker, whose performances ensured that she was well schooled in the art of R&B. ""

 "

·    Tunes like ‘Hollywood’, ‘Johnny Darlin’’ and ‘Robot Man’ show that she had an intuitive feel for rock’n’roll. Drawn from the period 1957 to 1966, our compilation includes cult favourites ‘Fallin’’, ‘Eighteen’ and ‘Valentino’, obscure gems ‘Love Eyes’, ‘Lollipop Lips’ and ‘It’s A Different World’ and two songs co-written by the recently departed Ellie Greenwich.""
