Very Best Of Connie Francis Vol.1, The - Connie Francis

Advantages: Upbeat, she does pop quite well.
Disadvantages: Wheh she tries something that isn't pop. It fails miserably.

...like something else. This should be a single coz it's definately got number 1 potetntial! 6. Love Is The Only Light: This is the only song on the album were Geri sounds as though she's sincere in what she's saying. Not a great song but a nice ballad all the same. 7. Strength Of A Woman: Typical Geri. She's always going on about women being strong and now we're all forced to listen to how much better they are to men in her music - oh goodie! 8.

I was very impressed with Connie's performance of this on the Saturday night show though and I enjoy the audio version too. It has a lot of energy and she manages to resist the temptation to do a Marilyn impersonation, instead stamping her... Read review
