Favourite Love Songs by Connie Francis

Everybody’s somebody’s fool – My favourite love song by Connie Francis

“Everybody’s somebody’s fool, everybody’s somebody’s baby, there are no exceptions to the rule, yes everybody’s somebody’s fool.” It feels like words of wisdom. I heard this song when I was a kid, and about ten years ago my wife bought me a three tape pack of Connie’s famous songs. I used to drive taxi on night shift, and always had her singing to me when I was coming in from a far away city. When I was alone in the car, I would turn up the volume, and it was as if I could feel the beating of her heart as she sang those heart rendering songs.

Jealous heart

One time in the taxi, I was driving a woman and her children to Niagara Falls, and I suspected she was leaving her husband. I was playing the tape of Connie singing this song, and she started crying, saying that the song was so true.

Heartaches by the number

I was very shocked when I read her book of how she was attacked in her motel room. It must have been a terrible ordeal. I used to think that the rich and famous people had it made, and lived such peaceful happy lives. I guess I was wrong. I was shocked when I read Debbie Reynold’s book of how she was robbed in her Hollywood home. She could have been killed, and the same with Connie Francis. So, none of us are immune to troubles.

I walk the line

When I was a kid hearing her sing this song, I had never even heard of Johnny Cash, who wrote the song and originally recorded it. In different parts of the world we hear and see things very differently from the people in America. I love the music backing on her recordings. When I read her book, it was her dad who arranged and paid for the band. When she wasn’t getting anywhere, she decided to quit, and arranged to get a steady job. Then she heard her song on the TV: “Who’s sorry now” and that changed everything. Even these now famous people have their times when they find it hard to be a success, and want to quit.

My Happiness

I found myself singing this song the other day while driving the car, and it is still one of my favourite love songs. Many singers have sung this song, but I love her harmony.

A LOT OF HER SONGS HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF THE NET. I also have a Gospel web site. If you want to check it out, go to:  http://countrygospelandbible.com/
