''Connie Francis Sings Modern Italian Hits'' is a studio album recorded by American entertainer Connie Francis. ==Background== The album featured cover versions of contemporary Italian hits previously recorded by other artists between 1958 and 1962, several of them being entries to the renowned Sanremo Festival. Winning songs of the festival were also Italy's contributions to the Eurovision Song Contest during the respective years. Most of the album's featured songs were recorded by Francis bilingually in English/Italian. Only "Addio, addio", "Nun è peccato", "Tango italiano", and "Ventiquattromila baci" were recorded entirely in Italian. The album's twelve tracks were chosen from a total of twenty-four finished recordings cut between November 9, 1961 and November 3, 1962.〔Ron Roberts: ''Connie Francis Discography 1955 – 1975''〕 Arrangements were provided by Cliff Parman,〔as above〕 Giulio Libano and LeRoy Holmes.〔Original album cover of ''Connie Francis sings Moder Italian Hits'', MGM Records 12" Album SE-4102〕 All three versions of the opening track, "Al di là" (for further details see below), were released either as a single or Extended Play (EP). Although the bilingual Italian/English version only peaked at # 90 in the United States, "Al di là" became Francis's most successful Italian single recording internationally, peaking at No. 1 in several countries.〔http://www.billboard.com/charts/1963-01-26/hot-100〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Connie Francis Sings Modern Italian Hits」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
