''Einmal komm' ich wieder'' is the fifth German single recorded by U. S. entertainer Connie Francis. After all her previous German singles had been cover versions of her U. S. hits, ''Einmal komm' ich wieder'' was the first single to feature two songs written especially in German. The A-side, ''Einmal komm' ich wieder'' (which translates to ''Some day I'll return''), was written by Werner Scharfenberger (music) and Fini Busch (lyrics) who had many hits to their credits as a songwriting team, such as the 1960 ''Seemann, deine Heimat ist das Meer'' which had been a sensational # 5 on the U. S. charts for Lolita. The song's composer, Werner Scharfenberger, also conducted the recording which took place March 15, 1961, at Austrophon Studio, located in the basement of Vienna's Konzerthaus.〔Richard Weize: ''Connie Francis'', companion book to 8-LP-Boxed Boxed Set ''Connie Francis in Deutschland'', Bear Family Records BFX 15 305, Hambergen/Vollersode (Germany) 1988〕 The single's B-Side, ''Immer und überall'' (meaning ''Always and everywhere'') was composed by Erwin Halletz, an Austrian orchestra leader whose credits – among many songs for the record market – include several operettas and musicals as well as many highly successful motion picture scores. When ''Einmal komm' ich wieder'' was released, it peaked at # 11 on the German charts.〔German Wikipedia Article on Connie Francis〕 In the wake of this success, Francis started to record compositions of German origin regularly until her contract with MGM Records ended in 1969. Werner Scharfenberger and Fini Busch as well as Scharfenberger and his second songwriting partner, Kurt Feltz, became Francis' favorite songwriting teams for the German market although she also recorded songs written by other composers. Francis also continued to record German cover versions of her U. S. hits but less frequently than before. Although it failed to chart, the single's B-side, ''Immer und überall'', was included in 1964 on Francis' album ''Connie Francis sings German Favorites'', a compilation of Francis' greatest German hits up to that date, instead of ''Einmal komm' ich wieder''. ==References== 〔 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「Einmal komm' ich wieder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
