"Who's Sorry Now?" is a popular song with music written by Ted Snyder and lyrics by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby. It was published in 1923. "Who's Sorry Now?" was featured in the Marx Brothers film ''A Night in Casablanca'' (1946), directed by Archie Mayo and released by United Artists. ==Versions== The song has been recorded by a number of artists. Some of the earliest versions were recorded by Irving Kaufman, Marion Harris, and Isham Jones. Johnnie Ray recorded his version in 1956 for the Columbia Records label. It reached number 17 in the UK Singles Chart in February 1956. The song was recorded in 1957 by Connie Francis, and since then the song has become closely identified with her due to the immense popularity of her version which was her breakout hit. Francis' father had pestered her to record "Who's Sorry Now" being adamant that the song would be a rock and roll smash hit. Francis did not share this enthusiasm but when an October 1957 recording session - scheduled to be Francis' last as she had scored no hits - wrapped early the singer used the leftover studio time to record "Who's Sorry Now" as a goodwill gesture to her father.〔Ron Roberts: ''Connie Francis Discography 1955–1975''〕 Breaking on January 1, 1958 - mainly on account of Dick Clark's championing of "Who's Sorry Now" on ''American Bandstand'' - the track rose to number 4 on the ''''Billboard'' Hot 100'' that spring, with eventual US sales totaling one million units. In the UK, "Who's Sorry Now" was number 1 for six weeks in May and June 1958.]. Marie Osmond's third studio album, released in 1975, featured a remake of "Who's Sorry Now" as its title cut; this version reached number 40 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 also ranking on ''Billboards C&W chart and Easy Listening chart at respectively number 29 and 21. Lyn Paul had a 1974 single release of "Who's Sorry Now" which approached the UK Top 50 that October but stalled at number 54. 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「Who's Sorry Now?」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
