Thanks for posting this wonderful interview. Apparently, Connie was 79 years old at the time. She is so resilient in addition to a great musical talent!
People watching this you are looking at AMERICAS MOST TALENTED TREASURE ! This lady is the finest singer and performer of our time. We are so happy and proud to be able to watch her like this. Jeff
I just turned 78 & I have loved you & your songs! My best friend (now deceased) had & played all your 45’s you ever made! My favorite being My Happiness!!
I'M SO VERY THANKFUL I GOT TO SEE HER IN VIETNAM! I WAS IN A SECURE 🔐 AREA IN PHU CAT AIR BASE. WE GOT TO VISIT FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. I GOT TO SEE HER AND BOB HOPE WHILE THERE. I HAVE "WHERE THE BOYS ARE" & I'VE ONLY WATCHED IT ABOUT 30 TIMES. I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN THERE IN LAUDERDALE. I DIDN'T BOTHER CONNIE FOR AN AUTOGRAPH BECAUSE I'M SURE SHE GOT TIRED OF ALWAYS HAVING TO SIGN HER NAME. BY THE WAY: I WAS IN VIETNAM IN 1967. I WAS AMAZED AT HOW SHORT CONNIE WAS. I'M 5 FT 6 INCHES & SHE LOOKED LIKE AROUND 5 FT 1 INCH. WHAT A VOICE SHE HAD. 🤠 OKIE COWBOY
Been listening to Miss Frances music for 59 years and I still love her dearly. Connie's music hepled me through a year of Rheumatic Fever in 1960. Momma brought a record player to my hospital room so that I could have Connie sing just for me. SWEET MEMORIES 💖 Vickie
Very wonderful Connie took time to answer so many questions from her fans especially accepting a live phone call from a teacher with questions from students. It seems Ron Roberts was at lost for words calling from UK. Touching about the vet who still has Connie's autograph he received from her when she performed in Vietnam in 1967. Thanks to Diane and others for working all the details and logistics for Connie.
I've been a Connie fan since "Lipstick on Your Collar" hit the AM airwaves. Her duet with Andy Williams ("Watch What Happens") is my most treasured TV clip of all her performances. Magic is not too strong a word to describe the moment. If anyone has not seen it yet I believe it is still on RU-vid.
This woman needs to be In the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame I don’t understand, they picked others that are not even icons like Connie Francis ! Long overdo!

@@thomasjordan5578 thanks for your wonderful wishes and comment it's a pleasure to me. If you don't mind I will like to have a personal conversation with you to know more about your good thoughts and advise towards me as a fan of mine.
@@thomasjordan5578 OK yeah I would have love to continue this conversation over here but it's against my policy.. So it's will be of great pleasure to me by dropping your email address so I can write to you over there and as soon as you receive my messages you can take it off for security reasons OK..
I just watched her singing on the Ed Sullivan show. She sang “where the boys are” to the soldiers of our nation. It was very moving. I fell absolutely in love with her! Those veterans must have felt the same way! If you haven’t seen it, look it up on RU-vid. You won’t regret it!
So great to see this interview! I've been a fan of hers since I was about 15 years old! She's amazing still. Always gracious. Fantastic personality! And what an attitude!!! No Poor Me from this lovely lady. If Connie reads this, all of my high school and college friends adored you too! ♥️♥️♥️
She is just such a sweetheart and quite bright and insightful. G-d bless you Connie! You had some ups and downs like many people in life but your resilient and strong and persevered and still are gorgeous!

I have enjoyed this charming and informative interview. Ms. Francis was very gracious and so generous of her time. May she know deep in her heart how very loved and appreciated she is. I also want to point out how gently and respectfully Diane (?) is aiding her in this book signing.
A Legend with beauty intelligence humble with amazing incredible voice still remember her experiences during her career as a singer love her so much love hearing her evergreen songs❤
I was so hoping to watch live and I had to miss it, due to a work event I had to help manage. But I did submit a question and bought a copy of the book! I love Connie Francis!
And Ken, Connie did get your question read (as you can see from the above). I noted too that she had a very flattering comment on your fine career! How lovely, and a nice keepsake too. Robert
I'm must thrilled, Charles! I was so happy to see that a video had been made of the live stream! Yes, it's a beautiful keepsake. I'll soon be guest-hosting another episode of "A Visit With Connie Francis." Can't wait!
That's great, Ken. I will look forward to hearing you again guest-hosting an upcoming "Visit with Connie." Like you, I have long had a real appreciation of her singing and stage presence. I have been a fan for decades, and thrilled to each of her many, many appearances on television in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s. I had the opportunity to meet her twice after her concerts in the early 1980s. Her 1985 performance at the Westbury Music Fair was spectacular--she was in great voice and looked simply stunning. I also was there for her return to performing at that same venue in late 1981. That was an emotional return for her and her audience; by 1985 she was as good as she has ever been.
This is wonderful! Thank you, Diane Linden Thomas, for asking my question for me. And thank you SO MUCH, Connie for answering - and for your kind words about my singing and recordings! Love, Ken

Connie is younger than my Mom. Mom sang and played piano and you remind me of her, Connie. I was listening to "Winter Wonderland" and your voice was better and happier than the other singers on the Christmas CD. I think the accordion helped you in your musicality with your voice. The autoharp helped me with my voice! I am inspired by you and I think listening to you will help my voice. You are not like 50,000 singers. Ministry is full of rejection as well. Maybe sometimes church is like show business!
I've been an admirer of hers for about sixty years.Like her,I was a performer on various different instruments between 1961 and a few years ago.I transcribed some of her hits into alto and tenor saxophone features and on trumpet.I did "Time Alone Will Tell" on trumpet and "Be Anything But Be Mine" for alto saxophone.I also transcribed one track for tenor sax.It was her "Connie Francis Sings Modern Italian Hits" from 1964 and her late '50s bomb "Goody Goodbye" also a tenor sax feature which I sketched out a big band arrangement.

Wonderful, interesting, beautiful Connie answered my question about a fav memory of Les Reed OBE on her thrilling program today! I love Connies album "Connie sings Les Reed Songs" Her Italian albums too!
Was in high school heard her song My Happiness and Perry Como Song Rose Tattoo since that time both are my favorite female and male singers.. nice watching both their videos through YOU TUBE..

Helas tous le monde veilli et c'est bien dommage mais elle reste bien elle etait si belle meme merveilleuse je lui souhaite de vivre jusqu'à ses cent ans et meme plus une si belle voix ne peut nous quitté je vous souhaite encore beaucoup de belle chose soyer heureuse chere Madame Connie Francis je vous embrasse de Belgique Au Revoir
The legend ever great, her music holding up and still being one of the gold standards for which all other female singers are measured critically and commercially. A true survivor, a high resolution Super Audio CD of some of her hits sold out and a series of all her albums on audiophile vinyl is long overdue. She gave a great interview recently on Tony Orlando's WABC Saturday Night radio show as well. If Brenda Lee can get to #1, connie deserves to come back too!
Dear Connie Francis. You are such lovely professional Lady. I was a Teenager Idol and still am as a Adult. I hope Hollywood Movies 🍿 will make a Motion Picture on The Story of Connie Francis. Lorraine Louzzo

@@conniefrancis4743 Thank our Father in Heaven for the strength! Life is filled with goodness and at times Satan's followers try to pull us down. You, I and many other have been challenged by them and their evil deeds. You have shown the world and I mean the world the truth. God gave us power over Satan and his followers. Truly I have a great deal of respect for you and your accomplishments. Father has seen you will live on long after He has taken you home. Look at all the lives you have touched because of life's challenges. You've stayed strong where many would have given up. Many may ask how can you be so strong? The Power of God! Soon you will face the one who challenged your life and Father will be standing beside you when you do. My respect to you and yours. The words Thank you is all I can say for the love you have given to me and so many others. See you on the Lord's Day!

Young Connie Francis was very famous around the globe in 1950s and 1960s. I love her beautiful voice. But I am so sad. My problem is...I was born in 1974. I didn't see her famous on stage. I was too late!
Absolutely love Connie, would love to read her book " Among my Souvenirs " I'm sure it's a wonderful book and worth the money, unfortunately I looked it up and a little out of my range. Maybe someday

STAY safe and well. Practice pep SINCERELY Xoxo DANICA
One of the great injustices in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is the absence of Ms. Francis. Perhaps her versatility in singing all types of music has caused some to forget that in the 1950s and early 1960s, she had many R & R hits, more than many members of the Hall of Fame. It is certainly not too late for the HOF to correct this injustice, but it will be a shame if they do not do it while she is alive to enjoy the recognition. Everyone who agrees should let them know that she richly deserves to be a member.

when i was a small child i heard her the very first time and i fell in love with her singing style, but i feel so sorry for her, she must be really ill. She is completely rigid and without facial expressions, as if she had to take strong medication. god bless this Lady 🙏🏻❤️
