Connie videos

Diana writes: Maybe you're thinking of the video 'Connie Francis: The Legend Live', a recording of a concert at the London Palladium in the 1980s, which I obtained from Bear Family Records and is still in their current catalogue. I suggest you write to them at Bear Family Records, PO Box 1154, D-27727 Hambergen, Germany, and ask for a catalogue - they have quite a list of Connie albums and compilations, and even a slim book of pictures (in German but the photos don't need translating!).

Careful USA residents. These videos from Germany are on the PAL system and are NOT compatible with the USA's NTSC system.

You may want to put this on the list. Barnes and Noble is listing a cd titled Connie Sings Buddy to be released July 17, not a bad price. I think 12.97. Charlie
