"Perhaps one of the most unlikely pairings, Connie Francis and Yiddish, combines traditional Jewish favorites and Connie's impeccable phrasing to create a stunning set. Francis proved almost four decades ago she could pull off just about anything musically. CONNIE FRANCIS SINGS JEWISH FAVORITES is a stirring, haunting and resonant album highlighting one of popular song's highly underrated and underappreciated vocal stylists. From the rowsing "Tzena, Tzena" to the heartbreaking "My Yiddishe Momme" to the haunting "Mom-E-Le" Connie Francis turns in an exciting and memorable listening experience, even for the most casual or reluctant fan of the singer or genre."

Nothing compares to Connie!

"The CD is a perfect classic collection of Jewish music. With it's enthusiastic celebrant sounds of the Jewish tunes we love, Connie adds her own zip and finesse to these unforgetable melodies! Certainly this CD is a must have! There simply is no comparision, just as you can't listen to anyone but Elvis singing Jail House Rock; so noone sings Hava Nagilah like Connie!"
