More Greatest Hits (Connie Francis album)
1961 compilation album by Connie Francis
More Greatest Hits is a compilation album by United States entertainer Connie Francis. The album features the songs from Francis' most successful singles on the American market from her 1959 hit "Among My Souvenirs" up to the date of the album's release in May 1961.
Background
The album is notable for its change in track listing after its initial release. First pressings of the album featured "Teddy" as track five of the B-side. Copyright issues between MGM Records, Francis' own song publishing company Francon Music Inc. and the song's composer Paul Anka led to the replacement of "Teddy" by the Kadish Millett composition "Valentino."
"Valentino" had never been a U. S. single but it had been a modest hit for Francis in Europe and was subsequently covered in the native languages of several European countries such as Germany (recorded by Caterina Valente as well as Angèle Durand) and The Netherlands (recorded by The Fouryo's). "Valentino" was also featured in different versions on the album: The stereo pressings contained the single vocal take of the song while the mono pressings contained the double vocal version where Francis harmonized with herself.
