"Everybody's Somebody's Fool", a successful hit recorded by Connie Francis could describe her own private life. She was married four times and suffered many blows at the hand of fate such as the loss of her voice, being raped, and the violent death of her brother. Even the musical career of Concetta Franconero, to use her real name, was long in gathering momentum until the hit "Who's sorry now?" came along and the neatly turned-out and charming Connie became a star with no airs and graces also in Europe. <br/><br/>We have put together in all 19 of her original albums and additional bonus songs in this box, which, sung in many languages, show the enormous versatility of America's greatest female pop-star. There are German versions of many of her songs, but she sang also duets with Peter Kraus as well as hits by Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley, songs from musicals, Country songs, Twist songs and Jewish folk-songs. Few female singers were as versatile as Connie Francis. She was for the man in the street the embodiment of the star as very few artists in her line were, and was very successful outside the USA.<br/><br/>These ten CDs offer the opportunity to hear again many, many evergreens such as "Stupid Cupid", "Love Me Tender", O Sole Mio and Volare, to mention just a few. World-wide this singer with much polished sentimentality in her voice had several hundred chart successes and the best of these can be heard in this box.

10 CD box set containing twenty classic original albums from the greatest blues artists of all time, including B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Charlie Patton, Robert Johnson, T-Bone Walker, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Freddy King and others.

Before André Previn made a name for himself as an internationally renowned conductor of symphony orchestras, he was considered one of the most skilled orchestrators, conductors and composers of American popular music - a "Hollywood-hero", who played a big part in the golden age of the "musicals" of the 1950s and 1960s. As one of the best jazz musicians in the United States and a truly gifted pianist, he was a key figure of the scene in California. Gathering congenial colleagues around himself, he recorded many albums, some of which have their fixed place in top ten lists and were awarded numerous prizes, such as the Oscar for "Porgy and Bess" and "Gigi". Both of these albums are included in this box-set with 13 original albums among highlights from the years 1955-1962, including "Duet", "West Side Story", "Double Play",<br/>"Collaboration", and "A Touch Of Elegance". Featured in these recordings are artists like Doris Day, Dinah Shore, Shorty Rodgers, J.J. Johnson, Russ Freeman and many more. Previn's outstanding recording of Gershwin's "Concerto in F" with Andre Kostelanetz can be heard as a bonus.
