Terry Sumner Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 When it comes to music, I certainly favor the oldies. Probably because I'm gettin' to be an oldie myself! Anyway...one of my favorite female singers from the 60's is Connie Francis. Well my darling daughter Rachel knows this and she does a lot of singing. Well one night we all went out to a Karaoke bar and she sang Connie Francis' "Where the Boys Are", which is one of my fave songs from Connie Francis. And the KJ recorded it on a CD. I tell ya, I get goose bumps sometimes when my daughter sings and this time she dedicated the song to me. So take less than 3 minutes and click on the link...it brings you to the Youtube site where I posted the recording. I hope you guys like it.
XJ6 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 That is really Cool...I happen to remember Connie Francis for my Mother would play her Records.. I Like Her and nice to hear it again..Thanks for Sharing....Cheers...
ffreak Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 That is so awesome Terry !! What a great tribute !! I too love the oldies as my first choice. Takes me back to my younger days when I built models and listened to my transistor radio !!
Terry Sumner Posted June 20, 2011 Author Posted June 20, 2011 Wow Terry! your daughter has an amazing voice! Yes she does...and she sure as heck did not inherit it from me! LOL
Guest Johnny Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) All I can say Terry is WOW!!! No one on American Idol has any more talent than she has! She sounds a lot like Olivia Newton John! Edited June 20, 2011 by Johnny
sjordan2 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) That's your daughter?? It's NOT Connie Francis??? She absolutely nailed one of the greatest pop songs of all times, and my compliments to the KJ for an excellent recording. I've produced a lot of songs for TV commercials in my career, and there's nothing like finding a huge talent that comes out of nowhere – she's got a real future. I still get goose bumps from the Connie Francis version, and this one does it all over again. Especially the last line. What a Happy Father's Day. Edited June 20, 2011 by sjordan2
Harry P. Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 She sounds very good! Maybe she should audition for American Idol. You never know what could happen...
sjordan2 Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) She sounds very good! Maybe she should audition for American Idol. You never know what could happen... No kidding. Wasn't she in Terry's previous avatar? If so, she's got all the right stuff. Edited June 20, 2011 by sjordan2
Terry Sumner Posted June 20, 2011 Author Posted June 20, 2011 Her mom and I tried to get her to try out for AI but she didn't want to. She sings in a 3 piece acoustic act that plays locally a lot. She has a good job...she was recently promoted and now is the Sales and Marketing Director of the Hard Rock at Foxwoods Casino here in Eastern Ct. And she got that position at age 24! She just turned 25 this past Friday! And the young lady in my former avatar wasn't my daughter...that was my cute 'lil grand daughter! Here's my daughter the singer...on the left. The beautiful babe on the right is my lovely wife! Be jealous boys...be jealous! Hosted on Fotki
GTMust Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Terry.... you're a lucky man. A beautiful daughter with a beautiful voice as well as a beautiful wife. You've got it made. Tony
Rob McKee Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Terry, You're daughter has a real talent. What a beautiful voice. Rob
roadhawg Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I think she sounds too good for American Idol. I agree! Shes VERY good, and thats a great choice to sing as well!

Dragracer Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 She's definitely has a great voice Terry, enjoyed listening to the tune.
crazyjim Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 WOW!! When is she going to record a CD? I've always loved Connie Francis and listen to oldies all the time. Nice voice.
