Connie Francis ~ Stupid Cupid (1958).wmv

„Stupid Cupid“ is a song written by Howard Greenfield and Neil Sedaka which became a hit for Connie Francis in 1958.
Francis cut „Stupid Cupid“ on 18 June 1958 at Metropolitan Studio (NYC); LeRoy Holmes conducted the orchestra while Morty Kraft produced the session. „Stupid Cupid“ provided a reasonably strong comeback vehicle for Francis reaching the Top 15 that August with a Billboard Hot 100 peak of #14.
In the UK Singles Chart Francis had made more chart impact than in the US with both „Who’s Sorry Now?“ (No. 1) and „I’m Sorry I Made You Cry“ (No. 11). This trend continued with „Stupid Cupid“ which, as a double sided hit with „Carolina Moon“, spent six weeks at No. 1. Francis would remain a potent UK chart force for the next four years with fifteen Top Twenty singles, eight of them Top Ten, but she would never again reach the top of the UK Singles Chart despite topping the US charts three times in the early 1960s.
