Emma in Pink

Internationally, the song is generally connected with Italian-American singer Connie Francis. Francis recorded the song on October 1, 1962, (two All-Italian versions) and on November 3, 1962, (bilingual version Italian/English). Both All-Italian versions became huge hits in South America and Mexico; and the bilingual version became one of Francis' best selling Italian-flavored recordings in Asia, Europe and the U. S.[1] It remains a favourite in Francis' live concert repertoire to this day, and the bilingual studio version is frequently featured on Greatest Hits compilations.
