Well I grew up in Crown Heights and so did Connie Francis, and even though she was an Italian shiksa, she spoke fluent Yiddish and even put out a very popular Yiddish Recording!
Francis was born on December 12, 1937, to an Italian-American family (one of her grandfathers having immigrated from Reggio Calabria in 1905)[2][3] in the Ironbound neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey, the first child of George Franconero (1911–1996) and Ida (née Ferrari-di Vito; 1911–2000). She spent her first years in the Crown Heights, Brooklyn area (Utica Avenue/St Mark's Place) before the family moved to New Jersey.[4] Growing up in a mixed Italian-Jewish neighborhood, Francis became fluent in Yiddish, which led her later to record songs in Yiddish and Hebrew.[4][5]

Is this what DIN calls “Acapella premium blend”?
Connie Francis had a sweet, lovely flowing voice. Those who missed her songs because of Kol Isha idiocy, forfeited a joyful experience.
Idiocy? Wow, what a heretic & prutzah! Urine’s plight is also a very bitter person

you are a filthy choiteh umachteh, a low-class koifer & roidef, and you know it.
DIN please delete this despicable creature from this blog. Thanks.
@Zako,
I suppose that to your unhinged perception of Yiddishkeit I am a choteh for enjoying the beautiful voices of my wife and daughter singing שיר המעלות with my extended family on שבת.
And DIN was praising a recording of Connie Francis’ , not her actual voice, you idiot.

You're the one who called Kol isha, a basic halocha, an "idiocy".
You don’t need much more to be a koifer & a roidef.
