Movie Greats Of The 60s is a studio album recorded by U. S. Entertainer Connie Francis. The album features songs from the soundtracks of then current and/or recent motion pictures.
The recording of the featured song spawned a time of more than a year with "Forget Domani" being recorded on March 24, 1965 as the first song and "Somewhere, My Love (Lara's Theme)" being recorded on May 31, 1966 as the last song.[1] During the sessions, Francis worked with several renowned arrangers and orchestra leaders such as Frank De Vol, Benny Golson and Don Costa.
The album was released in July 1966 as MGM Records 12" Album E-4382 (mono pressings) and SE-4382 (stereo pressings).
In May 1967, Francis used the instrumental playbacks of nine of the album's featured songs and overdubbed Spanish vocals. "Dance my trouble away", "I will wait for you", and "The Phoenix Love Theme (Senza fine)" were ommitted and not re-recorded in Spanish. By adding "Donde hay chicos" (already recorded in 1960), the Spanish version of "Where The Boys Are", the title song from Francis' own movie of the same name, a set of ten Spanish songs was compiled and released in July 1967 as a 12" album under the name "Grandes Exitos del Cine de los Años 60". With an identical cover design, "Grandes Exitos del Cine de los Años 60" was virtually the Spanish edition of "Movie Greats Of The 60s" with a slightly modified track listing.[2]
