Connie Francis version

Background

By 1967 Francis only scored minor hits, and the main chart she had success with, was the Adult Contemporary chart. [4] The new single followed a period of declining chart performance for Francis, [5] but unlike previous singles, completely missed the before mentioned AC chart, (then called the Easy Listening chart). [4] "Another Page" was the first of five singles that she released that year. It was produced by Charles Koppelman, Don Rubin, and by Pete Spargo on the B-side [6] and two years later featured on her 1969 album, The Wedding Cake . [7] The single was recorded in a session in late December 1966, along with the song "You Know You're Not Forsaken", which appeared in the same album as "Another Page", but didn't see a single release. [8]

Release and reception

"Another Page" was released as a seven-inch single in January 1967 by MGM Records. [6] It was backed by an Italian song written by Carl Sigman, Scarnicci Tarabusi and L. Luttazzi, [2] "Souvenir d'Italie" on the B-side, [6] which was lifted from her album Love, Italian Style , released at the same time as the single, but recorded in October 1966. The single was advertised as an "another hit". [9] [3]

Record World put the single in its "Four Stars" singles section, calling the single "Pop-rock-folk", and asked "do we hear a trace of country?" The magazine concluded with "Another strong side from Miss Francis." [1]

Cashbox reviewed the single in the middle of January and stated that it was a "...highly spirited, driving romp" that "could easily do it again for the lark." The magazine said to "Watch this folk-flavored ode closely." Cashbox also noted that the "Lush, shuffling, Mediterranean-oriented romancer", "Souvenir D’ltalie," could also "be a big one." [2]

Chart performance

In early 1967 the track bubbled under the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 21. [10] On other American music magazines the single was ranked higher, breaking into and peaking at number 98 on the Cashbox Top 100 Singles [11] and reaching number 3 on the Record World Up-Coming Singles chart. [12]
