"The Wedding Cake" by Connie Francis

The heavenly voice of Connie Francis made her the queen of pop through the 50s and 60s. She was no stranger to the top of the charts with #1 smashes like "Everybody's Somebody's Fool," "My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own," and "Don't Break The Heart That Loves You." She also had a successful run in the movies spawned by "Where The Boys Are," which was also a #4 hit for her in 1961.

Her last charting song in the 60s came in 1969 with the underrated tune, "The Wedding Cake." This bittersweet and realistic look at marriage only got to #91, but I don't think it should have been divorced from the charts so quickly.
