"Whose Heart Are You Breaking Tonight?" is a song written by Ted Murry and Benny Davis and most notably performed by Connie Francis.[1]
Release and reception
"Whose Heart Are You Breaking Tonight?" was released as a seven-inch single in January 1965 by MGM Records.[2] It was backed by "Come On, Jerry" on the B-side. The song was included as the seventh track on Francis' 1965 album, Connie Francis Sings "For Mama".[3] It was later translated into Italian as "Un altro amore" and was the B-side to her Italian single "Ho bisogno di vederti".[4]
In its positive review of the single Cashbox magazine stated that "Connie Francis could start off '65 with a blockbuster", continuing "'Whose Heart Are You Breaking Tonight,' is a tearful sentimental beat ballad-with triplets that she delivers with expected warmth and poise. The flip's tantalizing 'Fever' styled finger-snapper that also merits special attention.[5]
Chart performance
In early 1965 the song broke into the top ten on the U.S. Easy Listening chart, peaking at No. 7 on it.[6] It reached No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart as well.[7] It was ranked lower by Record World at No. 45,[8] and higher by Cashbox at No. 42.[9] It also charted in Australia, peaking at No. 56 in the country.[10]
