''One for the Boys'' is an unreleased studio album recorded by American entertainer Connie Francis. The album follows the concept of a tribute to the great crooners of the 1950s and their most famous hits. Between August 22, 1959 and August 26, 1959,〔Ron Roberts: ''Connie Francis Discography 1955 – 1975''〕 Francis recorded the following songs at EMI's legendary Abbey Road Studios in London: * "April Love" (Pat Boone) * "Because of You" (Tony Bennett) * "Cry" (Johnnie Ray) * "It's Not for Me to Say" (Johnny Mathis) * "Prisoner of Love" (Perry Como) * "Temptation" (Bing Crosby) * "That's My Desire" (Frankie Laine) * "Thinking of You" (Eddie Fisher) * "Too Young" (Nat King Cole) * "Where the Blue of the Night" (Bing Crosby) * "You Made Me Love You" (Al Jolson) * "Young at Heart" (Frank Sinatra) The album was scheduled for release in early 1960 as MGM Records 12" Album SE-3815 (stereo) and E-3815 (mono), but the overwhelming success of Francis' first Italian album, ''Connie Francis Sings Italian Favorites'', led to the cancellation of ''One for the Boys'' in favor of three further albums containing ''Spanish and Latin American Favorites'', ''Jewish Favorites'', and a second volume of ''Italian Favorites''. The project of a follow-up album to celebrate the female stars of the era, ''One for the Girls'', was abandoned and never recorded. The originally intended track listing of ''One for the Boys'' is unknown, but three songs from the album – "Because of You", "You Made Me Love You", and "Young at Heart" – were released in late 1960 in Great Britain on EP along with the theme song from Francis' first motion picture ''Where The Boys Are''. Otherwise the album's songs remained unreleased until 1993.〔William Ruhlmann: ''Connie Francis 1955 – 1959'', supplement to 5 CD Boxed Set ''White Sox, Pink Lipstick… and Stupid Cupid'', Bear Family Records BCD 16 616 AH, Hambergen (Germany) 1993〕 ==Track Listing== #"Because of You" (Arthur Hammerstein, Dudley Wilkinson) - 3:13 #"You Made Me Love You" (Joseph McCarthy, James V.
