"Roundabout" is a song written by Tony Hatch and performed by Connie Francis.[1]
Overview
[edit]The single was recorded by Francis with her career on the downside, and though her chart dominance had waned, the track reached No. 10 on the Billboard Easy Listening chart and No. 80 on the Hot 100.[2] It reached other American charts, peaking at No. 83 in Record World and No. 92 in Cash Box. The B-side was a bossa nova standard and was quite different from the A-side and her style in general.
