Connie Francis recorded several albums of country music standards during her pop career. In 1969, she had a modest country hit with "The Wedding Cake" and "My Happiness" (No. 2), which she recorded in 1959, and re-recorded in 1978 and 1989. She appeared on the country charts again in 1982 with "There's Still a Few Good Love Songs Left in Me." Several country singers found chart success remaking Francis' pop hits for the country market, including Marie Osmond, "Who's Sorry Now?" in 1975, Susan Raye, "My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own" in 1972, and Margo Smith, "Don't Break The Heart That Loves You" in 1978.
Debby Boone had two successful recordings of Connie Francis' songs, with "My Heart has a Mind of Its Own", reaching No. 11 in 1979 and another cover release, "Breakin' in a Brand New Broken Heart", which reached No. 25 in 1979. She also included "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" on her 1986 album, The Best of Debby Boone.
