Who's Sorry Now? is the first studio album recorded by U. S. Entertainer Connie Francis.

Background

After her first nine solo singles had failed to chart and her duet single with Marvin Rainwater, "The Majesty Of Love", b/w "You, my Darlin' You" had only been a minor hit, peaking at # 99, the managers at MGM Records had decided not to renew her contract after the last scheduled single release.

During what was supposed to be her last recording session for MGM Records in October 1957, Francis recorded a cover version of the song "Who's Sorry Now?". Francis' father, George Franconero, sr., had wanted his daughter for quite some time to record this song with a contemporary arrangement, over which both had been discussing heatedly since Francis had refused to fulfill the demand, considering the song as old fashioned and corny. But Franconero, sr. persisted and Francis finally gave in.

As Franconero, Sr. had predicted, "Who's Sorry Now?", released as MGM Records Single K 12588, became a huge hit, after which MGM Records renewed the contract with their now successful singer. The recording sessions for an album including the breakthrough hit began in March 1958 and were completed in April 1958.

Who's Sorry Now is the third solo studio album released by American country music singer, Marie Osmond. It was her last solo album released under MGM Records.

The album's lead single was the title track, a cover of Connie Francis' Top 10 Pop hit from 1958. Osmond's version reached the Top 30 on the Billboard Country Chart, the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also was a minor on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart. It was the album's only single. The album includes additional covers of songs by Pat Boone ("Love Letters in the Sand"), Kitty Wells ("Making Believe"), and Sonny James ("It's the Little Things"), as well as two additional standards that had also been popularized by Connie Francis ("Among My Souvenirs" and "Jealous Heart").

Who's Sorry Now peaked at #20 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and #152 on the Billboard 200. In addition, the album was reviewed by Allmusic and received 2.5 out of 5 stars.
