While Francis was writing in her diary, Sedaka asked her if he could read what she had written. As mentioned earlier, Francis said no. This inspired Sedaka to write "The Diary", his own first hit single. Sedaka and Greenfield wrote many of Connie Francis' hits, such as "Fallin'" and the "Theme from "Where the Boys Are"", the film in which she starred. This hit the Top 5 on the "Billboard" pop singles chart and Francis had several No. 1 singles. "Where the Boys Are" eventually became her signature song.
