History
Connie Francis, born Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero on December 12, 1937 in Newark, New Jersey, was an Italian-American singer who became one of the top-charting female vocalists of the late 1950s and early 1960s. After a run of flops, her 1957 cover of the 1923 standard "Who's Sorry Now?" made her a star, and in 1960 "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" made her the first woman ever to top the Billboard Hot 100; "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" (1962) made her the first woman with three US number-one singles. She worked across traditional pop, rock and roll, country pop and jazz, sold over 200 million records, and recorded in some 15 languages, including an Italian album cut at Abbey Road. Her song "Where the Boys Are" became the theme of her 1960 film of the same name, helping popularize the idea of spring break. She died in July 2025, just after her 1961 track "Pretty Little Baby" unexpectedly went viral on social media.
