NOTABLE DEATH ... CONNIE FRANCIS

By Bob Walsh

 

Connie Francis, 'Where the Boys Are' Pop Singer, Dead at 87

 
Connie Francis died today at the age of 87.  The cause of death was not released.

Connie was THE most popular female singer of the 50s and 60s, selling something like 35 million records.  An obscure song of hers, PRETTY LITTLE BABY, just took off again a few weeks ago due to TikTok.  When asked about it Connie couldn't remember recording it until she actually heard it again.

The world is poorer for her passing.

"Where the Boys Are" and "Who's Sorry Now" were two of my favorites.
