quote:
Connie Francis, who dominated the pop charts in the late 1950s and early ’60s with sobbing ballads like “Who’s Sorry Now” and “Don’t Break the Heart That Loves You,” as well as up-tempo soft-rock tunes like “Stupid Cupid,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” and “Vacation,” died on Wednesday. She was 87.

Her publicist, Ron Roberts, announced her death in a post on Facebook. He did not say where she died or cite a cause. Ms Francis was hospitalized two weeks ago for extreme pain.

I note this too:

quote:

With the ascendancy of the Beatles, her days on the pop charts were over, but she retained an enormous following among older audiences

That happened to a lot of artists.

RIP

If they ever do a Connie Francis biopic it has to be about her, her father and Bobby Darin.

This jackoff could give Murry Wilson a run for his money as domineering a-hole father of a lifetime.

Connie Francis reflects on her romance with Bobby Darin before his untimely death
