I'm sure anyone under a certain age will have no idea who she is/was but the 'Pretty Little Baby' Connie Francis has died today aged 87.

Re: Connie Francis RIP
Sad news
I remember as a youngster listening to her song “Stupid Cupid “
She was the first female singer I remember and then of course Alma Cogan and wonderful Dusty Springfield

Re: Connie Francis RIP
When I was at BGS I did Spanish for "o" level and our teacher was a bloke called Harry Halford . He was a real character , wore winkle pickers and drainpipe pants .He was a great teacher and made the lessons really interesting .One of his favourite tricks was to play us Connie Francis records in Spanish... I remember Malaguena in particular...and ever since then I've collected her records .She had a huge following in the Spanish-speaking world .Anybody remember HH ?

Re: Connie Francis RIP
Her songs were / are still great for line dancing. Lipstick on your collar is an ever popular favourite. RIP

Re: Connie Francis RIP
Another favourite of mine from an era long ago. Went through some desperate times in her life. She was a victim of rape and her brother a victim of a 'mafia hit'.Very distinctive voice. RIP Connie Francis.
Re: Connie Francis RIP
She had the number one on the day I was born ...
"Who's Sorry Now" in May 1958 ... Just looked that up only 4 days ago
.
RIP Connie Francis
