Connie
Francis
Riktigt namn: Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero
Född: 12 december 1938 i Newark, New Jersey, USA
Amerikansk sångerska, som lärde sig spela dragspel vid tre
års ålder och som började uppträda redan i tioårsåldern,
då hon bl a sjöng TV-programmet Startime. Sin första skiva,
"Freddy", spelade hon in 1955, men slog igenom med "Who's Sorry Now" 1958.
Därefter hade hon fram till 1964 35 låtar bland de 40 mest
sålda i USA. Det var låtar som "Lipstick On Your Collar",
"Among My Souvenirs", "Everybody's Somebody's Fool", "Breakin' In A Brand
New Broken Heart", "When The Boy In Your Arms", "Vacation" och många
fler.
Under 1970-talet låg Connie Francis karriär nere under ett
antal år, dels beroende på några personliga tragidier,
dels eftersom en sjukdom gjorde att hon höll på att förlora
rösten. 1989 kunde hon återuppta karriären och uppträder
fortfarande.
Förutom de klassiska poplåtarna har hon även gjort en
del country och även sjungit in låtar på andra språk,
t ex tyska.
På Radio Nords Topp 20: "Breakin' In A Brand New Broken Heart"
(9 veckor), "Together" (3 veckor), "Mr. Twister" (2 veckor).
