Connie Francis was born Concetta
Rosa Franconero on December 12, 1938 in Newark, New Jersey. Apart from
having a staggeringly successful recording career, she also appeared in
several motion pictures including Where The Boys Are, Follow The Boys, Looking For Love, and When The Boys Meet The Girls.
Between
1957 and 1969, she appeared a stunning 56 times on the Billboard
charts! Plus, she achieved 16 Top Ten hits, plus 8 Gold Records, quite a feat for
anyone! In fact, Connie is the #1 pop female singer from the late 1950s to
the mid-1960s.
