A Tribute to Connie Francis
Connie Francis (1937-2025) was an American singer, musician, author, and actress. One of the top-charting female vocalists of the late 1950s and early 1960s, she amassed over 100 million records sold, placing her among the best-selling musical artists in history.
During this program we will have an opportunity to watch videos of some of Connie’s most memorable numbers such as “Who’s Sorry Now?” “Stupid Cupid,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” “Among My Souvenirs,” and “Where the Boys Are.” In addition, we will have a chance to examine her career as a teen songstress growing up in an extremely strict household in Newark, NJ. Then, through a series of devastating personal tragedies which, with great dignity and strength of character, she managed to overcome and resume her recording and performing career.
