Connie Francis was an American singer who, from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, was one of the most successful female pop vocalists of the era. She was known for her jukebox-friendly, melodramatic ballads and upbeat pop tunes. In 1958, Francis was still in the early stages of her career, aiming for a breakthrough after a string of unsuccessful singles.
