Connie Francis

Real Name:
Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero
Profile:
Born : December 12, 1938 // Newark, NJ, United States
Connie Francis is the best female vocalist of all time. She was the top female vocalist of the late 50's and early 60's, amassing records sales equal to and surpass those of many of her male contemporaries. Connie Francis branched into big band, country, ethnic, and many many other styles of music. She has the knack of wrenching the emotions with her powerhouse voice. Connie's music, transcending any and all boundaries, is capable of taming the beast, soothing the wounded heart and lifting the fallen spirit. She uses her multifaceted talents to successfully perform concerts each year.
