Connie Francis, the chart-topping pop singer of ’50s and ’60s classics like “Stupid Cupid,” “Where the Boys Are” and the recently TikTok viral “Pretty Little Baby,” has died, according to the New York Times.
She was 87.
Francis’ longtime friend and president of Concetta Records Ron Roberts announced the news in a Facebook post on Wednesday night, which Francis’ official account reposted.
Francis became one of the defining female singers of the ’50s and ’60s, topping the charts on multiple occasions and selling over 200 million records worldwide with hits like “Stupid Cupid,” “Who’s Sorry Now” and “Frankie.”
In 1960, she became the first woman to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool,” and later became the first woman to have three songs hit No. 1.
