9. I loved her so much when I was a little girl and I was not even born when she was popular.

I think I started listening to her around the mid 70's when I was around 8 or 9 years old. I think someone in my family gave me one of her albums for one of my birthdays. Oh and my brother got her signature on a tiny pink tambourine at Starlight Theater in K.C. MO. years later.

Thank you Connie! Rest well.

On Edit: I just remembered...it wasn't Connie Francis that my brother got the autograph from, it was Connie Stevens.

I remember when she was popular. "Where the Boys Are" is one of the songs that sticks in my mind. Walleye Jul 17 #2

I saw her in Macy's in New York around 62-63. She was a little thing and cute as a kitten. chouchou Jul 17 #4
