The world has lost a defining voice of an era with the passing of Connie Francis at 87. More than just a pop star, Francis was a powerhouse who mastered the art of heartbreak, transforming classic standards into explosive hits for a new generation. Her 1958 smash, "Who's Sorry Now?," became an anthem of resilient vindication, launching her into stratospheric fame and cementing her status as one of the most successful female artists of the 1960s with subsequent classics like "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" and "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You." Though her incredible career was tragically halted by a brutal assault, her legacy as a pioneer who infused pop music with raw emotion, incredible versatility, and undeniable strength ensures that the voice of Pretty Little Baby will never be forgotten.
