Connie Francis - Voice Your Choice


Connie Francis was born Concetta Rosa Franconero on December 12, 1938 in Newark, New Jersey. Apart from having a staggeringly successful recording career, she also appeared in several motion pictures including Where The Boys Are, Follow The Boys, Looking For Love, and When The Boys Meet The Girls.

Between 1957 and 1969, she appeared a stunning 56 times on the Billboard charts; achieved 16 Top Ten hits, plus 8 Gold Records, quite a feat for anyone! In fact, Connie is the #1 pop female singer from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s.

And this week on Treasure Island Oldies, Voice Your Choice presents Connie Francis with two of her Top Ten hits. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page for either Breakin' In A Brand New Heart or Among My Souvenirs. I'll play the winner in the 3rd hour of next week's show.
