RIP Connie Francis

I know it clashes with my "dark dude persona" and all, but I am extremely fond of her music - mostly because my mother loved her music, so those songs became an integral part of the soundtrack of my life. Her music also seems to evoke a certain image of America and simpler times - burgers and milkshakes and drive-ins and all... Although I did not experience any of that, I grew up in the nostalgia of those years - one of my uncles had a collection of old 50's/early 60's cars, we had a few retro-themed restaurants in the area, and of course my mother was a huge fan of those 50's records and movies like American Graffiti. 

I also used to think she looked so pretty on those old album covers. 

Anyway...

RIP!

I can relate!  I remember my father having albums he would play of her!   I can still recognize her voice when I hear it  - even if it is not a tune I'm familiar with.

 

One of the greats - will be missed!
