R.I.P. Connie Francis (1937-2025) "Pretty Little Baby"

Her song "Pretty Little Baby" has gotten extremely popular on social media recently. She even made a comment about its newfound popularity. I always hear it when scrolling through reels on Instagram. At least she got to see it get big with the newer generation before she died. Here is a little info about the song's newfound fame per Wikipedia:

"Francis was 24 when she had recorded the song and was 87 years old when it went viral in 2025, after she retired from the music industry. Upon "Pretty Little Baby"'s debut chart appearance, she was surprised as she was previously unfamiliar with social media, originally remarking "What's viral? What's that?".

She and her publicist later enlisted her publicist's son to assist in creating an account for her. Francis had also initially forgotten the song's existence (she had only remembered it upon listening to it again), but nevertheless thanked her supporters and was grateful that even kindergarteners have now become familiar with her music, describing it as "thrilling".

This is the discography of American pop singer Connie Francis. Throughout her career, she has sold 100 million records worldwide. In 1959, she was recognized as the then best-selling female recording artist in Germany and was once hailed as the worlds best-selling female vocalist in history at that time. She was the first woman to reach #1 on Billboard Hot 100. Billboard ranked her as the 8th Top Artist of the Decade (60s) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connie_Francis_discography

Hope that virus was not responsible for her passing away.

Her music is American "Schlager" and no doubt the reason she was so beloved in Deutchland. Back then anything American was a good thing.

Her status was as an English singing Helene Fischer...minus the acrobatics, lol.

Connie Francis died at the age of 87 after being hospitalized for extreme pain, which was later diagnosed as pneumonia following a pelvic fracture. why do people just assume assume virii as the reason of death in elderly. Most elderly just die of old age from the inherrent bodily weaknesses and fragility due to aging. I remember hearing her songs on the radio and seeing her on TV Shows like Ed Sullivan.
