My favorite singer growing up, I have so many memories from her beautiful music. I will always remember my first love giving me my first kiss, when Pretty Little Baby was playing on the radio. I will always remember her and her amazing talent. Rest in eternal peace Connie, you are greatly missed.

I taught "Voice for the Stage" for 46 years at Universities. Connie Francis was my principal example of a voice perfectly projected. Requiescat in pace, Ms Francis.

My favorite song of all time is Pretty Little Baby, I hope she got paid royalties when it went viral on TikTok. An iconic singer who will never be forgotten. RIP Connie, you will be missed by millions.

I still had Connie's book WHO'S SORRY NOW and reread it to bring back
memories of her life. She over came many hardships more than most in
a lifetime. It 's her singing voice that had the greatest impact on me.
To know that her song PRETTY LITTLE BABY became a sensation on
social media shows that her songs will endure.

I´m so sorry for your loss. She was my favorite singer growing up. I have so many great memories when I listen to her songs. Pretty Little Baby is my most played song, it showcases her vocals perfectly. She will be forever missed by her older and new (!) fans.

I remember taking my mother to see Connie Francis at the Castro Theater in San Francisco. I remember she said" A women wouldn´t leave home unless she was in a Wedding Dress or a Coffin."
She said, " Family was everything to Italians."

I loved listening to your music and so did my grandmother who passed on April 29th, 2025. She was 98 and your passing just brought up memories of my grandma and I singing to "Stupid Cupid" and "Lipstick on Your Collar. I hope and pray my grandma is listening to your beautiful singing in heaven. I´m glad you are out of pain and suffering but still sad that you are no longer here. I loved the twinkle in your eyes and your beautiful personality. God bless you and rest peacefully from a faithful fan.

Remember my 1st pop female singing idol for so many years, in my youth! Loved Connie's voice, versatility, seeing her over 50 times on Ed Sullivan Show and so many others. Loved her singing many languages. All her songs were faves... Where The Boys Are! ..and the Movie! I'm 76 now, she was 11 yrs older. I adored her! I've been reliving and listening to everything now again on You-Tube, from videos, concerts, audio, interviews...I feel like I lost someone I knew closely. Followed all my life.
One of the most gifted voices ever!! Her sound just melted you.
Greatest talent!! A survivor! She will be remembered forever!! R.I.P. CONNIE FRANCIS Dec.1937-July 2025

So very sorry to hear about Connie´s passing! I have an album of hers & watched her movies. It is very sad news. My sympathies to her family & all who loved her. I am currently caring for someone who was very close to Connie, Margaret(Peggy) Screnci . The news hit Peggy very hard! She sends her love & condolences to the family! They were close while in Florida & we´re up on stage together! They are both the same age & both had incredible voices! Connie will be remembered always!

Arrivederci Connie Francis

I was blessed to meet Connie Francis at a friend's beach wedding in 2009, where I witnessed the humble and unassuming side of her when we spoke about the profound impact of her Italian songs on my life.

Growing up as a New York Italian, her music resonated deeply with me and her stories about traditions kept me connected to my heritage.

The picture below, taken in 2013 after her performance at the Coral Springs performing arts center, is a cherished keepsake.

Connie's humility and kindness shone through in her willingness to live among everyday people, enjoying restaurants and shows without pretension.

She embodied the antithesis of a diva. May her legacy continue to inspire, and may her music, especially her Italian songs, forever uplift generations to come. As Connie would say when bidding farewell to loved ones who passed on, Sleep Sweetly, Connie! You will be missed however, always remembered!
Love, Grace T

I was 8 years old when I first heard Connie sing Who´s Sorry Now. I´ve been a fan ever since.
I was thrilled to see her in concert in the 1980s. What an amazing talent will not see the likes of again. No one had a voice like Connie´s. RIP.

My dad RIP bought two albums in his entire life. One was Dino Italian Favorites and the 2nd was Connie Francis Italian album. I only knew one Italian from Newark who didn´t idolize her. My ex mother in law (rip) didn´t like her voice, so of course I played the album whenever she visited. Rest In Peace Connie.

I met this wonderful performer when I was 11 years old. My dad, Paul Maged , a regional promotional man for MGM Records picked me up in a limo . Much to my surprise, Connie Francis was in the rear seat, on her way to a personal appearance at WBZ,a radio station in Boston. What a thrill.
A few years back , I sent her a letter telling her about the occasion.
She answered with a beautiful note.
Classy lady who deserves to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
