Her songs led "Pop" and she forged the way for generations of female stars!

 

Thank you, Lady!

      ….I was just going to log off when I saw this and just had to reply.

       

      What a voice!  I still have two of her albums although both have a scratch or two! 🎶 

       

      What I also clearly remember from my High School years was my friends and I discussing the courage that she had in speaking out about her sexual assault.  All these years later, I still respect her pioneering moral strength in doing so.

       

      Thanks for this post!  

       

       Connie Francis - lovely voice from a strong woman.

        Talk about a strong woman @LisaS961881.

         

        Besides the assault, she had a good friend strangled to death, a brother murdered, a botched surgery that affected her ability to sing, and mental health issues and STILL PERFORMED into her eighties.
