Connie Francis, the actress and beloved pop vocalist who had hits with “Who’s Sorry Now?,” “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool,” “Stupid Cupid” and “Where the Boys Are” before her life took several turbulent turns, has died. She was 87.

Ron Roberts, her friend and the president of the musician’s label Concetta Records, shared the news on Facebook on Thursday. “It is with a heavy heart and extreme sadness that i inform you of the passing of my dear friend Connie Francis last night,” he wrote in a note that was reposted by the official Francis account on Facebook. “I know that Connie would approve that her fans are among the first to learn of this sad news.” People.com reported the news earlier.

A groupie????....You mean for 50+ years I have been thinking they sang about Connie Francis, possibly as an opening act or they were hers?.....While they partied backstage and eventually the hotel..........

A sixteen-minute biography video with a misleading title. It’s less about the industry and more her personal struggles and triumphs. Lots of pix:
