Pretty Little Baby Singer Connie Francis 87

Wow.

But you know, she went out on top. And her life over the last 50 years was hell (she suffered a violent rape and it traumatized her out of most recording/performing for decades.)

To have a long forgotten hit of your past come completely out of nowhere and create a whole new generation of adoring fans before you go is probably the sweetest possible way to come full circle.

You're exactly right. Her biggest hits were Who's Sorry Now and Where The Boys Are. But the attention Pretty Little Baby got recently is why it's top of mind for the people who never heard of her. TBH I thought she had already died.

Somebody, somewhere found it, put it behind a TikTok video, others started using it and it became a very unlikely hit. Connie went out on top.
 
Connie Francis had 16 top ten hits, more than any other female artist and held that distinction until it was shattered by Madonna 20 years later and then Mariah Carey!
