Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero (December 12,
1937), better known as Connie Francis, is an American pop singer, former actress, and
top-charting female vocalist of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Although
her chart success waned in the second half of the 1960s, Francis remained a top
concert draw. Despite several severe interruptions in her career, she is still
active as a recording and performing artist.
In 1989, Francis resumed her recording and performing career again. For Malaco Records, Francis
recorded a double album entitled Where the Hits Are, containing
re-recordings of 18 of her biggest hits, as well as six classics of yesteryear Francis had always wanted to record such as "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" and "Torn
Between Two Lovers".
In 1992, a
medley of remixed versions of her biggest German hits charted in Germany. A
single, entitled "Jive, Connie", ended up among the top-ten
best-selling singles of the year, which brought Connie Francis the prestigious
R.SH-Gold award for the "Best Comeback of the Year" from R.SH (short
for "Radio Schleswig-Holstein"), back then one of Germany's most
important private radio stations. A subsequent compilation
album of her biggest German hits in their original versions
was also released successfully. In the wake of this, Francis recorded two duets
for the German Herzklang label (a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment) with Peter Kraus, with whom
she had already worked several times in the late 1950s and early 1960s. A
German-language solo album was supposed to follow on Herzklang, but despite all
songs being recorded and mixed, the album remains unreleased.
In 1995,
Francis recorded The Return Concert, a live album which was released on Legacy Recordings.
In 1996, With
Love To Buddy, a tribute album of songs made famous by the late Buddy Holly, was
released. Although this album continues to be re-released under various names
on countless low-budget labels, With Love To Buddy remains Francis' last
original release as of October 2011. At infrequent intervals, though, Francis
releases compact disc albums and EPs in limited quantities on her own label, Concetta Records, containing
previously unreleased material from her private archives.
In late
December 2004, Francis headlined in Las Vegas for the first time since 1989. In March and October 2007, Francis
performed to sold-out crowds at the Castro
Theatre in San Francisco. She appeared in concert in Manila, the
Philippines, on Valentine's Day 2008.
In 2010,
she also appeared at the Las Vegas Hilton with Dionne Warwick, a show
billed as "Eric Floyd's Grand Divas of Stage".
In December 2017, Francis released
her most recent autobiography, Among My Souvenirs.
I
hear the cottonwoods whispering above
Tammy,
Tammy, Tammy's in love
The
ole whootie owl whootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy.
oh Tammy, Tammy's in love.
Does
my darling feel what I feel when he comes near
My
heart beats so joyfully you'd think that he could hear
Wish
I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of
Tammy,
Tammy, Tammy's in love.
(Whipporwill,
whipporwill you and I know)
Tammy,
Tammy can't let him go
(The
breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low)
Tammy,
Tammy, you love him so.
When
the night is warm soft and warm I long for his charms
I'd
sing like a violin if I were in his arms
Wish
I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love...
