Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero (December 12, 1937 – July 16, 2025), known professionally as Connie Francis, was an American pop singer, actress and one of the top-charting female vocalists of the late 1950s and early 1960s. She was estimated to have sold more than 100 million records worldwide.

In 1960, Francis was recognized as the most successful female recording artist in Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, and the United States. She became the first woman in history to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 when "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" topped the chart in 1960. She was also the first woman to achieve three No. 1 hits on the chart, among her 53 career entries.

A series of traumatic personal experiences and medical problems, starting with being the victim of a knifepoint rape attack in 1974, led Francis to suffer from psychological and physical difficulties that sidelined her performing career. She resumed performing from 1989 until her retirement in 2018. She regained fame in 2025, shortly before her death, when her earlier album cut "Pretty Little Baby" went viral.
