Francis was born in Concetta Rosemirie Franconero, and the working class in New York, Brooklyn, grew up in the Italian American family.
At the age of three, he began to play accordion by his father. When he was young, he changed his name to Connie Francis, and the US TV show was regularly in Startime Kids.
Early initiatives to start a song career were not successful.
He was rejected by almost every record company, only a contract with the MGM Records because he was called the demo song Freddy – this was the name of the President’s son.
The first records could not find an audience and Francis accepted a place to study medicine at the university.
However, for the MGM, the last contracted registration made an explosion – a cover of the song 1923 is who sorry now?
“I had 18 bomb records,” Francis said to UPI in 1996. “He asked me to record a song written in 1923.” Forget – the children at the American Bandstand would laugh at me from the show. ”
“He said, ‘If you do not record this song, Dummy, the only way to reach the American Bandstand is to sit on television,’ ‘he said.
