321 Connie Francis (1938- ) “Who’s Sorry Now” 1958

“she recorded ten singles that went nowhere; these, along with her failed auditions for radio and television shows and stage musicals, convinced the teenager to abandon performing and accept a scholarship in radio and television production offered by New York University.” In 1958, “With one disc left on her MGM agreement, Francis recorded ‘Who’s Sorry Now,’ a 1923 favorite of her father’s—backed, this time, with a gentle rock and roll beat. The single was a blockbuster hit” (Nancy Pear, Contemporary Musicians, 1994).
