He's Mr. New York, Mark Simone, on 710 W-O-R.

Well, hey, a lot to get to this hour.

Connie Francis, 87 years old, passed away.

Connie Francis, he was obviously huge, huge star, 60s and all of a sudden she became popular

all over again. You know, she had all her big hits, Connie Francis. What's the song she did that just

became huge again? A Pretty Baby? Somebody went and found this Connie Francis song that was on an album she did in the early 60s

a pretty little baby and they used it on a TikTok video and it went super viral and it got a zillion

hundreds of millions of people saw this and it became a big hit all over again and everybody

teens 20s all of a sudden, Connie Francis, this song.

And then a reporter called Connie Francis.

What do you think?

And she said, I don't even remember the song.

And she had to go listen to it.

She said, yeah, I sort of remembered.

It was just an album cut.

But she was thrilled that all of a sudden younger people were suddenly, her fans all of a sudden.

So died at the age of 87.

She'd suffered a terrible, terrible, terrible hip injury, causing her extreme pain.

She'd been in the hospital.

She'd been in a wheelchair for a while, 87 years old.

The lesson you learned from this is don't fall. That's the key. You know, you see a lot of stars who are

on their way to being a hundred years old. George Burns was one and there were plenty of others.
