SupremeConcerts.com presents: See Connie Francis Live – The Legend Continues Will Perform at The Cutler Majestic Theater at Emerson College Saturday, Oct 6, 2007 at 8pm

Englewood Cliffs, NJ (September 18, 2007) Connie Francis was the original teen idol, catapulting to international fame in 1958 at the age of 19 with the hit, "Who's Sorry Now." Francis was the first female singer to have a rock-and-roll million seller with “Stupid Cupid,” a Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield song. Her signature song, “Where The Boys Are,” also by Sedaka and Greenfield, became the title song of her classic teen film of the same name, and in 1984 it became the title of her autobiography.

Connie’s rapid and stellar success, from little Concetta Rosemarie Franconero of Newark, N.J. to international sensation, was largely due to the incredible influence of a weekly television show and its host. Dick Clark of American Bandstand introduced her song “Who's Sorry Now” on January 1, 1958 saying, "Here is a new girl singer that is heading straight for the number one spot." In those days, if Clark played a record it was an instantaneous hit, and Connie’s breakthrough song sold over a million copies within six months of its release. She was the most played recording artist on radio in the early 1960s.

Her tremendous popularity was previously unheard of in the music industry. She charted thirty-five hit singles, half of which were in the National Top Ten, selling over 100 million records, including 10 gold records in a two-year period. In Dick Clark’s 1959 poll, she and her boyfriend, Bobby Darrin, were voted “Most Popular Male and Female Vocalist.” And Francis appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show forty-two times, the most of any performer.

Though her hits made her a household name, Connie’s legitimate vocal talents and her unique ability to deliver a song in many different languages, garnered her universal critical acclaim and continue to fuel her very successful career well into its 5th decade. She has recorded over three thousand songs, speaks two languages fluently, and has recorded albums in ten languages for her enormous international fan base.

Today her live performances encompass a wide range of genres and styles, in addition to her established hits, which audiences always want to hear. She uses video and film footage that recreates the atmosphere of the era, including original American Bandstand footage with Dick Clark. "I try to do what I know will please the audiences What pleases me is unimportant. I didn't buy a ticket," says Connie. Her band is absolutely fabulous, their choreography right on cue. And Connie Francis, one of the most emotionally evocative singers in the business, remains as elegant and impressive, and as charismatic with her audiences, as ever before.
