Volume 218: Rock and Roll Connie

Episode dedicated to Dino Baskovic (1974-2025) This is the third of four records from Connie Francis that my dad has in his collection. She WAS the top charting female US artist of the late 1950s and early 1960s.  Her popularity was due to her voice and being able to sing in multiple languages. And she was a hit maker during the early days of rock and roll. So get ready to hear a star who was estimated to have sold more than 200 million records worldwide in Volume 218: Rock and Roll Connie.
