I remember Connie Francis as a young beautiful woman, and felt so sorry for the way things were going for her. As a female I also went through a turbulent life and I can say it's never easy, but never give up on yourself, don't look for happiness through relationships, it' in you. Where ever she is now, I wish her all the best, with love from a fan❤️🌹thank you Jerry for sharing her story
So happy that you decided to show this. I've always loved Connie.🥰
I will always love Connie Francis singing Where The Boys Are. Connie, you are beautiful and so strong to have survived so many tragedies. You are a beautiful human being and I am one of your best fans!! And thank you Jerry for sharing this part of Connie Francis' life with us because it helps her fans reconnect with her and her life. God bless you Connie and you too, Jerry.
There were so many great hit songs in 1961 and ‘Where the Boys Are’ shines brightly above them all.Thanks for this,it’s so moving.
Where thr boys are

Hi Jerry. Once again I have watched one of your stories on one of my favourite singers, Connie Francis. What a stormy road of emotion she had. I never realised. I will always cherish the memories she has given me with her wonderful songs and electrifying voice. I always thought Dick Clark thought a lot of her. He was a very good friend. I hope she has found some peace within herself and I hope she knows that there are millions out here that love her. Thank you for your wonderful narration. Well done.
the song "vacation" saved me from a lot of depression during the sixties being a "tomboy" and riding my bike for hours with my transistor radio singing along with this song. I am ever so grateful to you for this excellent expose' of a dear friend I never met yet knew deep in my heart.. God Bless You dear Connie during the times when it wasn't "cool" to be a strong determined woman ready to make it in life on a wing and a prayer!!!!
Thanks for telling her story. She gave so much joy to so many in my parents generation and in mine (I'm in my 80's) , it is sad that she could not have had more herself. I hope she has peace and fulfillment in her sunset years, knowing how much she has meant to so many. We have always had love for her and felt her pain.
A timeless classic and a beautiful and a extraordinary talented person. Thank you, Connie, for your gifts to the world. 🙂
After spending my entire life collecting everything and anything relating to Connie Francis it was alarming when one day, after surviving some horrendous cancer treatment, looked at the collection and asked to nobody in particular, what in Gods name am I gonna do with this? It was a serious question, 15 years ago, that's still being asked today. That's the collection. There are those intangible memories I'll take to my grave. Thank you Connie, for inviting me into your life.
Mike G hi how are you!? Happy New Year! I am younger but collected now for at least 13 years and I got an impressive collection. I'm looking to have fun talking with you about Connie, collections and sharing songs, etc. Can you please reach me here at debbiemaffei@yahoo.com it's best to comment here then email after so I can see what man you are. I make a few friends as I go online in my discoveries. ☺✌
thanks for telling us about Connie Francis, I loved all the songs she sang.
Connie Francis is someone in who I would have enjoyed working with. As a Vietnam veteran I totally appreciate her support of the troops when few others did. Your video, like all the ones you’ve done, enables others to have an unbiased perspective of her. I agree that you are a star in your own right
As a kid I listened to my Grandma's records of Connie Francis. so impressed with her singing. After practicing busted out in the living room, saying "I can sing like Connie Francis" My family just looked at me 🙄 lol.
I loved her the first time I heard her sing. She was beautiful inside and outside. A real down to earth human being. I love her singing in Spanish and German.
My goodness! I did not know that Connie Francis, was still with us! What a beautiful woman, voice and entertainer! My parents and us kids loved her! Her singing for the Troops, was Legendary! Good Bless her always!! 💕
Ms Connie Francis, as a teenager your singing made my heart skip a beat, your voice even now brings me close to you, love you Connie keep strong.
I love her so much. Her music was magical and her life was tragic. She overcame every obstacle and is a blessing to us all. Thank you for telling her story so wonderfully!!!
Connie was a part of my teenage years and her music is intertwined with so many cherished memories. I still listen to her music and she takes me back to those golden days of my youth. I'm an old man now and Connie Francis is truly among my souvenirs.
Grew to love Connie's singing. Met her once at Pine Springs, Freehold, NY, with her husband Joseph Garzilli (not "Garzilla'). The couple looked great together. Nobody bothered them and nobody asked her to sing.
I grew up listening to Connie Francis songs. They were so romantic and I love those memories!! She was such a lovely lady and certainly missed!!!
It sounds like your saying she died.. She's alive and well
When she sang Mama, my Dad cried, beautiful voice
Jerry Skinner, dear Jerry, this is one of the BEST you have offered. Just clicking 'Like' is far to little of a reward for your effort. Poor Connie, I had no idea she had such a brutal life with all her fame and accomplishments. Thank you so your gentle treatment of her life.
Beautifully done..... Thank you 🌟💫🌟👏👏👏👏👏🌟💫🌟
Connie had the voice. Of an Angel. I love her singing. Always will
Very nice. I was lucky enough to meet Connie on my last birthday and we had a wonderful chat and she is a gracious lady, not to mention one of the greatest singers of all time that I've loved since I was a little kid.
Instablaster...
Jerry, I’m still watching but gave a thumbs up because you’ve never put out a “bad” video. I always look forward to your posts, thank you for making these. 😊
Jerry always does it right

Ms. Connie Frances is a living legends and a national treasure. Nowadays, I hear so many artists called legends and they're not deserving of the title. Ms. Frances is a beautiful lady.
Great job 👍 to Mr. Skinner as always.
love the 60’s
She's beautiful, I saw her perform in the early 2000s in Brooklyn's coney island concerts, Truly amazing singer.
@@angelarose249 9
Love her
None of these singers of today do not cone up to Connie France standards . The 60s had very talented singers . Those were the best days .
*I wonder who will be the person to write about you one day in memory & thanks for all the hours of dedication and documentation of so many Stars - thank you Jerry - you are a STAR !!!*
Well said. Maybe you should write about Jerry.
Thank you Jerry for such an informative and respectful telling of the story of marvellous Connie Francis. It also explains a lot about the difficulties she faced in life and had to overcome bless her. To me it's worth noting that in the first years of rock n roll, Connie was a stand out female voice as more and more men and groups created a new pop scene....now of course the girls hold sway if you can bear to listen to them.
This documentary is wonderful.
Love your work and dedication. Your drawl is nice, too! Many hours of bio fun. TY, Jerry❤
-BnQE- I just said that to myself .
I loved her in my teenage years. Her songs were great.
Connie awakes beautiful memories to a lot of people with her divine romantic voice and her unforgettable love songs she is always in our hearts God bless her !
What a tragic, sad story but also a great story of passion and persistence.
A great reminder to be kind to each person you have contact with. Many are struggling with issues we have no idea they even have. Live in peace dear Connie.
So many of my favorite songs - by a truly wonderful and remarkable woman!!!
Connie Francis was one of my favorite singers growing up. I would play her records over and over. She was so beautiful.
I grew up loving her songs she was a classy lady whom overcame so much thanks Jerry great video
I’ve been watching your videos for about 8 months or so. That doesn’t sound too long but you keep pretty busy and have an extensive library of work.i enjoy and love every single one.your friendly and comforting voice along with the loving care and respect you treat every video with make your biographies the gold standard in my opinion.i know if any one of the people you’ve created a video on watched you tell their story they would be appreciative and relieved to no that such a telling of their life was available .thanks again for all of your hardp work work
As a "tween" I had a crush on Connie Francis that never stopped.
"Everybody's Somebody's Fool" was always my favorite song.
Thank you for your beautiful video on Connie Francis. Your calm voice and the way you talk about them just makes it feel like you care about the person not the star. Miss Francis had such a beautiful voice so vibrant and amazing. I was always excited when I got an opportunity as a child to hear her sing on radio or see one of her movies playing on the television matinee movie hours we had in my local area.
The man Bob Dale who did the show was like you and he loved to talk about the Stars so all of us kids became educated about the past stars & in our area respected them compared to when you talked to kids from other areas they didn't even know who we were talking about because of course they were looking at the stars of the late 70s. I always felt bad Miss Francis's life didn't go very well and that all the money in the world could not give her a happy ending. However I will always remember that strong beautiful voice when she sang where the boys are and how she belted that out. Such a strong open natural sound that is rarely found today.
PTSD is a nightmare and it is so sad that she couldn't get help for that right away instead of spending years being misdiagnosed and medicated incorrectly. But at least she had the guts to get up there on the stand and testify when most women wouldn't. But she didn't let it stop her from living life either. Even though she didn't get the wishes of her heart she did continue working she tried to do it the best you could and that's just all she could do. She's really an example for all of us there's really no excuse if she could get past the bad brakes in the heartaches we can too.
Thank you, Jerry, for all the hours of work and research you put into your accurate videos! 🇨🇦
She wowed the critics. I loved all her records. I’ve heard she is very sweet and I don’t doubt it. We love you Connie ❤️❤️
Still love Connie Francis. I always sang to her songs. Thank you for the update❤️
A great story. Thank you 😊 grew up with those songs. A great entertainer. A beautiful woman ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My mom loved Connie Francis and always listened to her music She got me her autograph when she was entertaining in Long Island in the early 60's RIP Mom
What a voice! Got her songs on CD and still love the songs! Sad this happened to her!
Jerry Skinner, you truly are the most interesting and remarkable narrator I have had the pleasure to listen to. May your talents be heard for many years to come!

Where you from Welsh Warrior? Are you a young 20s to 40s cute man in the USA 😌
@@berealsupportive2744 I am 48 and from Wales.What about yourself?
Thank you for this Jerry. You are very kind and sympathetic to these public personalities who struggle, and that is appreciated. I think Connie's story is a testimony to what happens when you are not allowed to be your authentic self; when you are not allowed to be with the person you really do love, for a parent's selfish reasons. . A cautionary tale for all parents. . .
She was my idol when I was a teenager in the 60's. My first public performance was "Where the Boys Are" at a county fair.
I never get tired of listening to Connie's music 💗
Where the Boys Are and Stupid Cupid are iconic!
Im black and loved not only her music but perry como too...and loved lawrence welk and liberace.....u have NO IDEA the sh*t i went thru with my family
@@lindamoore192, I've always liked Magic Moments and Oh Calcutta! I also liked Big Joe Turner and Little Richard. Black folks have made a major contribution to American culture.
As for childhood, mine was no picnic but I know many kids have suffered far, far more than I did.

Obviously I don’t know anyone’s full story but I can relate to a few topics in this tribute to our lovely Con Fran! Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t we love her for the way she is n the way she sang and what it all meant n how brave she was just 2 b herself in a time when everyone thought she she was Jewish n she never corrected anyone, during persecution while she wasn’t Jewish! How brave, talented, courageous n very admirable! What a wonderful piece of space she filled on this planet! If I achieve a crumb of what she did, I’d be twice as happy! Humble, genuine, amazing Woman! Love 💖 n blessings always!!
When I was a little girl I loved Connie Francis! I begged my mother and then received on Christmas a Connie Francis paper doll and clothing. I played with it until you could no longer see the graphics on any of the pieces. thank you for the Memories in this this video
I loved her singing. Wonderful singer.
I was a huge fan as a young girl but didn’t know of her trials and tribulations until I was a teen, it broke my heart 💔 to think that a young woman had suffered all she went through as an admired and beautiful star 😢!
Loved her singing 🎤 and her style. Fantastic unbelievable amazing lady.
Greatly done. I had the opportunity too meet Miss Connie Francis when she performed at the Universal in Los Angeles, CA. Truly great star. I was able too take a photo with her and I was star - struck. I remember I kissed her hand. Her manager back in the day George S., became manager of Motown star Mary Wells in 1965.
I was Mary Wells fan club president in the 80's and Mary became a dear friend.
MI CANTANTE PREFERIDA MARAVILLOSA EXELENTE UNA LINDA PERSONA HERMOSA VOZ 😘❤
I grew up with her songs. She's one of my favorites until I started my own career and some of her standards songs like Three Coins in the Fountain, Young At Heart and Here's my Happiness were those among her cover songs that became a favorites of mine and first that I sang on the jazz band I worked with. She's an icon that became one among the few iconic singers that is a part of my singing career.
Great story telling Mr Jerry ...
Connies tragic life would make a great movie.
Thank you
Thanks Herb my friend. Jerry
I loved her voice so much when I was a child. She was beautiful and so talented.
Some people’s journeys through life are just so heartbreaking. Your portrait of her was tender and dignified. Bravo, sir!
To Connie Francis you have been my favorite singer l have your CDs you had a heart breakinglife l just cant believe what you have been through and you came back you are a great inspiration to a lot of women out there god bless you you will always be my greatest idol of all time
Ues indeed
Jerry, you always do a great job! I love your voice and delivery. I bet your grandkids love your bedtime stories.
I was around 6 yrs old in Chile when i herd her song "Too many rules" but in Spanish "Tanto control", and I loved her voice ever since, Connie you are amazing, thanks for your talent.
Jerry's voice is so comforting! I'm British and adore his accent and the soft way he speaks...his videos are extremely informative as well....fast becoming one of my favourite youtuber's
Thank you Mrs Smith. Jerry
While I was not of that time period, you gave me an opportunity to briefly live through it from this presentation. Thank you Jerry for the tour. Just amazing!
What a great piece on Connie Francis! I never realized that she had been though so much trauma and tragedy in her life! Again Jerry another fabulous bio, you have a true talent for producing these!

Jerry Skinner you make a fantastic Job thank you 👍
I got to hear this fantastic star and singer live, she put on a great show! I was so lucky ❤️👵🏼❤️
Connie was my favorite singer...I never heard her sing a song that I didn't like! What a voice...
TxCowPoke, I am sure i have said this before, but i went again to your site and i can tell, you are a professional and a very excellent voice. Keep it up my friend. Jerry
@@JerrySkinner1943 Thank you Jerry
Love this woman & still listen to her songs in 2019 a true legend.
Thank you Jerry for so many great documentaries on great stars, Im enjoying them immensely,I love your soothing voice.
Great singer beautiful woman
I have read the first volume of her new autobiography and there are going to be 2 more volumes released. Anyone who has or had been a fan of Connie's needs to read the first one and hopefully soon the other two. Her life is amazing but she has never dwelled on any of the tragedies, she is a very positive woman and knows that she would never have been given all he success she had if it had not been for her fans. I love Connie Francis and hope others still do too.
What a lady, what a life. That poor girl, I never knew all this. She had the most beautiful clear voice, I still have some of her songs. I loved Bobby Darin also, they both had kind of tragic lives. Thanks once more Jerry, your the Bees Knees.
Bravo! Bravo! Another Jerry Skinner jewel ! ... Thank you!
WELL DONE DOCUMENTARY, MR. SKINNER!! My Dad played Connie's songs all his life and loved those songs but knew nothing about her until now. What a talented, courageous, determined, generous, and thoughtful person she is, and I never knew the person behind the voice until now. I have pressed like and have also SUBSCRIBED :) and I will be checking out the video's on your channel. Thank you from me and my family.
Thank you G R and thank your dad for watching. Jerry
I genuinely want to know who gave this documentary a thumbs down, and why? It's a gentle, affectionate yet detailed look at Connie's life. How can anyone possibly find fault?
Maybe he was busted😜
@@nomerlayoc412 I'LL GIVE CONNIE FRANCIS 👍👍👍👍👍👍!
Connie Francis .. the best ever singer kept me alive during the 1950.s She was the one who woke me up on the radio each morning with her angelic voice whilst i was in hospital as a young teenager’ I still get a warm glow when I hear her
Wonderful voice, great talent! Connie Francis was my Idol in the 60'! ❤🌹
Met Connie Francis when she visited a British Military Hospital in Germany and i took a couple of photos of her and she had a few words with me . Very nice . Early 1960s.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
She went out of her way to make others feel better.
Did they ever catch, punish her attacker?
@Marisela Cantu That's what I was wondering...does anyone know if her attacker was ever identified?
@@ttnnaples8060 They said they never caught him. In these days with DNA, they might but not then. If he did that to her, we can be sure she was not his only victim but thankfully not a dead victim.
@@GlennaVan agreed 😑 it's very sad but she lived and did many more years career wise after that plus songs :)
Excellent Documentary. Since Connie was a favorite of mine in my early years I found that this Documentary brought tears to my eyes because I never knew she had gone through so much grief. God Bless her.
I love Mr Skinner's accent... I could listen to his stories all day long!
I remember her songs when I was still a child and enjoyed them. Then when I was older I saw her on a talk show or something and she sang God Bless America and she just blew me away. Her voice was powerful and rich! God bless you Miss Francis.
I estar ,listhening her music since I was 10 years I did really love her voice
Ms Connie Francis will always be America's sweetheart . Long live this darling & wonderful soul ❤
On the contrary Connie Francis was triumphant in the end She ran a victorious race! She had a triumphant life! Not a tragic one!
Thank you sir for another great video
Sadly true.
When I was a teenager in the 50s I just thought Connie Francis was my age. Maybe a little older but not much. I had no idea she was born in 1937. I was born in 45. I never knew any of this story about her life. Wow what history what she went through. I always enjoyed your music shed a real pure voice.
Oh man, these stories strike me less as tragic stories but stories of how great people triumphed and how too many of the lucky jerks who happened to know them let them down.
Jocelyn Carter: Being that I was young ' when Connie was beginning to become a star' I didn't know her or heard of her until I got older. The song "Who's Sorry Now" was my favorite. I didn't know about her troubles, the rape, being diagnosed, and the trouble marriages. Wow, Connie you really had a life! She's a talented singer, and I wish her well!
JocelynHk Carter i8m¡
Or rather being misdiagnosed!
Always the best, Mr. Skinner. This one had be tear up. Connie was one of my first crushes.
I loved Connie Francis and the songs she sung. This video brings back so many memories

I love your videos, brilliantly done, clear, concise and factual. Wonderful xxx😊🌹♥️
So glad I have my notifications on. You did it again, Jerry. Thank you. I've been a big fan of Connie's since I heard some of her music in a record store (remember those?) one random day. Been hooked ever since. So sad for all she went through but the beauty of her angel voice will live forever.
Let me be the first to say ‘thank you’ Jerry. Great work, as ever.
Thank you for this video, Jerry.
I was introduced to Connie Francis by my Grandfather who (along with getting me into vinyl collecting!) gave me his record “the very best of Connie Francis”.
I love that record so much and find Connie’s voice so beautiful and emotive, it’s a privilege just to sing along when I can.
I was curious about her and it’s so impactful to learn her story here. As someone who has also experienced abuse, mental illness and am currently experiencing a health condition that makes it very difficult for me to sing (and singing is very important to me), hearing about Connie and the difficulties she faced in her life, gives me a sense of camaraderie and encouragement, knowing she has been through so much and yet still is fighting.
She’s such a talent and an inspiration 🤩🤩 Absolute queen Connie!
So yeah- great video and thanks again, Jerry 🙌🙌✨✨
thank you J. Jerry
Got to see her in person in Nashville. Will always remember that, she was a good singer and a very nice person. 😊🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Another great story from a great storyteller. Thanks again Mr. Skinner. 👍👍
I love Connie’s singing and always thought she was beautiful.....
CONNIE FRANCIS IS ONE OF MYFAVORITE SINGNERS!❤
Jerry your the best, thank you for all you do!! Love your voice n accent!!
Jerry it really is amazing how you make us a part of there stories. Mental illness and wrong treatments and this wonderful woman kept going !! wow BRAVO
Mama is such a beautiful song! When my Mother was alive and listened to it with her and held her in my arms and told her I love her and this beautiful song reminds me of her and her love of me ! She was a wonderful Mom and my best friend! She passed-away in 2014 and I still miss her terribly! Haven’t heard the song in a very long time!! I always used my allowances on 45 records and of course she was a great favorite of mine! Had all her top hit records! Yes “Where the boys are “ was my favorite movie when in high school! I do remember her fading from the public! Just never knowing what truly happened to her! Thanks again for all the info on a great singer! She is part of my life and my memories of her voice will never die!!! She was really amazing singer !
Depression is a dark fog and it knows no limits or boundaries. It can destroy the strongest among us. Bravo Connie...
Another Great one Jerry on Connie Francis, who I knew so little about. What a beautiful Lady in every way. Wish her all the best!
Another fine job on one's biography, Jerry. So many of us absolutely appreciate fully the work you put into these biographies. I always hear so much that I never knew about these famous people.
