As I was shaving this morning, the voice of Connie Francis singing "Where The Boys Are" passed through my head. Several minutes later, David knocked on the door, to tell me that the singer herself had passed away today, at the age of 87!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a sure thing that tonight's performance of "Just In Time" will be extra special, in tribute to Connie. Gracie Lawrence, who plays her, will knock herself out more than usual, and if Jonathan Groff has not blown the roof off Circle In The Square yet, he surely will tonight.
I even have memories of having seen Connie Francis, live, with my parents, at the Steel Pier, during the Summer of 1960. I can still hear her beguiling; plaintive way she sang each song.
Connie will be missed, and I certainly hope she finds peace, as she went through some rough times in her life.
How exciting it would be to see "Just In Time" tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rest In Peace, Connie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is Connie singing "Where The Boys Are." Listen, and savor!!!!!!!!!!!
