Connie Francis

“Stupid Cupid” is a song co-written and recorded by Neil Sedaka. Sedaka released his version in 1959, a year after the song was recorded by Connie Francis. It was a big hit for Francis, and helped launch her career as an international recording star.

Singer Connie Francis was at the height of her success in the 1950s and 1960s, and was the first female artist to get the number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100. She suffered through at least two tragic incidents in her life. She was raped in 1974, in a motel she was using while performing at a New York music fair. She was very close to her brother George, and he was murdered by Mafia hitmen in 1981. Despite it all, Connie Francis earned recognition as the “First Lady of Rock & Roll” in some circles, and was described by fellow singer Gloria Estefan as “the first female pop star worldwide”.
