"My Happiness" by Johnny Francis

Liner Notes quote on "The Very Best of Connie Francis" album

I love reading the liner notes on these old albums.  Of course they are trying to sell the albums.  The "She is, without doubt, the most popular girl singer in just about any country you can name." quote was pretty surprising as I only remember a few of the songs on the album.  That must have been a short lived moment in time.

I was also bothered by the "girl singer", while that is true it sounds funny.  I would have considered her a "woman singer"...  but that sounds funny too.  I think "female singer" would have been better.  The record industry was very male oriented in those days.

So when I typed the title for this blog post I typed her name but looked at the record to make sure I typed her last name right.  But later when I looked at the blog title I had typed '"My Happiness" by Johnny Francis', WEIRD!

Looking at her in the Live TV/Dick Clark video I would definitely not call her a girl!
