Connie Francis, the 1950s and ‘60s pop star known for hits like “Pretty Little Baby,” has died. She was 87.
Her death was announced by her friend and publicist, Ron Roberts.

Francis, who had more than a dozen top 20 hits from 1957-1964, died Thursday. Her hits started with “Who’s Sorry Now?” and included the No. 1 songs “Don’t Break the Heart That Loves You” and “The Heart Has a Mind of Its Own.” She also starred in several films, including “Where the Boys Are” and “Follow the Boys.”

A cause of death has not been released.

Francis was 17 when she signed a contract with MGM Records following appearances on several TV variety shows. Her earliest recordings attracted little attention, but then she released her version of “Who’s Sorry Now?” an old ballad by Ted Snyder, Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby.
