Connie Francis, whose ballads dominated '60s music, dies at 87
Connie Francis, who dominated the pop charts in the late 1950s and early '60s with sobbing ballads like 'Who's Sorry Now?' and 'Don't Break the Heart that Loves You,' as well as up-tempo soft-rock tunes like 'Stupid Cupid,' 'Lipstick on Your Collar' and 'Vacation,' died Wednesday. She was 87. Her publicist, Ron Roberts, announced her death in a post on Facebook. Petite and pretty, Francis had an easy, fluid vocal style, a powerful set of lungs and a natural way with a wide variety of material: old standards, rock 'n' roll, country and western, and popular songs in Italian, Yiddish, Swedish and a dozen other languages. Between 1958 and 1964, when her brand of pop music began to fall out of favour, Francis was the most popular female singer in the United States, selling 40 million records. Her 35 Top 40 hits during that period included 16 songs in the Top 10, and three No. 1 hits: 'Everybody's Somebody's Fool,' 'My Heart Has a Mind of Its Own' and 'Don't Break the Heart That Loves You.' She was best known for the pulsing, emotional delivery that coaxed every last teardrop from slow ballads like 'Who's Sorry Now?' and made 'Where the Boys Are' a potent anthem of teenage longing. Sighing youngsters thrilled to every throb in 'My Happiness' and 'Among My Souvenirs.' 'What struck me was the purity of the voice, the emotion, the perfect pitch and intonation,' said Neil Sedaka, who wrote 'Stupid Cupid' and 'Where the Boys Are' with Howard Greenfield. 'It was clear, concise, beautiful. When she sang ballads, they just soared.' Her song 'Pretty Little Baby' had a TikTok-fueled resurgence this year, trending for weeks on the social media app and soaring to top spots in Spotify's Viral 50 global and US lists. Concetta Franconero was born on December 12, 1938, in Newark, New Jersey, and grew up in the Ironbound neighbourhood. Her father, the son of Italian immigrants, was a dockworker and a roofer who loved to play the concertina, and he put an accordion in his daughter's hands when she was 3. From that moment, he hovered over her musical development and her career, putting her onstage at local lodges and churches. She made her stage debut at 4, singing 'Anchors Aweigh' and accompanying herself on the accordion at Olympic Park in Irvington, New Jersey.

Glamorous presenter breaks silence after being branded ‘vulgar'
Don't miss out on the headlines from Football. Followed categories will be added to My News. Italian presenter Eleonora Incardona has broken her silence after being called 'vulgar' by a critic. The glamorous DAZN star was one of several presenters who were criticised by Valentina Maceri for her choice of outfits, The Sun reports. Tszyu vs Fundora 2 & Pacquiao vs Barrios | SUN 20 JULY 10AM AEST | In the biggest fight of the year, Tim Tszyu faces Sebastian Fundora in a blockbuster rematch, plus Manny Pacquiao makes his highly anticipated return to the ring to face Mario Barrios. | Order now with Main Event on Kayo Sports Incardona, 34, starred for DAZN Italy during the broadcaster's coverage of the Club World Cup in the US. But Maceri was not impressed as she said: 'Incardona mainly presents the betting odds. 'And she does it very sexy. Sometimes vulgarly.' The criticism came after she published her new book: 'F*** Female Empowerment: The Great Mistake of Modern Feminism.' Eleonora Incardona was criticised for her outfit choices. Photos: Instagram Eleonora Incardona working for DAZN. Photos: Instagram But Incardona has refused to change her ways, having broken her silence on the criticism. During an interview with Global Networker, she said: 'Style is clearly part of your personal and professional identity. 'How does fashion empower you in high-stakes, male-dominated environments like sports broadcasting? Fashion is my language. 'It helps me express who I am and feel confident, even in male-dominated or high-pressure environments. 'I never give up my femininity — on the contrary, I use it as a strength. 'When you feel good in your skin, you're ready for anything.' Valentina Maceri was critical of Incardona's outfits. (Photo byItalian presenter Diletta Leotta has also copped criticism. (Photo by Alberto PIZZOLI / AFP) Maceri is not the only person to take exception to the outfits worn by Incardona. Fashion expert and stylist Sonja Grau has described a recent black dress of Incardona's as unsuitable for the 'business' world. The presenter shared a video of herself wearing the bold dress and doing keepy uppies pitchside. She told Bild: 'It doesn't make a serious impression. 'This is perfectly acceptable in leisure time, depending on the situation – for example, at the beach or a lake. 'But Ms. Incardona was in the business world and that's not professional in any way and has nothing to do with style. 'Bare midriffs and that low neckline don't belong in the office either. 'It's fine in her free time, but everyone has to decide for themselves what they want to score with.' Incardona stunned fans multiple times during the Club World Cup with her outfits. One instance was when the law graduate and former model went braless in a slinky dress for one match. Colleague Diletta Leotta was also the target of some of the criticism by Maceri. The blonde bombshell is a firm fan favourite on the screen with her near 10 million followers on social media.
