The world says goodbye to Connie Francis, a timeless singer whose voice defined a generation and unexpectedly captured the hearts of Gen Z. She passed away at 87, leaving behind a catalog of hits that are—surprisingly—blowing up on TikTok and streaming platforms in 2025.

While many know her as the singer of emotional hits like “Who’s Sorry Now?” and “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool”, it’s her song “Pretty Little Baby” that’s currently trending on TikTok.
