Page "Connie Francis" Paragraph 28

Francis ' enduring popularity overseas led to her having television specials in numerous countries around the world, such as England, Germany, Spain, and Italy.

Even at the height of the Cold War, Francis ' music was well received in Iron Curtain countries, and some of her recordings were made available on state-owned record labels such as Melodiya in the former Soviet Union and on Jugoton in former Yugoslavia, although it was common knowledge that rock n ' roll was highly looked down upon in Eastern bloc countries.
