LOS ANGELES — Connie Francis, the wholesome pop star of the 1950s and ‘60s whose hits included “Pretty Little Baby” and “Who’s Sorry Now?” — the latter would serve as an ironic title for a personal life filled with heartbreak and tragedy — has died at age 87.

Connie Francis, the immensely popular mid-century pop singer known for songs such as "Who's Sorry Now?" and "Pretty Little Baby" died Wednesday.
