"WHO’S Sorry Now?" was the first hit record for music legend Connie Francis in 1958, but these days Connie is singing "Everything’s Coming Up Roses."

A revitalized Connie is gearing up for a major concert tour of the United States and abroad, including the Philippines this Valentine’s Day at the Araneta Coliseum and will soon begin production on the movie based on her autobiography. She also plans to write another book and has released new CDs from the No. 1 selling and greatest female recording artist of all time.

After 50 years in the entertainment industry, Connie Francis continues to delight audiences at sold-out concerts at prestigious venues across the US and around the world. She recently completed sold-out engagements at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco, singing in four languages, to the delight of fans (who came from five countries) and critics alike. "The crowd loves Connie Francis," declared the San Francisco Chronicle, noting, "They don’t’ make pop stars like her anymore."

It is the same reception that Connie Francis will be expecting from her thousands of Filipino fans when she comes here this month for the much-awaited Valentine engagement tomorrow, February 14, at 8 p.m. at the Big Dome billed "The Connie Francis Greatest Hits Show" mounted by Steve P’ Neal Productions. The singing sweetheart of the America for decades will dish out her most loved ditties throughout the years: "Wishing It Was You," "Where the Boys Are," "My Happiness," "You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me," "Malaguena," "Mama," "High Noon," and "Where Is Your Heart" among many others.

Tickets to the Manila show are available at all Ticketnet (911-5555) and SM outlets. The show is brought to you by China Airlines, the official carrier; Green Forest Travel; Yamaha Musical Instruments; and RJ100 FM. The official media partner is the Manila Bulletin. Special guest will be master of disguise and outstanding singer Willie Nepomuceno.

Connie recently returned from the Far East, where she did shows in Hong Kong and Malaysia, performing before audiences of 3,000 respectively. Connie’s other recent appearances have included Place des Arts in Montreal, Canada and the Sahara in Las Vegas–her 45th anniversary concerts at the Sahara.

She was the top female entertainer in Las Vegas during the 1960s and the youngest performer ever to headline at the Sahara, performing there between 1960 and 1969. Her anniversary concerts at the Sahara were oversold, and the Sahara had to bring in extra seating to accommodate the demand.

Connie is very busy these days and currently working on several projects.

She will soon become executive producer of a movie based on her life story and best-selling autobiography, "Who’s Sorry Now?" The movie will soon go into pre-production with Grammy Award-winning entertainer Gloria Estefan, portraying Connie.
