As I mentioned in [this](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tell-us-an-interesting-random-fact-you-stumbled-across-part-2/1004785/1591) MPSIMS post earlier in the year, she was the first female pop star, and sold over 100 million records. Yet so many people have never heard of her. She’s not even in the R&R Hall of Fame.

RIP, Connie. Am hoping one day you get the recognition you deserve.
