I just got back in the U.S. and heard at the airport that Connie Franklin has died

I’ve been playing her album all day in tribute. Felt a bit sad so I took my nerve medicine and had a couple of gimlets.

I wonder if Sammy Maudlin will do a retrospective?

who?

I guess I don't know her.

I do her "Gloomy Sunday" at Karaoke night! It really brings down the house!

Not funny... I'm still here!!

That is NOT CF in OP's link!

WTF is Connie Franklin??

Andea Martin is a fucking genius.

Did you fly in from Moscow?

Connie returns.

What? He's been dead since 1932.

When the real one does go, this is the pic they should use of her. It captures her the best.

Connie, being the good sport that she is, has this Connie Franklin video on her website.

Who can forget her legendary guest appearances on The Helen Lawson Show? I guess the news won’t be all Trump scandal tonight after all. RIP, Connie. We will miss you.

Wait—this is last Sunday. You mean OP confused Connie and Aretha? Thank God. (No offense to the Blacks).

0/10.

STOP SLAPPING MY FACE, PLEASE!!!!

OP is Larry King.

I'm gay and my idols are led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Never heard of this person.

You either get Connie Franklin or you don't.

Who can forget:

"I'm losing my hearing I've gone blind in one eye I'm sorry I can't hear you Did you really say goodbye?

I'm really into music and I've never heard of Connie Franklin.

Wow! It’s amazing so many people feel motivated to voice their opinion when they have no idea what’s being discussed.

The best jokes go over the heads of about half the audience.

A grief-stricken Lola Heatherton just posted on Twitter: Baby, baby, my hearts freezin' boo hoo hoo I'm all alone, I got no love this season, boo hoo hoo.

Any word from Lorna Minelli?

Thanks OP -I haven't thought of Miss Franklin in a while. Such a hard life - her triple mastectomy, her plummet off the CN tower, the rashes...

Its nice to know that DL is here as a refuge for Eldergays and the memories of a world that is no longer - SCTV was some funny stuff....

Of course today, a parody like this is too subtle for the masses - plus, the objections for " appropriating a personality".....

[quote]I haven't thought of Miss Franklin in a while.

Wait. Has something happened to Miss Frankie Grande??

I bought her K-tel compilation as a kid and once ran into her backstage while she was fishing one of her wigs from a toilet bowl, I'll be lighting a candle and putting on "Stop Slapping My Face" tonight.

Have Five Neat Guys tweeted their condolences yet?
