Connie Francis 5

Connie Francis is more qualified for the R&RHOF than any female performer already inducted. She has more No. 1 hits (3), more top 40 (35) and more hot 100 (56) hits than any female inductee. She was the the first rock star recorded in 9 different languages. She's had over 60 albums and 3 sound tracks. She entertained the troops in Vietnam. They're all great but how could LaVerne Baker, Ruth Brown, Etta James, Joni Mitchell, Dusty Springfield or Bonnie Raitt be more qualified than Connie Francis. Brenda Lee comes a distant second to Ms. Francis qualifications. Shame on the Hall of Fame.

Lesley Gore would, in my opinion, be qualified for the hall of fame. I've listed the reasons in a review I wrote a while back but she was one of the first to sing of women's idependence (You Don't Own Me) and while she had a few clinkers (Sunshine, Lollipops) overall she was right up there with the best of them. I would put her ahead of Brenda Lee as Brenda later on found more fame in the country music market.
