The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has annoyed me for years. Connie Francis has sold an estimated 100 million records worldwide throughout her career. She has been one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, with over 100 charting singles, including number-one hits like “Who’s Sorry Now” and "Where the Boys Are".

As for why she isn’t in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, there is no definitive answer. The induction criteria include the influence and significance of the artists’ contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll. The way Dolly Parton did?

Many fans and critics have argued that Connie Francis deserves to be inducted, and there is still a chance that she might be in the future. That would be nice but she retired in 2018 and is 86. At this point, if it were offered to her, she should do the same as Cher intends to do if offered to her at this late stage - give them the finger.

I look at others on this list from the fifties and sixties era who made the list. Del Shannon was basically a one hit wonder and he was inducted. Connie dominated the charts for a decade with 100 million sales, has quite a few gold records and she has continued to perform til 2018. Yet she continues to be ignored.

Rodney Dangerfield isn't the only one who gets no respect
