16-year-old Francis signed a record contract with MGM and "Freddy" was released in June 1955 as the singer's first single. In 1957, a cover recording of the classic "Who's Sorry Now" soared to #4 on the pop charts and had Dick Clark declare her "a new girl singer that is heading straight for the number one spot."
