Koni Francis’s dark past
While Francis’s professional life was flourishing, his personal life was full of struggles. The late singer was admitted to the hospital in 1974, when she was R*Ped and suffocated in KNIFEPOINT.
The incident occurred immediately after a performance at the Westbury Music Fair in New York. The entire episode took a toll on her mental health, and the lyricist could not perform for many years.

Koni Francis, somewhere else, talked about his four unsuccessful marriages and claimed that his unusual adolescence was the cause. He said, “I blamed four bad marriages for him because I never grew up like a normal teenager … He could not tolerate the idea of any man who took his place in my heart. It was a love-attainment relationship, highly combustible. We were always arguing.”
She is earning tribute to the heavenly singer.
