Vikki Carr turns 70 today. She's got a Mexican background, and was born Florencia Bisenta de Casillas Martinez Cardona.
She was a fairly successful pop singer in the late 60/early 70s. Her big hit was the melodramatic "It Must Be Him," which went to #3 in 1967. The song may be best known today as the one Vincent Gardenia plays over and over in Moonstruck.
Here's a bizarre video she did of Rodgers and Hart's "Ev'rything I've got."

I once watched a "This Is Your Life" episode on Vicki Carr on the mistaken assumption it was for Vicki Lawrence from the Carol Burnett Show- I waited to hear "The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia" and was disappointed (obviously) but also wondered why Vicki didn't look familiar.
Your childhood seems to have been a series of misunderstandings about pop music.
I prefer to think of it as a deeper understanding of popular culture
