Biography
Elizabeth Eaton Converse, known professionally as Connie Converse, was born on August 3, 1924, in Laconia, New Hampshire. Raised in a strict Baptist family, she lived in New York City in the 1950s and began writing songs for friends. During this period, she worked at Academy Photo Offset in Manhattan's Flatiron District. She is known to have made only one public performance, appearing on The Morning Show with Walter Cronkite in 1954. In 1973, while she was suffering from depression and alcoholism, her friends pooled their money to pay for a six-month trip to England. A year later, in August 1974, a week after her fiftieth birthday, she sent a series of letters to her loved ones announcing that she wanted to change her life and disappeared. Her work was largely unknown until it was featured on a radio program in January 2004. An album of her music, How Sad, How Lovely, which included songs like "One by One" was released in March 2009. Subsequent releases include Connie's Piano Songs in 2014, the Sad Lady EP in 2020, and Musicks in 2023.
