"Francine" gave ZZ Top their first bona fide hit reaching #69 on the Billboard charts. It is the only single released from the 'Rio Grande Mud' album. Various official ZZ Top releases throughout the years, beginning in 1972, have used the alternative spelling "Francene", especially on the various single releases, both within and outside the United States. The song was actually written by Billy Gibbons with Steve Perron and Kenny Cordray. The latter two were not given credit for many years, and they received little or no royalties for decades.Deborah Frost (1985). ZZ Top - Bad And Worldwide. New York: Rolling Stone Press. .
