Overview

"Francine" was the only single released from the Rio Grande Mud album and gave ZZ Top their first bona fide hit reaching #69 on the Billboard charts.[4]

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 b-side of the single was the French version of the song. It was later included on the box set Chrome, Smoke & BBQ.
