This song came out in the 1963. Consider this, women couldn't apply for her own credit card or loan until the 70's. Women could get fired for being pregnant, and couldn't serve on a jury. This was a bold song for the time.
More younger women need to hear and see these messages, so as not to take for granted the very "hard fought for" rights...
@@barbarastewart603 Amen
I graduated high school in 1952. Where I lived, I couldn't serve on a jury until 1957. If you say who wants jury duty. Imagine somebody raped you and the jury would consist of all white men. How at ease would you be having to give the details in a room full of men with no women there. In my case, as a married woman, I couldn't get my own credit until 1983. I remember as soon as I was able to get credit started I went right to the bank and started it. Also, it was around this time that I could get a credit card in my name. Harris' Department store was the first place to offer me credit without my husband having to OK it. I had girlfriends whose husbands left them with no money or any way to take care of their children and they couldn't even get a credit card to help them get food for their children. This doesn't even begin to address employment opportunities for women at this time.
❤👍
I do reaction videos while I’m high on my CZcams channel 😬
This song's message was SO FAR ahead of its time. Nice that this is a truly live recording! Lesley was called "The First Lady of rock and roll" for her pioneering work in what was considered a man's world.
Not only ahead of its time but Lesley was only 17 when she did this.
The studio version kicked major ass, but Leslie's delivery here puts it to shame.
@@HisboiLRoi Yeah, she belts it.
This song is relevent to me of todays times. Not only the romantic partner aspect but we could sing this to our ever increasing authoritarian govts all over the world. Do what we tell you and stop thinking for yourselves. Definately dont speak your mind when nothing makes sence.
Actually, it was a part of it's time: 1964.
Leslie Gore has a lot of great songs. “Maybe I Know” “It’s My Party” “Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows” “Judy’s Turn To Cry” “I Don’t Want To Be A Loser”…
"It's My Party" was her first big it --- and her very first song! She came out of nowhere and just hit it big immediately. I think she was only 16 with her first song.
TMBG did a pretty nice cover of "Maybe I Know".
My favorite song of hers is California Nights.
Maybe I Know is my personal favorite
@@dustywaynemusic6297 Mine too.
She was 16 years old when she first recorded this song along with "It's My Party(her first)" and "Judy's Turn to Cry" in 1963
Brings back so many memories of listening to 45s on a High Fi record player as a little kid at my teenage babysitter's house.
I was 11 when this song came out. Had it on a 45.
This song was released in 1963! This was NOT how most women behaved! She was way ahead of her time! OMG ~ I love this song!!! Thanks for finding it.
@@sg-yq8pm ~ you have an opinion I disagree with as it was not my experience during those years in my personal life or reflected in the majority of the music I heard.
This was a time early 60s when its so difficult from woman today.
Woman could not have their own bank accounts, man had the control in all walks of their wife's life. This is one of the first powerful songs that started girl power back in the day, long before the Spice girls were born.
@@christinefennelly3549 What country did women not have the right to have their own bank account in the 1960s? LOL. Women have been going to college, university, becoming professionally employed and remaining SINGLE and financially independent for over 100 years. There were powerful women and they owned companies, and definitely had full control over their finances. Men had control in all walks of their wife's life? That's bullshit and only true if a woman lived/lives in a middle eastern country. My late mother went to college in the 1940s and became an Accountant - her money, was HER money. Her bank account, her rights, her control.
@@hilaryc3203 OWN BANK ACCOUNT
Do you think that countries like the US and the UK are more enlightened? Well, an American woman needed her husband's permission to open a bank account as recently as the 1960s, and it wasn't until 1975 and the Sex Discrimination Act that a British woman could open a bank account in her own name. And as for getting a mortgage on her own … forget it.
In the 1960s, women gained the right to open a bank account, however, when RGB argued that first case in 1971, many banks still would not issue women credit cards or allow them to open checking accounts without their husband's permission.
Not only that, women couldn't obtain a mortgage or get a business loan without a male co-signer.
Leslie Gore was so ahead of her time, she is LEGEND, so glad young people are rediscovering her. Those of us who came of age with her were blessed to have this level of music and artist.
"It's My Party" is probably her most classic song and representative of the early 60's pre-Beatles music. "Calfornia Nights" is another memorable one from 1967, while "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" is a short, fun song that the kids would probably love.
Also, "Judy's Turn To Cry," which is the aftermath of "It's My Party.
I loved her follow up song to "It's My Party" -"Judy's Turn to Cry " where Leslie got her revenge on Judy.
Don’t forget about “Judy’s turn to cry”
Also, Judy’s Turn To Cry.
@@BillGraper thank you I was gonna say the same thing. "Judy's Turn to Cry" rocks
While we are doing 1960’s, I wanted to point out today legendary actor Sydney Poitier died at the age of 94 he was the first black actor to win the Oscar for best lead actor in Lillies of the Field, Later on he played a reform school teacher in To Sir with Love. One of the students was played by popular British singer Lulu who sang the Theme song. She was a child star and teen idol. She was also Maurice Gibb’s first wife.
They should definitely check out Lulu. Loved To Sir with Love, but also her dance music in the ‘90s.
So shead of her time, even though women felt this a loooing time! Also RIP Sydney Poitier, a true gentleman and amazing actor
I just sent you To Sir with Love song to your Instagram
@@pattiguyre8968 Quick correction. His name is Sidney Portier but he has a daughter who also acts named Sydney Portier.
If I am not mistaken, he starred in three movies in 1967 (per a recent news report I watched): "In The Heat Of The Night"; "To Sir With Love" and "Lillies Of The Field", for which he won the Oscar for Best Actor. I remember the year for "To Sir..." because it happened to be the year I graduated.
Lesley Gore was a teen pop princess whose first hit was called "It's My Party" (and I'll cry if I want to), about a girl whose boyfriend ditches her at her own birthday party. At 17, she wanted to have a more assertive song. Quincy Jones produced it, and it became an anthem for girls in the mid-60s. 25 years later Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton sing it to great effect at the end of the film The First Wives Club.
Lesley Gore was discovered by Quincy Jones at the age of 17 in 1963. He produced her first hit "It's My Party".
Was just scrolling through to see if anyone mentioned QJ. This young lady was one of the earliest treasures he discovered
thats so cool. I loved her and remember those songs when I was a kid. I loved her. She had a fantastic voice and this song was waaay ahead of it stime. Leslie was a lesbian and had to keep her sexuality secret in those days.
This was at a time coming out of the 1950's & early 60's when most women did not work outside the home, men ruled the roost & were kings of their castle. And men & womens roles in the family were clearly defined. Men brought home the paycheck did the yard & car work. Women took care of the kids, the house & meals. When I was a kid all through the 60's I never knew any family that the parents were not together or where spouses shared duties. Women didn't have much say in anything. Divorce was not a thing. Many women stayed in marriages because they had no options unlike today. So this was a pretty powerful song for that time.One of my favorite songs from the early 60's. So many great covers of this song.
This particular performance was a rare event for television at that time because it was live vocals and musicians. She was all of just turned seventeen when this aired. The Lady had some serious pipes❣ RIP Leslie Gore. 😔
The video shown here is from The T.A.M.I. Show, which was recorded in October 1964 at the Santa Monica, CA auditorium. Lesley turned 18 on May 2, 1964.
I had the privilege of playing bass for Ms. Gore one year before she passed. She was a total pro and perfectionist-we had to rehearse all day for a one shot gig in Sag Harbor,New York. She was great/
This is a great song and she is a great talent. There were so many fabulous female artist in the 60s. And 50s
P.S. This song was featured at the end of the movie First Wives Club.
And in Suicide Squad.
And in suicide squad ( dc comic movie)
I can't hear this and not picture them singing it in First Wives Club
@@shanenolan8252 And Handmaid's Tale- the Series.
@@michellegouin3007 oh yes Michelle ( i forgot about that) . Thanks
Way, way , way before her time!! Timeless song
knowing that she was closeted during this song gives it a whole new meaning, i love lesley gore
She came out of the closet in her later years, and was always her own person. She was great. A fun video (Not for reaction, just for fun) is her on the 60's Batman TV show singing a love song to a portrait of "Robin". She was "Pussycat", the young sidekick to that weeks villain "Catwoman".
Glad you said it.
There was a movie called Grace of My Heart. It was loosely based on Carole King's life as a songwriter. There is a scene where the main character was asked to write a song for the young and wholesome girl next door. In the scene it became obvious that she was a lesbian and the songwriter caught onto it and wrote a song that she could sing to her girlfriend. It was based on Leslie Gore. Great movie and some great music.
@seanellio I much prefer her singing _'California Nights'_ on _'Batman'_ .
@@pauld6967 Singing along to a record player while then henchman look on. Pure camp. Love it.
@@seanellio Absolutely! The show may not have invented camp but it made millions aware of that form of comedy/entertainment they had previously not known.
Airing twice a week during seasons one & two (unheard of for television shows!) and spawning the phenomenon of Batmania. Even though I have the box set of the series, I will still pause to watch an episode if I come across it while rolling through the cable channels.
Lesi Gore was at the cusp of the women's movement. We were just learning that we had power and how to use it. At that moment in time we were going to college after high school not walking down the aisle to get married. We were protesting and demanding our rights. We were demanding equality at every level. You Don't Own Me became a theme song for us as we stepped out into the world. Another song of the women's movement was "I Am Woman" by Helen Reddy and definitely worth a listen on Female Friday or just any ol' day of the week! And, never forget the start of things was Loretta Lynn's "The Pill."
There's a lot of unmarried women and men out there now though so maybe some of this message may have backfired a little bit. I'd be very interested to compare relative self-reported happiness levels of women then vs women now.
@@Divine1Right You were reading my thoughts. As a Male Boomer myself, I began to suspect 10 or 20 years that the Women's Movement(which I once peripherally supported), combined with the Free Love Movement(which I once advocated) and the resulting wholesale rejection of marriage as an institution, were accomplices in the slow destruction of western societies, and the ruin of individual lives as well.
I didn't want to get snarky (and no disrespect, as I adore the rob squad & their little family) But I think y'all been Played.
There are powerful and evil forces at work here. Smarter than all of us. Certainly smarter than me, I'll admit. And as someone said, "The desire to do good, is often exploited by those who wish to do evil."
Right now the wokest people are trying to cancel & destroy a mega-successful woman b/c she had the Nerve to say that a female is a female, and a male is a male. (How Dare she say something so "Hateful?!") It's only cause she's worth $1BN+ that they haven't totally cancelled her as yet. But They and the media, keep trying. Dark times ahead. Beware the false saviors who praise you and promise you the world.
Helen Reddy's "You and Me Against the World", about a single mother singing to her young child, was the story of many, many, many of us.
@@you2449 You're weird
I was 14 when this song came out. She was big back then. Ahead of her time with this song.
So many teenaged boys fell head over heels with Leslie. I was one of them.
I was also 14! And yes she was a super female vocalist of the time. What great music, thank God for the memories and they are wonderful
Listen to the squeals of empowerment at the end of the song. Gore was 17 at this point and she had two enormous hits, "It's My Part" and "Judy's Turn to Cry," Both were very timid and dealt with girl n girl revenge. Consequently, her fan base was teenage girls, who must have been emboldened by this anthem!
Dude, this song is amazing, the music expresses a threatened emancipation, when the singer tells a lover that they don't have her, that they shouldn't tell her what to do or what to say, and that they shouldn't show her off. The song's lyrics have become an inspiration to younger women and are sometimes cited as a factor in the second wave of the feminist movement. Gore said, "My take on the song was: I'm 17, what a wonderful thing to stand up on stage and shake my finger at people and sing you don't own me"
This song is a frickin powerhouse. It's always been on my break up playlist since my teens. Lesley Gore was SO far ahead of her time. What an absolute icon!
I remember hearing this song for the first time when I was around 10 yrs old (in the 80s) and thinking "Hey, this old people music is pretty kick a**". Hahaha. Such a strong statement for girls during a time when that wasn't really a thing in music.
At 17 her voice is amazing song is great
Leslie Gore had so many hits...... check out sunshine, Lollipops and rainbows...just upbeat feel good music ♥
Lesley Gore was amazing. Her early stuff was produced by Quincy Jones. Her entire set from The TAMI Show (the concert film that this is from) knocks it out of the park.
This was 1963. We were told what to do, what to say, what to wear, what to think, what to feel, etc. Woman were second class, subservient, play toys and insignificant in a society dominated by men. No work, no education, no brains, no ideas…. Not a damn thing. Cook, clean, kids and serve the master. Seriously guys, that was reality. The time this came out, woman of the sixties didn’t want to be their Mom. We fought back, demanded equality in the home, in schools, in workplace, in society etc. Although progress was made, we still fight today. In my 40 year career, which I retired almost 3 years ago, every time opportunity knocked an obstacle was there because men did know how to deal with strong women. They still have the power.
She was an amazing Artist. Should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Leslie Gore co-wrote the songs from the movie "Fame" with her brother Michael Gore.
Amber you are going to love this one!
Next two
“It’s my party” and the follow up “Judy’s turn to cry”
love them both
They need to listen to “It’s my party” and “Judy’s turn to cry” back to back.
@@breckrichardson390 Absolutely let’s get it trending
Wasn't there a third song in that Story of her and Johnny? I have ALL her albums! She was aVERY important to me ...even though I was 9 in 1963!!! But She Got Me Thinking!!
Oh, Looked it up and the third song of her Story was "She's a Fool"...Great trilogy of songs! But she should have DUMPED Johnny...A Player for sure!☮🕊💞🌹🌹🌹
Epic is all I can say, her voice, this message, 💜💥🥰
Leslie was really out there for heer time and I remember old men in the 60s really treating her verbally badly. She was a tough girl!
So glad you discovered Leslie. She has an amazing voice, songs & presence. Please check out Lesley Gore's "Cry Me A River & Hey Jude" Mashup Cover on The Ed Sullivan Show. You really get to see her star power.
Lesley Gore fact… Quincy Jones was her original music creator. I watch the Netflix documentary on Quincy Jones, When he first started out he took her under his wing. And he talks about it in the documentary. He actually did that with a lot of young performers back in the day.
Like I've said before, I love the music of the 60s. What a great time to be alive. Leslie was just a teen when she started singing. What a powerhouse!
One of my favorites, very empowering for women, especially in the 60's and still needs to be heard today. So glad y'all listened to this!
She's not asking, she's telling.
This song came out at the perfect time. I was 14 and it was an anthem for us teen age girls.
This song was way ahead of its time! She stood out in a time when women were supposed to be seen as trophies and not be outspoken!
Recently, Ann Wilson of Heart recorded her own cover of this song backed by guitarist Warren Haynes. It is an awesome hard-rockin' version that is outstanding!
One of the best live performances ever..
Diane Keaton, Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn sing this song at the end of the movie The First Wives Club (1996).
"Stepping back" and watching these old videos/performances is like stepping into a time machine for a moment.
All of these comments, yes! I want to mention, too, that back in those days there were many guys who felt like if you were dating them, they could tell you how to wear your hair, your clothes, who you could talk to, etc. There are many types of freedom that girls fought for during those days!
This was unheard of, early 60s woman defending themselves.
When I first heard Amy Winehouse I flashed on Gore's vocals. There phrasing and the cadence of the lyrics is similar to me
Ooh yes! Good catch
@@RobSquadReactions you should check out Leslie Gore singing this as an older adult. She was still boss!
The mention of Leslie Gore automatically makes me think of 'It's my Party', which was her big hit!
Leslie Gore gosh I loved her voice and music. She had quite a few tunes.
In the pantheon of classic important "Girl Power" songs, this one is massive. There are a handful of different live versions floating around, and they're not performed quite like the original studio version, but thankfully you picked a good version here.
There are two studio versions of You Don't Own Me: 1) the single version (single vocal, outside the echo booth; 2) the album version, double-tracked vocal; inside the echo booth.
Brings back great memories. Love this song. Revolutionary for the times. I was young and impressionable--and that left a great message for a young lad like me. I had a crush on her, of course. I was 10 or 11 at the time...
I grew up listening to this song! And still listen to it and other great songs from the 60,s,70,s. ..
Wow, y'all really need to go down the rabbit hole with her songs! She was an awesome singer
Lesley was an extremely talented and popular young performer. She had 3 big hits including this one before she turned 18. Lesley sadly passed in 2015 at 68 years old. Lesley had realized at 20 yrs old that she was gay and never made it an issue, but also didn't hide from it. She was a huge supporter of gay rights in her later years. She was in a relationship for around 30 yrs. (I think that's about right) and sadly was planning on being married to her longtime GF but died of lung cancer before their wedding day came. A number of songs worth a listen.
"Dynamite in a small package" is her nickname. So many songs and full of energy. Love leslie
She was one of, if not the, first pop artist that Quincy Jones produced. Love what you guys do. Thanks.
The late Academy Award-nominated, Tenafly, NJ's Lesley Gore (the film Fame -- her song "Out Here On My Own") went out on top -- she recorded her final solo lp with Blake Morgan -- "Ever Since."
From that LP (2005) came Blake's "Better Angels," which Lesley performed so wonderfully it was used during the TV series CSI: Miami & MTV's The Real World: Brooklyn. "It's Gone," appeared later in a film. The team of Morgan & Gore produced a great LP.
Filled with a few songs Lesley wrote herself the LP was rated 4.5 stars by AllMusic & favorable reviews throughout the music media. She was always great -- & she predated the toughness of Grace Slick, Janis Joplin & Patti Smith. Lesley was the epitome of a beautiful strong-willed woman, & was produced admirably by Quincy Jones.
As a kid I loved her -- I still do. Her initial hits by the way were all recorded before she was 18 years old.
This version is good but I prefer the studio version for its better sound quality. I agree that everyone should hear this song and internalize the message.
Lesley recorded an updated version of You Don't Own Me for her 2005 album, EVER SINCE.
I just finished watching a Netflix mystery series called Stay Close, and a version of this song was the theme song. It's so great. This song is from 1963, the same year she hit #1 with "It's My Party". If you want to go down this rabbit hole, you can also do "Judy's Turn to Cry", "She's a Fool", and maybe the happiest song of all time, "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows". She's an icon. She was also one of the first openly gay women to hit it big as a recording artist.
I'm 67 and remember her music well, yet I never knew she's gay! Go Leslie.
She never came out back then.
@@marytschida5756 In an interview, she said she never hid it either. She was in a relationship from 1982 till her death in 2015. Great lady.
@@Shrykespeare that was 20 years after this song came out. She didn't come out.
I love your comments about young men and women listening to this and have equal respect for each other!!! This was 1963
This song was truly revolutionary for the time. It was a different world then. I remember it well.
If you do the Lesley Gore song "It's My Party," you should do a back-to-back listen and do "Judy's Turn to Cry;" because that song is a sequel to the first song and continues the story.
Trivia: Lesley Gore was in two episodes of "Batman" in the 1960's. She played Catwoman's sidekick, Pussycat. The two-parter was called "Scat, Darn Catwoman" and "That Darn Catwoman".
She sang "Maybe Now" and "California Nights" on the show.
I had no idea, I love learn something new everyday. Thanks.
This, It's my Party & It's Judy's turn to Cry were her biggest hits. She had pipes especially in this song. A beloved singer, sadly she passed a few years ago.
And yet, we women are STIll fighting to be treated equally!
A better known one for her is "It's My Party."
Lesley was the queen of the heartbreak songs in the early 60s and what a great voice. This is my favorite! Thanks Mama and Papa!
Lesley Gore had several hits that are worth checking out such as the The Look of Love, It's My Party, California Nights
This was almost revolutionary in terms of its message. Similar to Carol King's song Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, which put the spotlight on one night stands from the point of view of the woman.
Gerry Goffin wrote Will You Love Me Tomorrow after listening to the Shirelles' Tonight's The Night.
Yes! At heart, this is a song about equality. I loved this song, both this by Leslie Gore and the cover by Dusty Springfield. Put it on your playlist and sing it loud. My daughter and I sang this song together, and I hope both her grandmother and I lived this message to my kids. Your point about getting the message to boys is important, too. My kids are older than you two are now, but they each have strong, loving, respectful marriages. You both are modeling this to your three children every day.
Leslie was 17 when she recorded this song. It's My Party, Judy's Turn to Cry. Also an appearance from Ed Sullivan show Cry Me A River/Hey Jude. She was in her 20' s during that performance.
I wish I could go back in time and watch Lesley Gore live. On the surface she had the hair and dressed in business attire but was just a teenager when she started. The first time I heard this song was actually on the "Dirty Dancing" soundtrack and it was recorded by the Blow Monkeys.
Now that you've discovered Leslie Gore, it's time to bring Helen Reddy to the party. Her song I AM WOMAN will make Amber fist pump in the air. Her early gig on the Midnight Special will do. Enjoy.
One more thing. The biggest female group of the 196o's is long overdue for an appearance. Ladies and Gentlemen, Diana Ross and the Supremes medly from the T.A.M.I. should be allowed to be seen as the premiere hit making machine from Motown records.
I just listened to Helen after listening to their reaction to Lulu. But I figured, before I suggested I Am Woman, that I check to see if anybody else had the same thought. IAW was the unofficial anthem of the women's movement.
"I Am Woman" is iconic, but "Delta Dawn" is a great song as well.
Love this! Definitely dive into Lesley Gore’s discography. She is amazing. A true pioneer for women in music.
By the way, set aside her big initial hits, one of the most exciting cuts by that crystal blue-eyed lady was a song called "That's The Way Boys Are," (1964) which is simply dynamic & memorable. Ear-candy for sure.
If you have time sample that one.
I love Leslie Gore. She was not only a singer but an actress. "It's My Party I'll Cry If I Want To" and its sequel "Judy's Turn to Cry" are story songs. "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" is just a fun song. This song was early sixties you can tell by her hairstyle.
Glad you got around to this song. I was born in 1955 and can say definitely that Lesley Gore was before her time. Women of the 50s and into the early 60s simply were not this bold, not publicly anyway. The 50s was an era of restriction for women and the 60s brought women's liberation, but in middle America, women were slow to change and generally stuck to a very repressive code of behavior, often ostracizing women who stepped out of that mold.
Love this song. Such a powerful message. Sadly it is still a normal mindset even today. Women are still placed in an owned position in society. The man in a relationship is still normal deemed the lead in the couple. Things like the man should always pay on date and the man is always head of household even if the woman is the breadwinner needs to stop! Yes it is nice as a woman to be pampered but standing on your own feels so much better. I am woman hear me roar! Love and hugs robsquad family ❤️💋🌈
Yeah ..
.maybe in Saudi Arabia
American woman are not being controlled by men.
Please give that fantasy a rest.
@@airmark02 sorry but never said or meant that men or still controlling women. I meant that society still normalizes men being responsible for all expenses on a date. No matter who asked who out. I hate the fact that it’s still deemed weak by society if the woman pays. If I ask someone out and pick an expensive restaurant you damn well I’m gonna pay and if that someone did the same then yes I would expect them to pay. But what I’m trying to say is no man or woman owns me they don’t need to take care of me.
Now that is an anthem song! Powerful woman, powerful song, and powerful message.
How have you not heard that song at your age? It’s a classic…
Hope you eventually have "Voices Carry" by Til Tuesday for a female Friday sometime. Amy Mann is so powerful in the video.
100% second this!
Some music experts credit this song by Leslie as the launch of the woman's movement. A powerful anthem for those that believed this back then. She has powerful vocals and a unique delivery style.
Feminism began in the 19th century. They were supporters of Teddy Roosevelt.
@@sanniepstein4835 AGREE, that was the historical point of origin. Radical feminism began in the 1960's via the mass media exposure of events. The result is what we see today: chaos and extremism.
I had the biggest crush on her🥰. Wonderful singing beautiful young lady.
She sang the big hit of 1963 It's my party and I'll cry if l want to.
This girl could really sing. "It's My Party" and "Judy's Turn To Cry' are a couple more well worth checking out. ☮️✌️💕
I would love to see a reaction to Loretta Lynn’s little sister Crystal Gayle’s song “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” for Female Friday.
What a great number from 60 years ago, around the time I started High School, and there many similar hits around that time. 👍🤗
Her upper register is insanely good .. Wow.
#theClassics
Fun fact she was only 16 or 17 when that came out
One of the most ironic songs ever....back when she was recording this and performing it live - a big group of men were deciding every little thing. Her hairstyle, her wardrobe, her diet, who she was allowed to consort with, etc. This does not diminish the message nor the power of the performance, but considering the time it was made, one has to put it in proper context.
I was 12 when I went to a theater to watch her concert from England. 1963. She was only 16. I am 71 onTuesday and this was a great memory to bring up
This is like the first female liberation anthem! It took alot of guts to write and sing this back in the day. She was a tiny little lady with a huge voice and gumption.. This is how we need to raise the future little girls! Equality in all forms!!
A fave from back...WAAAY BACK...lol...in the day!! Absolutely a great message still today.
Lesley Gore is still one of my all time favorites. My 13 yr old granddaughter asked for Lesley Gore vinyl for her bday.
I was 8 years old and loved this song playing on the AM radio.
What a unique & powerful voice
I was 14 in 1963 and she was a great role model for the times..
Helen Reddy has the female anthem called I am Woman. I think Amber will really like it since she liked the Leslie Gore song.
The Platters from the 50's with Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.
I love that you are listening to all these great, old songs.
Lesley Gore, yet another artist/newbie produced by Quincy Jones. Quincy was also band leader and producer for Frank Sinatra during this era and their collaboration "Fly Me To The Moon" was played by NASA when Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon. He also produced Lesley's first hit "Its My Party." Not bad. You would cry too if it happened to you! 🎶 Stay Frosty.
