[@jerryboucher5622]

The voice the face the hair whats not to love about this incredible woman Thank you Lesley for so many wonderful memories.

[@williamwyckoff3963]

Lesley Gore was a great singer and very Beautiful as well.

[@daisycassidy2448]

I loved Lesley Gore's music as soon as it came out in the sixties. She left us way too soon. Rest in peace, beautiful lady.

[@jerryhund5630]

A classy lady who left us too soon. RIP Leslie.

[@robyngoss6400]

Wonderful to see her live Beautiful still have all my 45s

[@annaritaranalli1791]

DAmned cancer

[@bennyadler5882]

Leslie was a very, very understated performer/singer who held her own against Motown and the Brit's during that competitive mid 60's period.

[@ZosiaBlob]

Its 2022 and i still love Lesley Gore. She died 4 days before my sister was born💔 Cancer takes the best people too fast

[@gabbiemara]

6:19 she was expecting *THE* question, wasn't she? 6:24 made my little gay heart skip a beat.

[@19gregske55]

I met Lesley Gore and her brother Micheal Gore, serendipitously, at The Riviera Café in NYC in 1980. Both of them were absolutely charming.

[@colleenco1641]

LOL I THOUGHT THE SAME THING

[@cloudyswildride]

YES! The 'is it true' almost always followed by 'are you gay' 🤣🤣🤣

[@eecortese]

At 5:17, Lesley is absolutely irresistible. She is only seventeen here, but possesses the poise and presence of a person much older. Even that face, that magnificent face shows a maturity way beyond her adolescent years. She is pure magic and fifty-seven years later, I am still hopelessly in love with Lesley Sue Goldstein.

[@eloise5129]

She was a lesbian as well! So inspiring.

[@abbyjohnson7863]

I started really singing along to her songs when I heard You Don’t Own Me. I love it! ❤💕

[@thomasodetto4670]

God, I miss this gal so much. Thank you Lesly for passing thru our life time. May you continue to sing with the angels. Rest In Peace. Your music will live on forever. ❤️

[@AtlantaGymFan]

Once I heard her voice, I was hooked! I bought all the 45's as soon as they came out!

[@italoman9]

It wasn't time for you to leave yet, Lesley, and I bet you felt that still, too. :(. We miss you lots and always will!

[@gordontyree9858]

Lesley...beautiful inside and out! Loved your incredible voice. RIP

[@richardschindler8822]

Loved her, loved her songs, now she’s sadly missed.

Love and miss Lesley. A true angel.

[@kathrynmoll86]

Gore definitely makes the 60 vibe timeless with You Don’t Own Me.

[@fredkaplan9720]

We Miss You Leslie ❤

[@bettymartinez7027]

Lovely lady in every way. RIP sweet Angel.

[@andrewjones8317]

Lesley Gore was the first rock n roll female singer -- something that writers have missed. She had 25 charted hits.

[@cnoland2000]

Actually, I think you missed it too. Connie Francis was the first female Rock N Roll singer. In was 1958 and she scored gold with "Stupid Cupid." It even topped the charts in England--number 1 on their hit parade. And the hits just kept on keeping on from there. I liked Lesley too, but let's not forget Connie first, Brenda second, and then Lesley came on the scene.

[@MrScoopoo10]

1 number hit almost two but this band named the beatles took that spot

[@juliadawnyel3648]

Still had your record s lost in house fire before Christmas lost everything home dog and car now homeless still you are my rock

Beautiful eyes

[@brandywineblogger1411]

Yes, her perfect flip! It's because of her that my hair is flipped like that in my 1967 senior class picture! She had amazing eyes!

She was just great !

[@christineunicornsplays2064]

[@evacaceres9447]

When I was a kid on the ‘60s era I didn’t know English, but I loved listening all those kind of music and I made up lyrics and sang along with the music standing in front of the mirror with spoon 🥄 as a microphone 🎤

[@thebluehurricane]

What a lovely woman.

I just found out about Lesley Gore. When she was young, that voice, those eyes.

Point of Praise: ■the dancers on "Judy's Turn to Cry" are wearing incredible 👗dresses, they are inspired by Piet Mondrian.

[@60s70sVintageRock]

Wrong...Donovan is Scottish, born in Glasgow. He lives in Ireland now.

[@thomastimlin1724]

They always seem to skip her finest song in my opinion, California Nights. They always keep her stuck in It's My Party mode, just because it's an easy hook for people to remember and sing. It's My Party is almost now a parody of itself.

[@60s70sVintageRock]

Thomas Timlin - Agree. My favs were 'California Nights,' 'Maybe I Know' and 'You Don't Own Me.' I think 'It's My Party' and the sequel, 'Judy's Turn To Cry' were bigger hits because they were easier to dance to, lol.

[@ellentdouglas]

I totally agree. California Nights is a great song. I like She's A Fool too.

[@garywarmee4367]

Agree! California Nights is incredible. A lesser known song. The Look Of Love is a simple pop song, i know, but something about it is so charming and gives me little chills! Look how upbeat and delightful Lesley is here all these years later. Love her. She's someone special!

[@Teamster83]

She was cute

[@user-jg1ez6kk9e]

@@babbisp1 and @Rick Barnes - The video you are looking for is from American Bandstand, 1966. The reason you can't find the entire performance on YT is because Dick Clark Productions owns the copyrights and they are very strict about usage. I've been lucky DCP hasn't taken my video down. Here's the interview from that show on the DCP channel, but no performance! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qonVon6vnN2Wg6s

[@heinkle1]

How could she possibly owe her record label? Artists had terrible deals in the 60s…

[@johndipinto8816]

I think it was pretty standard in pop artists' contracts back then (unless they were able to negotiate otherwise) that all costs of recording their record would come out of the artist's cut of the sales profits. So even if the record sold well, it might be a little while before the artist would see any money from it. And if the record didn't do well enough financially to reimburse the "expenses" of recording, the artist would be on the hook to the record company for the balance.

[@GeeBee909]

That's WHY all artists should to hire (separate from the record company) THEIR OWN (a) accountant (b) music attorney (c) PR team. Give them a percentage of their income. After her 1st hit Lesley was in a strong bargining position and should have put this team in place. They took FULL advantage of her (as they did so many others) because of this. See her comment here where she says "...and I was one of lucky ones...". I'm glad she fought them and got something. She made millions for them and should have asked for an audit. Ripping off the artist back then was a common occurance because many were young kids and/or didn't know how the music business "worked" and they took FULL advantage (same thing happened to the Beatles) of them @@johndipinto8816

[@60s70sVintageRock]

@babbisp1 See my explanation under your question. 😉

[@murraywood7480]

Listen to the talk about how they started singing songs after so many beats etc. Listen, is that not a tribute to the era of music that was, talented people singing & playing instruments with little or no backing . No lip sync , or other mumbo jumbo that they bring out d=today & call 'singing , music or whatever ' What a suburb era to grow up in... wasn't it... Peggy Wood

[@dannyinaus]

wow, I didn't realise she was Gillian Anderson's mother!

[@stellahiggins682]

Thats incredibly untrue I don’t know where you got this information

[@19gregske55]

No, No, and No. Gillian Anderson is the daughter of Rosemary "Posie" Alyce (née Lane).

[@rhuephus]

Gore was never married .. at least not to a man

[@han2786]

Why would two man write you don’t own me ¿

[@60s70sVintageRock]

Most songs sung by women... about men... were written by men. Especially in the 60's and 70's.

[@enlightenedhummingbird5101]

Read "Strange Scenes Inside The Canyon" for the answer to this.

[@Guitar11player]

I remember Leslie as a girl every boy would love to have as their girlfriend and 1st love because she was my dream girl who I imagined sang to me on late night radio about the boy she loved ! She made you glad you were a teenage boy. I dont think she was a feminist until certain groups influenced her. RIP angel!

[@maeveh7103]

thomas actually every album after her first has feminist undertones in my opinion. Also, don’t you know she was a lesbian?

[@FaerieCrone]

Donovan is Irish not Scottish

[@annaritaranalli1791]

I read he is scottish

[@60s70sVintageRock]

@Amoriah Donovan was born in Glasgow, which makes him officially Scottish. His grandmothers may have been Irish, but that would only account for 1/4 Irish blood.
