I think she is every bit as lovely here as she was in the 60s... It's almost as though this song has matured with her, and though the story is the same, there is more urgency in the telling.

[@michaelgarfield9845]

More urgency maybe, but she could hardly relate to a 'boy & girl' song personally, given that she was a lesbian.

[@rohithpadikkal7082]

We have this habit, promoted mostly through movies, of seeing the decades as separate time periods that stand on their own as if they have no connection. Like, Lesley in the cover image of Its My Pary from 1964 looks very 60s styled and here she is rocking the classic 1980s frizzy hair.. my point is, must have been fun to go through each decade like that, something only a 21 yearly old like myself can only dream about.

Her signature song indeed....can you imagine how many times over the many years she toured, that she sang it...I imagine at times she got a bit tired of it, but then again she knew it was responsible for launching her into stardom, and had to have known how her long time fans looked forward to hearing her sing it at every concert, trying to retain a small piece of their youth....

Read "Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon" for some insight into how mainstream "talent" was/is "discovered."

She already had singing lessons before she started working with Quincy Jones. Yeah....she's great! I was amazed at the power and maturity of her voice as a teenager. She excels at expression through gestures and facial expressions......beautiful smile that's infectious She comes across very confident and highly experienced. I was blown away when watching a youtube clip of her 1964 T.A.M.I vocal performances.
