Lesley Gore on the "Mike Douglas Show" 11/10/1969

[@beverlymontebello6992]

I'm 17 and Lesley Gore was and always will be a huge inspiration to me as a singer and a person. I wrote her a letter just a few months before she passed and I got the sweetest reply, along with an autographed photo. Miss Gore was an amazing human being and I will miss her. But I will always have her wonderful songs to listen to.

[@eddiet2]

Young man, what a wonderful sentiment! To appreciate such a great voice, and class such as Lesley is commendable. At your age, to know what a real singer sounds like, tells of your musical appreciation. Yes, she was inspirational. I loved her as a youth, and still do even after her passing. It's remarks like yours that tell me there's redemption for the youth of today when it comes to musical appreciation. I loved her the moment I heard "You Don't Own Me", and "Sunshine Lollipops".

[@simone222]

Anthony, thanks for sharing such a lovely story. I wish you best in your musical endeavours.

[@jackjules7552]

I wish Lesley Gore was as sweet in her reply to me when I met her in 1980. She was one of my customers and I complemented her on her performance on the TAMI show which was playing at a revival movie theatre in town. She responded by being extremely nasty. She turned into the wicked witch of the East. I am not kidding.

[@jackjules7552]

@@skipandslide I understand how you would doubt it. Her public image comes across as being sweet and nice. But my experience with her proved different. But I forgive her and I am still a fan.

In this particular episode of The Mike Douglas Show, Lesley Gore sure sounds more jazzy than all of her previous regular musical scores. I just loved her Brooklyn articulated accent. Thank you. Johnny, Montréal, Canada 🇨🇦

[@kpitt1204]

I love her voice and look. I grew up on r & b, but something about her voice caused me to seek out her music. I met her about 10 years ago, and she was gracious, charming, witty, and cute.

[@anonyarena]

Loved this video of the beautiful & incredible Lesley. But I also just wanted to say how struck I was by hearing Lesley Gore & Barry Goldwater have a completely civilized political discussion in which they were able to disagree without being insulting, nasty, snide, or even anything less than just totally respectful and even KIND to each other. What a different world we have today! RIP Lesley, you were wonderful.

[@jackjules7552]

Lesley was no hippie or activist. That's why she got along with Goldwater.

[@anonyarena]

@@jackjules7552 Actually, Lesley described herself as very much an activist. She got involved in activism at Sarah Lawrence College; first volunteering for Robert F Kennedy’s presidential campaign; later she worked with Bella Abzug in the women’s rights movement. She described Congresswoman Abzug as her "mentor" in activism. “She kind of mentored me as to what’s important for women." During the 2012 presidential election, Lesley Gore organized a PSA that advocated for women’s reproductive rights. She was an activist for feminism and gay rights; wrote music for women's rights campaigns; and she hosted a Lesbian & Gay public television show, called "In The Life." So, it's not that SHE wasn't an activist. What I was commenting on is that it's that OUR culture has changed. Discourse ha gotten worse since the 60s. Especially around Conservativism; that's what has changed. I was commenting more that it's GOLDWATER who is the one who getting along with Lesley, not the other way around! Goldwater would not be tolerated by today's Conservatives. Notice, there is no insulting, snide, or condescending attitude coming from HIM, the way you would see today from a Rep. Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Matt Gaetz; (to say nothing of political pundits like Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity who are even worse in their displays of contempt and insulting accusations.) It's not that Lesley changed. Lesley was always kind and polite, and not because she "was no activist," but because she didn't use activist politics as an excuse to be personally rude and insulting to people. There didn't seem to be a rude bone in her body.

[@jerrismith3797]

@@jackjules7552 she did'nt get along with Goldwater she just showed her class by cutting him to the quick with words . She was a lady about the debate , using her soft spoken words . Have no idea where you think she got along with goldwater pretty sure it was agree'd apon before hand to keep it civil.

[@jackjules7552]

@@anonyarena Yes, I know of her activist activities. But I have to disagree with you about her always being kind and polite. When I met her for the first time she was exceptionally scary rude. She came into my place of employment in 1980 and I gave her a one sentence compliment about her work in the TAMI show which at the time was being shown in a movie theatre in New York City. Her response was to give me a look of such contempt accompanied with a verbal dagger that cut right through. A friend of mine at work told me that she really doesn't respond well to compliments of her past work. Sorry. So much for her not having a rude bone in her body.

[@anonyarena]

@@jackjules7552 Sorry to hear that you had that experience, although I've never heard anyone else who met her or who has known her express a similar story. As you know, it's always possible to catch someone on a bad day, over even to innocently compliment someone in such a way that's misinterpreted and comes across to them as a backhanded compliment which strikes them the wrong way (as in, "hey, you used to be good way back when,") even if that's not how it was said. Everyone is only human, and subject to their own interpretations. Again, sorry to hear that happened to you.

[@fomalhauto]

She was singing jazz music before she became a professional singer. It was her jazz singing demo that got Mercury Records' attention and made Quincy Jones wanting to work with her as her producer and mentor. She did two Soul songs in 1968.

[@warp13]

One of the great voices of the 60's. Thank you for posting. I miss how good talk shows were back then - today's "talk" shows seem to be formula driven and promotional in nature. Today it's about the gag -back then it was about intelligent conversation .

[@gymnastix]

You are absolutely correct about television talk shows in the past. Whether hosted by the warm and friendly Mike Douglas and Dinah Shore, the witty-but-sensitive Jack Paar, the bright but sometimes pretentious Dick Cavett, the amiably chatty Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin (the latter who, in later years, had a penchant for theme programs), the convivial and sharp Tom Snyder, or the truly intellectual William Buckley and David Susskind, TV talk shows of the 1950s through '80s were about real conversation, the hosts more often asking.insightful questions of and actually listening to their guests, and the guests (for the most part) remaining through the program and sometimes interacting with their fellow guests. Today, TV talk shows are more rigidly formatted, with an endless stream of tireless (and often tiresome) self-promoters who say the same things on many different programs. The guests of TV talk shows today are mostly from the entertainment sphere, not as many more serious guests (such as authors and interesting non-celebrities), in part because viewers read less and are less culturally aware than in the past. Ellen DeGeneres has merely replaced Oprah Winfrey as the host of a superficial, politically correct show with a following that is almost cult-like but offers nothing of substance.

[@MetFan37]

Today's late-night talk show hosts are so clueless, and the shows are so rigidly formatted, the star cannot even stay and "join the panel" as in the past. Those were the days.

[@austinteutsch]

She's singing about a place she will reside in forever...Heaven. Great voice and a wonderful talent. RIP Ms. Gore.

[@tylerzeiger414]

In my opinion, one of the greatest artists of all time. What's sad is that Mercury Records claimed she owed them $175,000 when they dropped her around the time this show aired. After years of litigation she finally saw earnings from her many slew of hits in 1989! In her words she was one of the "lucky ones."

[@jackjules7552]

Well maybe Lesley did owe Mercury records $175,000. From what I read of the case, Mercury claimed that because of Lesley's many failed recordings that she actually cost them money that they never recovered. From 1968 through 1970 Mercury released numerous singles and albums of Lesley's that sold poorly and in most cases did not even make the charts. Mercury blamed Lesley for the failure of her post 1967 recordings and released her from her contract around 1970, leaving Mercury with a huge debt. Mercury invested a lot of money in Lesley's recordings with their lush and expensive orchestrations. Even Lesley herself stated that it was not uncommon for her to walk into a recording session and find 20 background singers and an entire orchestra ready to support her recording of a song. Many of Lesley's recordings were starting to fail as early as 1966 but then she would rebound with a hit. However, having a hit for Lesley after 1967 no longer seemed possible.

[@fomalhauto]

@@jackjules7552 I actually enjoy her live singing more than the recorded music. My opinion is that the music was overproduced. She's so lively and expressive in her live singing that it made her reco I really noticed that in her TAMI performance. All the orchestra stuff and background singers were unnecessary. It was a jazz singing demo that got her discovered. She came off like a professional jazz singer. Lesley pointed out that were a lot of jazz elements to the songs that she sang. She even mentioned that It's My Party had some too.

[@GeeBee909]

Sorry, I don't agree. She got ripped off by the record company. She sign NO contract with them that said "I, Lesley Gore will be responsible for any records not sold". That's b.s. and record companies KNOW THIS. She made them millions of dollars and they paid her next to nothing in comparison to what she made for them. If a film fails in the theater do the actors owe the studio? They used that b.s. excuse to not pay her. According to Lesley herself she only received ONE check from the record company (I think for around 20G), that was ALL until she took legal action. I'm just glad she fought and won for the monies that was right fully hers@@jackjules7552

[@jontepper7904]

Wow...not only can ,Lesley Gore sing so magnificently,but she is also such an articulate speaker against the Vietnam War. Moreover,she speaks her mind so clearly, sitting right next to Sen. Barry Goldwater...it's an awesome performance!

[@gymnastix]

Lesley Gore was one of at least two younger pop music singers (the other being Tommy James, of Tommy James & The Shondells) who, in 1968, publicly supported the brief presidential candidacy of Senator Robert Kennedy. In fact, I read somewhere Gore was a member of a group enlisting college students' support of RFK. That took some independence, as many more affluent college students supported Senator Eugene McCarthy (the first Democrat presidential candidate to break with Lyndon Johnson over the Vietnam War) for the '68 Democrat presidential nomination, precisely because RFK waited a bit longer (calculatedly analyzing the prevailing political winds) to break with LBJ and announce his own candidacy. In hindsight, of course Bary Goldwater proved to be correct, both that Lyndon Johnson was not the "peace candidate" he pretended to be in 1964 and about many other political and social issues where liberals (many among them Marxists with an agenda) advanced the erosion of the United States' system and values, with wasteful government spending that continues to bankrupt the U.S. to this day. I loved (and still do) Lesley Gore's music. But I have also lived long enough to have evolved from her naive political thinking (at least as expressed in this TV appearance). I also wonder if, by 2015, Gore was still as politically liberal as in this TV appearance from decades ago. As one old adage goes, "A conservative is a liberal who just got mugged." But more broadly, with age often comes more experience and wisdom to view the world more realistically than through the rose-colored glasses of youth.

Interesting you wrote that, as Patty Duke's hit single "Don't Just Stand There" (at least before the bridge of the song) bears a similarity to Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me."

All three--Gore, Newton & Williams-- had this rather husky or raspy speaking voice with a trace of a lisp.

She was singing jazz music before she became a professional singer. It was her jazz singing demo that got Mercury Records' attention and made Quincy Jones wanting to work with her as her producer and mentor. She did two Soul songs in 1968. Mercury Records didn't think that they fit the image that they had for her, and so those two Soul songs weren't played. She sang jazz and soul when she was performing. A lot of her vocal style was jazz and soul like. BTW...some of her hit songs were R&B and not just Pop/Rock too. It's My Party topped both the pop and R&B charts. Pop is actually vague...It's referring to what's Popular..........Many music genres can fall into Pop. She never wanted to be just a pop singer. She wanted to do a lot more. She was capable of doing a lot more. She was trying to evolve and expand as a singer. She was doing the work, but it wasn't accepted because it didn't fit with the image that was made for her. Too many people tried to fit her into a box. She wasn't allowed to be herself. She loved Afro-oriented music. Etta James was one of the singers that mentioned that was one of her influences. She worked with more than one African American producer. After Lesley died, Quincy Jones referred to her as an incredibly soulful singer/songwriter.

I knew he was right about a number of key issues, foreign and domestic, and had that confirmed as LBJ went on to wreak havoc on our society, damage that changed the face of America to this day. In his last years, Senator Goldwater seemed to undergo a strange transformation in this thinking, but for most of his life, his was a strong voice for reason and the constitutional limitations on the excesses of government.

They did that in Iraq a tiny country and all of it was lies -- service men are coming back broken and have no jobs; no families; are living out on the streets; what kind of a country is that?

What if she changed herself with another person? With an imposter. She looks completely different if you compare her from 1967, California Nights to 1969 and onwards. She doesn't look the same and it is only 2 years in between. Her voice, her looks and the way how she talks.
