OMG SHE WANTS PAYBACK!!! LESLEY GORE - JUDY'S TURN TO CRY (REACTION)

[@shellymarquez9320]

Remember her song It’s My Party (and I’ll cry if I want to)? This is the sequel!🥰🥰

[@otisroseboro5613]

Yes it is

[@Johnnycdrums]

Yes, and I can't help mentioning Tom Jones, "Delilah", followed up by "The Green Green Grass Of Home."

[@donnasharpe3451]

@@JohnnycdrumsI never thought about that. 😯😯

[@d.j.starling3559]

Sadly, Lesley died in 2015, at the age of 68. She was only 16 when her first hit, It's My Party, was released in 1963. Judy's Turn To Cry was the follow-up to that, & became Lesley's second of many hits. Sunshine, Lollipops, & Rainbows and California Nights (from 1967) are 2 of my favorites, but all her songs are great to listen to.

[@mamb70]

Thxs for the good information. Appreciate it I didn't need to type it, 😂. Im a music historian know it. Always dug her music.

[@d.j.starling3559]

@@mamb70 I bet I could tell you some stories that would impress even a music historian. My dad was a jazz musician (trumpet) & arranger, & I grew up surrounded by music & musicians, in Philly. My dad played his first paying gig in the summer of '44, at the age of 13, & remained active & highly respected in the music scene there until we moved to SoFL where he remained active until we lost him in 2002. I don't know how far back you go in musical knowledge, but some of the great old jazz cats I knew were a real hoot.

[@imreallybored1479]

my favourite lesley gore song is probably misty

[@otisroseboro5613]

Rip to a beautiful gorgeous woman Lesley Gore we still miss you

[@bradsullivan2495]

Two more from Lesley: "California Nights" and "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows"

[@jessicalee7119]

Hey Shawn and Mel ~ I LOVE you two! You are the only people reacting to this era of music! THANK YOU!

[@dagmar.6954]

Lesley Gore, was an American singer, songwriter & actress. At the age of 16, she recorded this pop hit "It's My Party" in 1963. She followed it up with many more hits including "Judy's Turn to Cry" ,"You Don't Own Me", "That's the Way Boys Are", "Maybe I Know", "Look of Love" & "Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows". Sadly she died in 2015.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

"California Nights" was my favorite. I had the single.

[@rosemariediamond7855]

Oh the drama of teenage love!!!!! Love you hearing these great oldies for the first time

[@eclconsulting]

Do you guys remember her song It's My Party? She cried at her party because her bf Johnny went off with Judy. This is the sequel.

[@delorespetree3243]

Love Leslie gore music

[@footballlover9207]

I have always wished someone had written a third part to this where they both realize Johnny is no good. 😂 maybe I'll write one just for me to have lol

[@aileenturrietta7553]

That's hysterical!!! Your very clever!!

[@vwestlife]

The next part of the story is that Lesley Gore came out as a lesbian in 2005, and had been in a relationship with a woman for over 30 years at the time of her death due to lung cancer in 2015. She realized her attraction to women back in the '60s, but society wasn't accepting of people being openly LGBT back then.

[@mamaasaiz]

PLEASE write the tune! I was 14 when this hit, and even I could tell Johnny didn't deserve her.

[@aileenturrietta7553]

@@vwestlife I didn't know that. That's what I love about these reactions, I'm always learning something new.

[@jillk368]

In the song, can Judy and Lesley get together? That would be so cool!

[@hollyclow2136]

Check out The Angels- "My Boyfriends back" , and the follow up, "Look at the guy with the black eye" hilarious and great girl group too

[@Silverstreak1985]

Omg - I was just singing this song this afternoon!

[@mamb70]

Leslie was a great pop singer. This and It's My Party were her biggest hits. Again, the 60s had soooo many great songs and singers.

[@kestrelle5345]

Same vintage, Shelly Fabre "Johnny Angel"

[@alfredgiuliani8253]

I was lucky enough to see her sing live in NYC and NJ about 3 or 4 times over the years, and got to meet her two times. So sweet and genuine and modest in person. And so TINY! Such a shame that she passed so young.

[@paulr.3220]

This brings me back to 13 years old spinning 45 rpm records with the neighborhood girls.

[@shayneshinkai1772]

I like how positive and bubbily you both are. Great job!

[@dennisloveland498]

This song was actually a follow-up song to Lesley's very first hit, It's My Party---"oh what a birthday surprise, Judy's wearing his ring...it's my party and I'll cry if I want to,cry if I want to,cry if I want to. You would cry too if it happened to you."

[@otisroseboro5613]

A beautiful voice

[@mamakittyluvsjesus]

You should listen again to its my birthday and will cry if I want to and then this it will make more sense as this was sequal . Talking about girlfriend boyfriend songs of that time I was reminded of one other Leader of the pack by The Shangri-Las

[@Teresia12]

This is fun. Love watching y'all reactions.

[@trevorjohnpatrickwalker]

She was a great singer lesley gore xxxxx may she R I P

[@carollittle1059]

You Don't Own Me, was huge and you reacted to it.

[@JamesAllio]

No longer with us, but Lesley continued performing live right to the end in nightclub and concert stages - great on standards, she had many more hits like "She's A Fool" and the brilliant "You Don't Own Me"

[@michaeldunkin7553]

Shawn and Mell, I want to wholeheartedly agree with Jessica Lee's comment. I grew up in that time period and I'm so glad I did even though it makes me old now (75) lol. But that was a fun time, the music timeless. But I want to add just a little more to what Jessica Lee commented on. It's refreshing to see someone now reacting to music in that time period. You help keep it alive and I know that those of us from that time period are eternally grateful. Your reactions are amazing. Please keep it going. Thank you so much.

[@fintanstree]

Now that you've covered Lesley, and Ronnie Spector, next you should check out Annette Funicello. My trifecta of 60's female singers!

[@robertasirgutz8800]

Please, guys. Check out "Maybe I Know". Leslie Gore is so adorable.

[@user1952-e4g]

Next up- The Crystals- "Da Doo Ron Ron" (nonsense part of lyric chorus), but great feel-good song from 1963.

[@lauraparker6391]

My favorite Lesley Gore song was sung in the movie fame ,out here on my own

[@ajruther67]

This song is the sequel from her song It's My Party. It's best to listen to them back to back.

[@sandrasandymanning4354]

Hey S & M Squad! Check out Jimi Hendrix playing his version of the "Star Spangled Banner," at Woodstock! The sound effects he makes with his guitar! Amazing stuff! This was during the Vietnam War & the Summer of Love, 1969.

Another big lady singer of the 60’s, an excellent singer, was Connie Francis. She sang a song much like this, about lipstick or something, can’t remember! Everything she sang was a hit! Johnny’s a daughter, LOL!

I saw this very thing happen when I was in high school seems like it's a high school thing maybe even Junior High thing.

[@stevemichaelsmichaels4646]

Lesley took Johnny back in Judy's Turn To Cry, but she took him back on her terms, telling him You Don't Own Me!

[@delaro1967]

Discovered by Quincy Jones, Lesley Gore wrote the very fine song "Out Here On My Own," featured in the 1980 film 'Fame.' Unfortunately, Lesley died in 2015.

[@OldBoiler62]

Sorry, but Lesley is referring to 'It's My Party' and I'll cry if I want to because when Johnny and Judy walked in like a Queen with her King, she's wearing his ring'. Now it's Judy's turn to cry because when he was supposed to be hers at the party, now he's returned to her. Love love love your reactions and you guys are my favorite for sure. Love from Canada. :) It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to Cry if I want to Cry if I want to You would cry too, if it happened to you Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone But Judy left the same time Why was he holding her hand When he's supposed to be mine? It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to Cry if I want to Cry if I want to You would cry too, if it happened to you Play all my records, keep dancing all night But leave me alone for awhile 'Til Johnny's dancing with me I've got no reason to smile It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to Cry if I want to Cry if I want to You would cry too, if it happened to you Judy and Johnny just walked through the door (walked through the door) Like a queen with her king Oh, what a birthday surprise Judy's wearing his ring It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to Cry if I want to Cry if I want to You would cry too, if it happened to you Oh, it's my party, and I'll cry if I want to Cry if I want to Cry if I want to You would cry too, if it happened to you It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to

Leslie was such a doll at that age, and a great singer/personality/talent . Not too many people know it was the great musician, composer/arranger/producer Quincy Jones that "discovered" the 16 year old Leslie, and supervised these hits. Fifteen hits!
