defrogLesley Gore is gone.
Which I thought I’d mention because Gore is usually lumped in the category of early-60s one-hit wonders, primarily because most people remember just one song (“It’s My Party”), which is usually the one that gets included in oldies compilations.
But in reality she had a number of hits in the 60s, thanks in no small part to her work with Quincy Jones.
Personally, this is one of my favorites:
There’s also “Hello Young Lover”, which you can watch her sing to Hugh Hefner here:
Gore’s songs have been covered by a lot of people. A lot of people point to Amy Winehouse’s version of “It’s My Party”. I’m more partial to Joan Jett’s take on “You Don’t Own Me”.
Respect.
You’d cry too if it happened to you,
This is dF
