A Top 5 hit for Lesley Gore in February 1964. This hit is part of Rock History, IMO. It was #2 on February 1, 1964. I Want to Hold Your Hand by The Beatles was #1. I don't think that anything more needs to be said.
Lesley hit #2 in Billboard, 2-1-64. Ever heard Lesley talk nowadays? She sounds nothin' like a soprano voice, now. I wonder if she smokes, to have her voice sound as deep as it does? IDK! God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Shalom, Lesley!
It was a bit different from the regular my boyfriend's mine and back songs of that time, but still noteworthy. also, I didn't know of the song until "The First Wives Club"
Quite ahead of its time - a post feminest anthem that still retains its female charm and avoids the goofy posing of a later hit, "I Am Woman" Thanks for the upload.
Great special effects! I love this song, I have the re-pressing on Mercury and it's a true stereo vinyl 45rpm. Also have this on CD... the instrumentation and effects and engineering of these recordings really made them winners for Lesley! thanks for the vid
The mono, single-tracked, version of You Don't Own Me sounds great also. There is also a mono, single-tracked version of I Don't Wanna Be A Loser that is pretty good!

Terrific. Not only a vinyl copy, but a jukebox playing. Thanks!

@bencheshire It's just a simulation of a jukebox... but a great song nonetheless.

Thanks for posting this gem by Lesley from her 2nd Mercury album, Lesley Gore Sings of Mixed-Up Hearts!
