I bought the "It's My Party" box set from Bear Records in Germany just to get this favorite song of mine from the "California Nights" album. That is one album that should have been released on cd a long time ago
Sing hussy! (I mean that as a compliment. That is what my people say when folks are jammin'. No offense. I love Lesley Gore. Did not even grow up on her music, but stumbled upon her someway)
One of the greats!......singer and song.....Lesley Gore and Bob Crewe made the best records,that really stand up today. This could have been a single....
This a treat-I'have loved both Lesley Gore and Aretha Frankin since I was around 4 years old. Both have beautiful voices, distinct styles, perfect phrasing and never sound like weak imitations of anyone else. They are also underrated for their versatality. Thanks, Snookie!
All of Lesley's Mercury recordings are available on CD or mp3. You can get this track from itunes, for example. It was written by Ashford and Simpson, obtained for Lesley by her producer, Quincy Jones, who gave A & S a lot of help. Lesley recorded three Ashford and Simpson songs....
I know that Aretha Franklin covered this song in her early Columbia days. So much of Lesley's early Mercury LP material that's not on CD and I'd like to hear it.

They do the same thing to me. Lesley Gore is just so good, she is an amazing artist. You have to love that about her.
