Lesley Gore - 98.6/Lazy Day

[herasmarket]

Leslie just had so many hits -- most likely all of her songs if released would have made it to the top -- surely this one and I love summer sym and fools rush in is way better than rick nelsons!

[bernardsdaughter]

Another great one by Lesley! Thanks for uploading it!

[probyngregory]

On St. Elsewhere, Lucy was out sick with a cold for a few days, then returned to work. Victor asked if it was too soon to come back. She said "I'm fine. I took my temperature this morning. 98.6." And Victor said, "It's good to have you back again."

[DancingSpiderman]

This medley works VERY well -- YAYY ! Leslie Gore !

I like this song bettah than the Laverne and Shirley theme song. BWAAahahaha

[JubalCalif]

This blend of two 60's hits ROCKS! The beautiful & talented Lesley ROCKS too! What a joy it was to hear this today for the first time. Thank you VERY much for posting this utterly delightful "blast from the past"! You've MADE my day & my week!

[Kevin90028]

On St. Elsewhere, Lucy was out sick from work with a fever. When she returned, she said knew it was time to return when she woke up and took her temperature and it was 98.6. And Victor goes "It's good to have you back again."

i wish everyday was a lazy day

[preciousjey]

there was another version? by who? lesley's the best

[Martywt43]

I really love the Lesley Gore version better that the others.

[stevemichaels2020]

@Martywt43 Agree. This should have been a hit for Lesley in the late 60s. The flip side of the single was Summer Symphony, a beautiful ballad. Neither song was featured on any album (at the time). They are featured on the Bear Family 5-cd box set titled It's My Party.

[stevemichaels2020]

@stevemichaels2020 Another song which should have been a hit for Lesley is Wedding Bell Blues! Too bad the Fifth Dimension got their version released before Lesley's version.

leslie is queen!! thanx again!!

[MrTrashcan1]

I knew both original hits (Keith and Spanky), but never heard Lesley's version until I found it on Napster years ago. Just love it! Thanks for posting.

[JSG1951]

Nice version combo of 2 great songs. I always thought " Brink of Disaster" had the flavor of 98.6.Thanks for posting

[BernardProfitendieu]

another great post from Brent!!

I had never heard her do this before

[fossie32]

Me neither! Good stuff!

[catfan]

This may have been one of Ms. Gore's last charted hits. I think this came out in 1969. I always have liked her a LOT, and still do even today! What a fine lady!

[stevemichaels2020]

You are correct. Mercury Records released this song May 1969.

[pkappel006]

I believe another version of this tune was out by another artist during that year or two of 67/68. Although I can't recall the name of that group, anyone remember the name???

[MrTrashcan1]

@pkappel006 @Martywt43 Well it's two songs. Keith had the hit with "98.6" and it was Spanky & Our Gang with "Lazy Day."

[JohnnyGNV]

LESLEY ROCKS - always has been a very

underated artist.

[JubalCalif]

@JohnnyGNV

That is SO true !!!

[53topanga53]

Over the top HOT!!

She was (is) one of the very best of the best times of music! The nostalgia is so sweet!

[silverfox4yu]

Who cares if she is gay or not....geez, She is a great artist and this song should have been a great hit, heard it alot on a San Diego station.

[efrem7]

Just about everybody was covering each other's songs at the time. Not that it was a bad thing necessarily.

[Fersommling]

Hey, never heard this before. It's nifty!

[Rightsideup]

God she was so hot.

[NoMoSpam]

She was also so gay.

She always knew it but came out of the closet later.

[IDLERACER]

To the best of my knowledge, these two songs were Powers & Fischoff's only two top 10 hits, so it's only natural that someone would combine them together into one big mash-up. Spanky & Our Gang, Keith and Leslie Gore were all on Mercury records.

[JSG1951]

I always thought "Brink Of Disaster" was written by the "98.6" writers.Was it?

[IDLERACER]

It wasn't, and anyway, it certainly wasn't a top 10 hit. It only made it to #82.

@IDLERACER check out my discography at tonypowersmusic  peace, tony powers

[stevemichaels2020]

Lesley's new album, Ever Since, is fantastic. Check out lesleygoredotcom.

[091053JG]

Somehow I can only imagine Keith singing 98.6.

[eli2lewy]

Thanks for the medley of this song.Nuff Said.

[silverfox4yu]

Great, Great, Great song...thanks so much for posting it.
