@JackHaynes30 Why would this be a comment? Unless your dckhole i full of pudding?? Pete Reeves 1908 Pine Ave., Altoona, PA

[adamD69007]

@JackHaynes30 Someone's sexually repressed.

[tinkerbellys]

Now all these stupid girls all like 'Squee!! Guess who brought me here..? heehehe' and now this video is ruined. Guess who brought ME here? Myself. I'm so proud.

[ReevesPete]

@tinkerbellys Too bad you have such a low level of frustration, to let "stupid" girls have such power over your emotions and feelings. You better have that looked at. Sounds like someone soon hiding in the bushes (all by yourself, so proud,) Pete Reeves Altoona, PA

[sherylfberry]

her facial expressions are amazing.

[aslanpuma1]

@sherylfberry I agree they are amazing

[gilly62]

[fjbutch]

Still got a crush on her...ha...what a sweetheart

[jd18504]

UNTITLED-EMINEM!!!!

[nodiirectionhome]

I love the live performance of this song better than the studio.

[Dashtyme]

Great live performance well written and well sung song that will last the test of time. Thanks for posting it!

[Abivalerie]

I borned late.... :(

[rosemma34]

ooooohhhh

[greenandblacklover1]

i sing this song all the time!!!!!!! :D

[nmatos2005]

I think we all want to yell these words out from time to time even if we love our current relationship! Thanks Lesley!

[citywide44]

So now she's standing up for herself...not crying because Judy's smile was so mean.

[shutdafup]

I always remember this song being the B-side of the It's My Party 45

[stevemichaels2020]

@shutdafup You are thinking of the reissue of this song. Mercury reissued some of her hits  as "two-sided"records. The original Mercury issue of You Don't Own Me (December 1963) had Run Bobby, Run as the B side.

[Spudd56]

More man than woman singing here  ;)

[DevoBassGirl]

@Spudd56 thumbs down

[ZarahLean]

I bought this hit record when I was a child. I remember my father saying I have good taste. Much later, when Lesley Gore hosted the Gay rights show "In The Life" and  after went public about being a Lesbian...I was even more proud of her.

[Cynbad1957]

@ZarahLean THANK YOU!!! Leslie is a  remakable Woman!& Fantastic Snger!

[rubbercomics]

Excellent stuff.

I only recently discovered Leslie Gore via Lucky McKee''s The Woods'. I'm now a big fan. And it's great to see this online.

Thanks to whoever posted it..

[firebreather333]

shes EIGHTEEN?!?! holy fuck.

[beatcrazy14]

No i DO love the message that relationships shouldn't be abusive and as if one person owns the other, but it can apply the same way to women who think they own men. So it's not just a feminist thing. I'm not saying that everyone thought it was but I've seen comments on this that just consist of "This is GREAT for ALL of the WOMEN who have BOYFRIENDS that THINK THEY OWN THEM!!!!". I love Lesley's music and I think she is speaking for both men and women when she sings this beautiful composition.

[taypar11]

Don't tell me what to do.. I like to lick pussy just like you guys do. And I'll lick all the pussy I want to, so go fuck yourselves. I love the message, but not the bullshit of it, meaning that love is what makes it all work. Fuck her!

[TheARMYBROAD]

Thanks sooo much for this!!! It never gets old! Even though it may fall on deaf ears even in this day and age, (sad but true) I appreciate this great video!

[Spudd56]

Forget it chick !!!!

[RedRoosterRoad]

@Spudd56

Forget what? 

[3sportdad]

What a DOLL. What POISE for an 18-year-old! This is the epitome of stardom: I'm watching this young woman sing, I know little about her personally, and yet I'm thoroughly entranced by her. This performance is magnificent.

[AlexDhuna]

This songs was covered by The Ormsby Brothers in '73.

[pamindoc]

Smart, talented, and still rocks today

[Ihatehytz]

i was born in the 1700's, but I remember this song like it was yesterday.

[robinvti]

ever so recent!

[MrDacca1]

and a beautiful talented lady

[09bnunez]

she was a teen queen back in the day!!!!!

[1933goudey]

And the 2012 winner of American Idol is.....Any gal that can sing this song like Lesley!

[la28typeofgirl]

haha lesbian



[WanderingTwin1]

simply AMAZING!!!

[BTK9er]

BTK is in love

[j033l0w]

It's funny. Nowadays, I can picture this being a man's song.

[coronet51]

Wow!  What a great live performance of this song. Lesley gave a great concert in the park in Parsippany NJ about 4 years ago, a terrific mix of her new and old.

[lalba07]

I love this song!!! I'm 38 years old so this was before my time but am so thankful to come from a family that loves music, so I grew up hearing this. And I'm not sure why, but this morning I woke up with this song in my head so now, I just had to hear it. And I get the chills everytime I hear it! Especially the part "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO...DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO SAY...", GOD I love that part. Great song, sometimes I wish I was a teenager in this era...

[181818kenny]

miss music like this

[parsonman05]

Immortal Classic !!!

[peteo100]

I love her fabulous flip doo, all ratted up.

[threecats407]

Classic!

[alternativegrunge91]

great music is great music....

regardless man or woman singing doesnt make any difference.....

i always respect tough strong-willed women..,,props...

[BoxManUSP]

<3<3<3 wow...

[rabidcow307]

Eminem - Untitled......

[littlequeen64]

To my husband.........

[WikeddTung]

amy winehouse should've covered this

[dancingwdeer]

@WikeddTung that would have been genius!

[smfbiz]

Love this live performance !! Great loves the way she sings "you dont own me " the part !! Love it Thanks for posting my friend!

[BUZZ4134]

Gosh, I love this song and only Lesley Gore can do it right! I have her greatest hits and enjoy listening to them every now and then. This was from the T.A.M.I. concert ....which was really good. I also liked James Brown and the Beach Boys; the Stones did a good job as well singing one of my favorites "Time is on my Side."

[ivyimogene]

Possibly the original feminist song...lovely! Recommended for all men.

[xKAYLIExBABYYx]

im 16 and i just found this girl. she is INCREDIBLE. you can tell shes very confident and classy, she is just beautiful and a great singer. im obsessed. and nobody knows what im singing cause its from the 60s ! :P

[joesolese]

@xKAYLIExBABYYx Good for you. They reason why nobody knows is cause your peers are probably 16 as well and have never heard good music. Try "The Crystals" Kissed me is a good one. Enjoy

[joesolese]

@xKAYLIExBABYYx I meant "Then he kissed me"

[TheBlueb0ttle]

Nobody owns you hun you belong to the Gore family............stop taking the piss out of us.

[VTMCompany]

why is she putting a pause between 'don't' and 'own?' VERY strange compared to the recorded version and not so good!

[petethepontiff]

Hello everyone, thanks for watching! Glad to see the chauvinistic comments are dying down a bit- we're evolving! And in large part we're evolving thanks to courageous people like Lesley Gore. I literally still get chills everytime I watch this.

Lotsa love folks!

[parmenides91]

@petethepontiff

Yes thanks so much for posting this. I also always get chills when I listen to it! I think it's one of the most inspiring and truly iconic performances on here. Towards the end it really becomes a sort of sixties anthem, the way she generalizes the initial possessive boyfriend thing into something much bigger - asserting her capacity for self determination in the face of any threat to it! For me in it's passion and commitment it's the equal of Janis Joplin at Monterey!

[IAmBetterThanCrash68]

only eminem can turn this into a good rap

[exxcalibur1973]

NFL commercial ftw!

[ForEverRon]

Lol i just realized! at 0:37 she calls him an ass This song's so awesome

[chilllydoggy]

@ForEverRon

cool pickup !

[maybe2baby7]

@ForEverRon acctually i think shes says "cause"

[ForEverRon]

At 0:55 the most beautiful smile i have ever seen in my life

[MrHumberto1954]

La version de este tema que hizo Luz Eliana en Chile fue muy buena, notable. Chlilean singer cover whose name is " Luz Eliana" of this song known as " no soy tuya" , was really good

[stevemichaels2020]

Yes, this song was way ahead of it's time when it came out in 1963. Hard to believe that there are still some who think they "own" women. Just the other day I was watching Divorce Court. The plaintiff (a guy) make statements like: I work 89 hours a week, when I come home I expect her to have dinner on the table; I do own her, she's supposed to do all those things for me; she's supposed to keep her self in shape. The judge just laughed at him.

[whatanightmare1]

@stevemichaels2020 I have an ex-husband the same way...I heard him say all of that and more during the brief 4 year union, lol...he found out he didn't own me, but I owned his ass in court :=)

[emomagica]

@stevemichaels2020 Relationships are very much quid pro quo and have unwritten expectation clauses that might include - I work 89 hours per week and you stay fit and have my dinner on the table. I don't see anything wrong with that, but I do see something wrong with claiming ownership over a person.

[RedRoosterRoad]

@emomagica It's not your partners duty to provide you with food. If she makes a meal and there happens to some left over, it's yours.

If not, you make it. Just like she does.

[80skor]

@stevemichaels2020 Nobody "owns" anyone, but there are expectations from each person in a relationship that should be give and take for the relationship to work. If only one person is benefiting then it ain't gonna work.

[RedRoosterRoad]

@80skor Yes. If only one person is benefiting then it won't work.

But the man in his comment was a dick. Expecting all of these things from his partner. No wonder he was in divorce court.

[Pobnifus]

@stevemichaels2020 The song wasn't ahead of its time at all.  America was and is BEHIND its time. Judges should have laughed at that crap back in 1963 too.

[gayforlife2020]

I admit to not finding a lot of Top40 music very deep, but once in a while a song came out that actually said something that stuck or stung or "meant it." This song has a message that is still important, it was sung well, and it's been popular since the 1960s: So I guess that makes it part of America's Classical Music. I needed to hear it tonight. peace

[TheBlueb0ttle]

I always fancied her....from a distance, a Continent..lol

[wildbill57187]

I was ten years old when I first heard this song. What first came to my mind is here is a girl who isn't afraid to speak her mind! That is why this song was such a ground-breaker! She sings with so much emotion, one can't help falling in love with her. This is a timeless song, that will last a lifetime for those who first heard it. Thank you Leslie Gore for bringing us a Classic we will always cherish

[SweetFelicia1]

Bless ya for doin it!

[youtuuberoxx]

Lesley you can "own me" anytime...HUBBA HUBBA

[BeachBoysJanDean1]

Wow! I know Jan & Dean sang about her (Here They Come, From All Over The World) , but I didn't know just how terrific she was in this show!

[stevemichaels2020]

@BeachBoysJanDean1 ......the representative from New York City is Lesley Gore, now, she sure looks pretty....

[BeachBoysJanDean1]

@stevemichaels2020 ........East Coast meets West Coast in the best kind of way!

[sunlinesusie]

10 years before Helen Reddy and I am woman. Great song

[lancetop]

This has 1 million plus views because it is a transcendental experience to see/hear it. The lighting is terrific, the stage setting is awesome 1960s decor, but most of all it's about LESLEY...and how a teenager could go on a stage and sing like that!!!!!!! How amazing that a young teen could put on that kind of mind blowing performance!!! amazing to say the least.

[1Gabybear]

Fantastic. Wish life could actually work out according to that philosophy.

[NascarNene]

wow ,u gotta love this time when they really sang, i hope my daugter, and grandaughter listen to this

[poundandeliot]

"I'm young and I love to be young. I'm free and I love to be free." -- an anthem for the 60s if there ever was one

[neenie091]

love to watch this....good memories, christmases and the like with get togethers and music that was stuck in our minds forever....lots of sing songs xxx

[jp2002mr]

that was brilliant

[bobwoerner50]

hit the road.

[renkaku]

every feminist OST :)

[badworld02]

I like this song, it is energitic and refreshing.  Whenever I sing this song, people cant stop staring at me.

[santamonicagirl4life]

TAMI Awards live in Santa Monica! I wish I was alive when they were here...16 years too shy (sigh).

[MrChucho68]

Dignity since 1964! 

[neckface1980]

It's funny cuz I have had women tell me that our relationship diddn't work because I wasnt 'Assertive' enough' with them and in my mind I was thinking exactly what leslie gore was thinking, that you are your own person who dosn't need to be pushed around, and I thought you loved me just the way I am?

[37gasr]

@neckface1980 That's because you weren't living in 1963 when things were much different.

[37gasr]

@neckface1980

That's because you weren't living in 1963 when things were much different.

[whatanightmare1]

@neckface1980 They might be mistaking your passive way as "uncaring" or aloof? It's a possibility...heck, what an I say, we ladies are impossible to figure out ; =)

[neckface1980]

this video floors me every time I watch it, you can feel what kind of class she had just from her posture and vocals, it is soo attractive it is ridiculous.

[Delriversit]

Proof that you don't have to make a fool of yourself, like some modern pop singers do, in order to grab an audience's attention. All you have to do is bring emotion and a nurtured, vocal talent to the stage. Thanks Ms. Gore.

[neckface1980]

This is the Hottest fucking live female vocalist video I have ever seen : )

[glennybob52]

Where have all the great ones gone? Why can't we have music like this today?

[marshlm1989]

I love this version so much better than the recorded version!

[RebelYelliex]

I wish Amy Winehouse would've covered this one! 

[justlikeandydotcom]

Brilliant!

[justlikeandydotcom]

great tune, don't put me on display

[justlikeandydotcom]

great hair, is that a wig

[SuperBnichols]

she looks like patty duke

[uconn1019]

she is gay

[so154jg]

@uconn1019

ur gay lol

[baraldi]

@uconn1019 yep out and proud

[SuperDino2222]

Women's Lib classic

[Joez86]

Now, that's singing. Babe of the 60's - Lesley rocks :-)

[3lsa]

Creo que me he enamorado...

[MrRJDB1969]

Man , I love the "look" at 0:10 . It's all in the eyes.

[epilepticteen]

fucking fresh

[AdoreYourEnemy]

Absolutely amazing! 

[rmtmiller]

All of a sudden I'm wondering if Katie Holmes has heard this song.

[poundandeliot]

Betty Friedan 1963, Lesley Gore 1964, Glora Steinam 1969. She was there and she made a difference.

[MsKoali]

Yeah ! Lots of people have covered this but she's THE one who owns it !!

For the message - really necessary to know that you can say "You don't own me".

The 'don't think don't speak don't feel' dictates you get are all control - so if it doesn't change - move on!

[diddymuck]

she looks like a guy in drag!

[stevemichaels2020]

@diddymuck The camera lense had vasoline smeared on it to give it an effect. Lesley does not look like a guy in drag!

[diddymuck]

@stevemichaels2020 elongated chin, high forehead, unmoving hair (perhaps a wig), no makeup and a piercing stare.

[stevemichaels2020]

@diddymuck No, Lesley never wore a wig in the 60s. She has stated in the past she used lots and lots of hair spray on her hair. Perhaps the "piercing stare" was intentional to get her point across....you don't own me!

[fifihdez]

hot lez!

[littlebutterfly19]

Bravo - Sweet Lesley! wow

[tanszeqi1999]

this song should be dedicated to everyone...don't let anyone get in the way of anything you like to do!! ( must be positive though )

[wattever333]

the message of this song (you don't act as if the other person belongs to you) has STILL not been received. although the first verse talks specifically about "when someone is dating", it applies to one's entire life.

Even when one is married, If the other person is unfaithful, you just have a decision to make: do I want to continue this relationship? If not, get a divorce. If you are hurt, sue for emotional distress or whatever term is used in your country or state.

and then, MOVE ON!!!

[rose4464]

dont you just love it.. xxx

[preciousjey]

the live versions are the best

[ojr777]

she was hoooot



[aaronsny]

One thing I like is to come back to this page and hear her - she is Quality !

[haitodo]

WOW ! !

God, i was borned too fucking late, and i missed all the good things

[silvershields]

@haitodo you clearly missed your english lessons at school too!!
