Newsflash: A cd of previously released material is being released January 31 , 2011. The great news about this cd is that it contains two previously unreleased tracks Lesley recorded: "America's Sweetheart" and "If Our Congs Can Make It (Why Can't We). In addition, the cd is supposed to contain some "chatter" at the end of some songs. America's Sweetheart clip is posted here on youtube. Check it out!
@stevemichaels2020 Thanks for keeping us up on Lesley! That second unreleased song sounds very interesting. I will be hounding the net, looking for that cd!
Love her matter of fact tone. She has no time to waste - good for her! I also love the unexpected but oh so perfect horns. As usual, your description is a delight - always appreciate the music more after reading your comments. BTW, Ms Gore's French version of this song popped up in the related videos. Have you heard it? The French lyrics are along the same lines except she doesn't believe his promises anymore, much less want to hear them. It's "Hey NO" - guy is totally out of luck.
@EtoilepourDavid Oh my good buddy! It's always a pleasure to talk about the music with you! I always hope those little write-ups don't sound to way out; I just love hearing all those little bits and pieces in the music tracks and I'm glad you enjoy reading them! Your description of Lesley's singing style is a great one- "matter of fact tone." I keep trying to figure out what it is about her voice that grabs me so much and I like how you state it.
@tomovox Yes, Lesley sounds great in French! She sings: Maybe I Know; Hey Now; You've Come Back, You Don't Own Me (Je Ne Sais Plus); Run Bobby Run; If That's The Way You Want It (all in French). Italian: Judy's Turn To Cry; You Don't Own Me. German: You Don't Own Me; Run Bobby Run; Time To Go; That's The Way Boys Are; Der Erster Tanz; Sieben Girls; and a few others. The foreign recordings on on It's My Party from Bear Family Records 5-cd box set.
@stevemichaels2020 thank you very much for this information! i will have to get my hands on that box set! Lesley is fast becoming another all-time favorite of mine.
@EtoilepourDavid I will check out that French version right now! I recently bought a 2-cd set of the Motown artists singing their hits in French, Itallian, German and other languages and I find it fascinating how these singers can do that! I know Lesley is going to sound just as great in French as in English!
