If men think they are just exploited for a meal ticket, they should reconsider the belief. They are programmed to ask women if they would like to go out for dinner or a cup of coffee whether for a date or conversation. Women, readily say, yes, as a gesture of friendship not for the cost or bill payment. If the outcome isn't as the man predicted, they don't want resposibility for the poor or unwanted relationship and blame women for using them and being disrespectful. I think it's wrong. Love
A song WAY ahead of it's time when sung in the early 60's! And from a great vocalist who, as this video shows, hasn't lost anything to time. Wow. Had a crush on Lesley Gore big time back in the day ...and she still has the most amazing eyes! Thanks for posting!
WOW, what a performance! Full of passion and integrity. A women who has created a song that politically is voicing a message very profound and part of our culture today. Women's rights always needs to be defended. Men (especially) should remember that females aren't property and objects of exploitation. Thank you for such a humanitarian message for young adults.
@notgottskruldottir What we women need to remember is that men need to have their right's upheld, too. Men are not property and are not objects of exploitation, either. I've known many women who view men as simply a meal ticket, and that they are nothing more than someone to play. Not cool, not at all.
I agree, though, this is a very strong song of personhood. I grew up listening to this and, especially when I hit my teens, it was one of the songs that I identified with.
AE: Would you say that people knew you were gay back when you were first performing? You were pretty young, about 17, right?
LG: Well, I didn’t know until I was in my twenties, so if they knew it, they knew it before I did. [Laughs] You know, maybe someone did think that. I don’t know, but I certainly didn’t know it until I was in my twenties.
I think the guards at that concert would have to arrest me for entering the scene and hug her - but I had gladly paid the fine or sat in prison - the most important was to hug and say thank you for this phantastic experience !

im gonna b 28 in October and i have loved her songs before i even knew she sang em. first song of hers that i ever heard was its my party for my 5th bday. i've been her fan ever since. her music really speaks to me. my mom says that i was born in the wrong generation b/c i am more of an oldies girl than current. i like some of todays music but i prefer the ones from the past bc they really meant something then and they had a lot of talent.
this song has always been one of my favs since it was released and no is so good to hear this so can send to ex who fucked up my life yeah and now I AM FREE
This phantastic singer should have a person walking behind her who placed a rose in every footstep because her talent turned the world into a sanctuary !!!
I heard this on a commercial just today. Reminded me of how much people absolutely LOVE Leslie Gore and those fantastic hits she recorded! Why is it blocked out at 1:45? Did Leslie fall out of her top?
Who would have ever thought that the very last top ten hit released by Leslie Gore in 1964 would wind up sparking a social movement like Woman's Lib nearly a decade later? In a word: nobody. :))
This lady has the most fantastic voice I have ever heard. She even is better than Patsy Cline who I thought was the tops, but Lesley is freakin awesome...
isn't she more pop than rock? she has a much softer sound that most rock, though more soft rock then? b/c it's definitly not pop like madonna type thing.
She was/is great. It's stupid how some ppl claim to know a celebrity... to say she never went with boys... maybe she did, maybe she didnt? Who cares. WE appreciate this lady and her talent. So get a life
