[mick50651]

Remember when you got your first AM radio with a monorial earplug?

@mick50651 I got my first transistor radio in 1965 whe I was 3 years old and listened to it in my bed all night long on WTIX ( The Mighty 690AM ) in New Orleans, La.

i do remember her on batman t v show an i liove this song, it's so bubbly and fresh,happy and bounces. man i miss those happy song

[MightySaturn5]

@Moss7373 -its funny how music of the 60's changed as quick as the technology.

In 59' high tech computers still had tubes, by 69' they had perfected the intergrated chip -consequently the music of that same era is identifiable enough to pin down to within a certain 60's time frame.

Basically you had the early 60's sound (60-63) which was a carryover from the late 50's, the early/mid 60's (64 & 65) with that mersey feel with 1966 as a major turning point leading to the late 60's inventiveness

Does anybody remember her singing this on the Batman TV show?? Guess I'm showing my age.

[pkappel006]

yes, I do, I was born 6/6/1952......I'm 57 and remember it well. I would ride my green 3 speed schwin bike along my pape route and sing this tune while delivering my papers........I was 15 and my hormones were racing like any other 15 year old kid's were!!! I would never trade in my teen years for nothing, especially listening to the 60 tunes....Timeless is Lesley Gore.....

Trivia time,trivia time. Do you know who wrote this song and her hit "Sunshine,lollipops and rainbows" Hint: The movie "The sting"

[pkappel006]

no, I simply love this tune & listen to it as often as possible

[jaytf123]

Marvin Hamlish

[pkappel006]

never heard of Marvin, although his songs are great to listen to

[jsbach15]

@pkappel006 Really? Marvin Hamlin wrote the songs for the Broadway smash "A Chorus Line!"

[pkappel006]

[hollyyt53]

I love this song-Lesley did such a great job singing it.

[trevor40]

I love this song--how high did it get on the charts?

[nwfc65]

glad to have this tune back

[rosmia2]

@nwfc65 Don't remember exactly but it's place in the charts was disappointing. I don't think it made it into the top ten. I think it was a shame. It was her last hit
