This is a great example of the "girl group sound" of the 1960's. I absolutely love this tune as sung by Leslie Gore! This definitely should have been a hit in its day. In fact, my wife and I recently saw Ms. Gore in concert in Pawling, NY, and had the wonderful opportunity to talk with her following the concert. During our brief conversation, I actually cited this particular song as one of my favorites in her catalog. Nice to see her work well represented on YouTube.
Jackie DeShannon wrote this song. A GREAT pairing of composer and singer, I must say. Wish Leslie had the chance to sing more Jackie tunes - I think she handles them much better than Brenda Lee, honestly.
One of my all time favorite songs. Also done excellently by The Cake.

Not sure what the hook is with Leslie's voice but I do know it can be just labeled as " TALENT "
