Leslie Gore has a beautiful voice!



[doowopwayne51]

I know I've said it before but I've gotta say what a stunning girl with an equally stunning voice!!.She sums-up that era perfectly!!!!

[HeyItsDylanAndDaria]

she's only 17 here....this is real music

[whhswhhs]

Sounds like live singing over the studio track. Great posting...thanks!

[PoliticsStudent]

The best lesbian singer ever.

[lasktguy]

@PoliticsStudent I don't know. Melissa Etheridge is a hell of a good singer too.

[scdevon]

She looks fantastic in this clip. Wow.

[JohnnyGNV]

Had such a crush on her....and this was a giant Hit record for her and I saved my allowance up to buy it - gimme a break I was only eight.

[sferrell1000]

In 2001, the museum I was working at had a benefit concert here in Cleveland. She was one of the performers. I had the pleasure of meeting her at a reception. Very charming, very down to earth. It was an auto museum. She asked me questions about our cars. A delight. A true lady.

[alangary1963]

Lesley Gore was the first pop artist Quincy Jones produced. They're still good friends to this day. You may notice how well al of her songs from the sixties sound given the technology then.

[Crosbylover8787]

I'm 21 and I've listened to oldies my whole life and love them. Whoa Oh ohhhhhhhh she's a fool!

[nevilleblackphoto]

What a babe.

[keirosgirl]

i love her..not only is she beautiful but her songs really touch you

[CBMXX]

excellent

[ELLADOGZ]

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!



[Houdini774]

She's so beautiful. Has bitchin' set of pipes too!

[carlhopkinson]

She looks like an angel with a real personality and intelligence....what happened to America that this is so hard to find now.....time for a Renaissance....

[carlhopkinson]

very powerful and pure voice

[eyezpopmusic]

she is one of the few american artists to have hits around this time bc of the british invasion :-) she has soul and is deserving of that i love her, and im proud to listen to her music bc she was not a rasict like most of those artosts back then, love you lesly gore love you sooo much (((((BIG HUG)))))

[Unim6]

I've never seen someone THAT perfect! :)

[ThatsMrPumpkinhead2U]

I can't help it. I just love her. : ) .

[1958ghostboy]

QUEEN OF ROCK AND ROLL



[mikelandislive]

Stunning.

[mkl62]

A Top 5 hit for Lesley Gore in December 1963. It also hit #26 on the Rhythm & Blues charts. By this time, Billboard had ceased publication of the R&B charts. They would resurrect it in January 1965. My guess is this hit was on that chart when publication ceased. And the music world was fixing to get ROCKED! (The British are coming).

[09bnunez]

wouldnt give her fans and autograph,,,,,, one of my friends met her her mothers said no autograph

[PenWriter21]

This is my favorite of Lesley Gore. I just love her voice. This song describes a situation I had hahaha

[jeff62rey]

I was a senior in '63-64 and had such an aweful puppy love crush on Leslie. What made it really bad was that she grew up only 13 miles away from us. I used to drive Mom and Dad nuts whenever this song came on the radio. My lil' sis taunted me to no end about it also.

[tommigs]

Everything you hear today is regurgitated stuff from the 60s which is actually modified stuff from the big band era. This is oversimplified but this stuff is really a lot better than the new stuff IMO.

[dukendetroit]

This woman is really beautifull.

[TheWildOne10]

My favorite!!!!!

[KontaktConsulting]

again a beautiful song..

[hawkman672]

beautiuful song those were the days real music

[lexlorenz]

anybody knows the chords to this song??

[aaronsny]

Sadly enough " they " do not produce this magnicifent kind of singers any longer .

Lesleys talent will never be forgotten - as a gifted godess she will be eternal and we - the worshippers will buy her cds for the next decades ! She deserves it !

[sj5611]

A truly beautiful & talented person! Billy48us

[Freyja1133]

Can early rock& roll be brought into a newer genre?

I;d love to bring its sound in to power metal

[john59327541]

i love her i still listen to her music to day and i am 52 years old i listen to her music back in the 60s

[leeschubkegel]

Just LOVE her. At 56 years old I had older sis, listened to all her songs.

[Radioatividade1000]

Linda!

[tychaton08]

Merci!

[327caprice]

Her makeup is FLAWLESS! Love you girlfriend!

[09bnunez]

BRENDA LEE THE TEEN QUEEN OF THE 60S....I WAS A TEEN IN THE 60S......

[DazBoots88]

what do you think she is looking at?

[Freyja1133]

Can anyone else hear this as a girl group song ?

Maybe an angels or a pixies three song?

Curious

[kypoppa]

i wonder if she was eating cooter back then too?

[ItsMrPumpkinhead2U]

@kypoppa grow up for gawd sakes

[ItsMrPumpkinhead2U]

@kypoppa Cooter? Are you an ignorant southern redneck?

[auaiao9]

@ItsMrPumpkinhead2U I live in the south and we're not all rednecks. I get tired of hearing that from people who don't live in this part of the country.

[ItsMrPumpkinhead2U]

@kypoppa Nothing wrong with that. Women.......mmmmmmm.

What the hell is your problem?

[ItsMrPumpkinhead2U]

@kypoppa You must be jealous because you can't get any, except your sister or Mama. Inbred creep.

[Freyja1133]

@ItsMrPumpkinhead2U Watch what you say about other people.....

For the same can be said about you

[auaiao9]

@Freyja1133 Mr. Pumpkinhead spit his fire then closed his account. Typical of a true coward.

[Freyja1133]

@auaiao9 Obviously

[Freyja1133]

Obviously

[ItsMrPumpkinhead2U]

@kypoppa How many hit records have you made? 0. I thought so, loser..

[ncklbckrlz]

Would love to hear voices today that could match this purity and honesty.

[Freyja1133]

This is my favorite Lesley Gore Song

[rgolaf]

Always liked Lesley Gore, and more now with the influx of improper English, plastic boobs, violence and crotch-grabbing pedophiles. Her stage presence and music are refreshing to see and wonderful to hear. Wish better videos were available.......

[BeezerTwo]

Lesley Sue Goldstein NOT Lesley Ann Goldstein

[YOU2UUB]

The Queen of Pop in her era leslie ann goldstein aka leslie gore.

[smokelean]

great pitch and superb tone

[ppaulmorris]

I have this excellent L.P. of hers.

[SandySummers]

Lesley in '63 & '64 was probably only #2 to Annette. Annette was leading lady in many movies.  Lesley was a close 2nd. Lesley had it all. Which tv show is this clip from?

[abj99861]

One of the really cool songs that I had forgotten about...does anyone have a good quality Original they can post...thanks for making me remember what it was like to be 14 and in love!!!

[mikey8301]

my frirst crush 

[tumsabai1]

@mikey8301

Agent Scully of the X-files TV series in a Lesley Gore look-a-like.

[shmuli9]

@tumsabai1 Indeed! I noticed this way back in 1996 or so (and told my friends, and found out they were having 'Gorefests' - parties where they played Lesley Gore records - I had no idea that THEY liked her, and they had no idea that *I* liked her). Gillian Anderson and Lesley Gore looked VERY much alike. Kylie Minogue has this song called "It's a Feeling', and it's SUCH a Lesley Gore kind of song...

[babbitsmom]

@tumsabai1 Wierd, you're right! I never noticed that before.

[Wolfsky9]

I had such a crush on this drop-dead cute girl from NJ ! What a voice she had. Wolfsky9

[Trojanbabe88]

AH! Why can't talent come packaged today like it was in Lesley Gore and many of her contemporaries?

[preciousjey]

but she's a fool, she has his love but treats him cruel

[michaelflorida48]

yes what a difference from the skanks that sing today......

[misscaitlinh]

@michaelflorida48 HA! Skanks do make the world turn though.

[DIVADALI]

rien à voir avec la version de Petula Clark qui est plus musclée et rythmée, 

[lorrainegate]

I love these trips down memory lane...

Thank you!!!

[bbmonte]

great eyes!

[fanforever65]

This is from the mid 60"s not the 50's.

Before the British invasion.

Such a great talent and more.

sc in dallas, tx

[57highland]

@fanforever65 -- To be exact, this song came out in October 1963.

[preciousjey]

gotta love those silent claps

[fanforever65]

I had this same hairdo in the 60's. Love the look. Great talent. Keep on singing for us Lesley.

You are my favorite performer.

sc in Dallas

[AlexZDec]

Wow. She's gorgeous....... great song too :)

[barefoot56]

I will always have an eternal crush on Lesley

[ItsMrPumpkinhead2U]

@barefoot56  Me too!

[zhg0507]

My God, she's breathtaking....

[preciousjey]

every one get a copy of the TAMI show she sings live impeccably. live is the best cuz singers can change notes like here

[rlaflash50]

We need music like that now a days back to the 50's. Rcl millbury , Mass.

[fanforever65]

Now i know why I loved you from the being, when i first heard and saw you.

Thanks for coming out. I totally connect with your lifestyle.

Keep rocking for us.

[duchesseagle404]

look she is so classy not like the dancing monkeys of today when they do a concert.......

amazing

[misfitwitch]

1975 my mom was transfering all their reel to reel music to cassettes. I heard this song and I apparently couldn't get enough of it. I was 3 yrs old. I have a cassette she let me make after showing me what buttons to push, of me singing this OVER AND OVER AND OVER again in my Bob Dylan drawl. I didn't know all the lyrics in the begining, but by the last take, I had em all. Its so funny to listen to it today. I still LOVE this song.

[MiyahSummer]

I had no idea that she lives like that.

[preciousjey]

damm heard it again on the radio love it. clap clap

[preciousjey]

love this song. heard the ending on tv radio the other night. lyrics can't compare today

[pzilla98]

[RAPOUNET]

Ecoutez la version Française,très rapide de Pet Clark(Entre nous,il est fou). Un pur bonheur!!

[OLdies1960s]

Amazing Voice !!!

[Wolfsky9]

This song is even better in person with Lesley singing!! From Fall'63, a true Teen Masterpice; I was 17 y/o, a Senior, & I had such a crush on this petite girl from Tenafly, NJ. ! The Memories are forever!. Wolfsky9

[preciousjey]

[preciousjey]

[lemaranta]

[gabrielle931]

Thanks for posting this beauti ful son by Lesley Gore, loveit.

[preciousjey]

i miss the it's my party medley before this

[tjthump]

Lesley Gore is hot and she has a beautiful voice.

[LesbianVampireLover]

Remember when she was on "Batman"?  She was one of Catwoman's cohorts. (Cat girl?)

[lasktguy]

LesbianVamp, in Batman her name was Pussycat.

[HostileHippie]

Why did so many neg lasktguy? He was just answering LesbianVampireLover's question :-(

[adamcontrerasable]

I like lesley gore songs.

[aerobutton]

lesley gore looked so gorgeous

[1969blackhorse]

what a fox

[trenodia86]

Lesley is wonderful!! There is an italian version of this song called "Sciocca",performed by Caterina Caselli.

[stevemichaels2020]

Petula Clark does a French version of this song.

[trenodia86]

Yes I know:-)

[diceroller1982]

She was so beautiful:)

[buddyholly48]

Is this performance available on any of the Ed Sullivan videos? If so which one?

[preciousjey]

announcement the medley of this song with it's my party was taken off

[keefek]

Lesley's songs are classics of her era, particularly "You Don't Own Me."

And, the hair spray question: Everybody used cans and cans of it at the time!

(Later, the 80s hair bands resurrected this Aqua Net trend.)

[6motion6]

I like most of Lesley Gore's hits. Although this has nothing to do with her music, I must ask the question: How many cans of hairspray died for her flip?

[lasktguy]

Motion, that's funny. My sister had the exact same hairstyle in high school and I remember her spraying the hell out of her hair with the hair spray. The whole bathroom was covered with sticky stuff after she was done.

[6motion6]

Glad you enjoyed my comment. Not sure how old you are, but I was 11 when this song came out. I always recall this female teen hair-do style although never liked it enough to wear it myself. I think most of the hair spray crowd are still alive, so they must have survived the mist. Back then, I think it was still ok to put flurocarbons in spray cans, so the survival stories are ones of triump

[haha2ur2mom]

@lasktguy LMAO

[JohnnyGNV]

HEY THANK you for posting this rare clip of LESLEY GORE singing a short but sweet version of her big Hit (one of many)

"She's a Fool" ~ I love Lesley and I know I echo the sentiments of her many fans - she's great to this day!

[pureshooters]

lesley gore is solid.

[sweetcandy543]

i hate lesley gore (she sucks)

[stevemichaels2020]

Great Ed Sullivan Show performance by Lesley. What happened to the first part of this medley..It's My Party?

[mbeeskey]

Great song and its still really cool that shes a fool.

[phanou974]

i love her hair, she looks like a princess...

The perfect girl of the early 60s

[57highland]

She was the 3rd youngest female artist (just turned 17) to have a #1 hit ("It's My Party"). The youngest, Little Peggy March, was 15 and a few months when she had "I Will Follow Him" coincidentally just a few months before "It's My Party". The 2nd youngest was Brenda Lee in 1960 with "I'm Sorry". She was 15 and a half.

[sweetcandy543]

she looks stupid
