Masterfully produced by Quincy Jones, the only reason Lesley didn't take this to #1 in January of 1964 was the Beatles recording of "I Want To Hold Your Hand". The song stayed at #2 for three weeks that month, but it firmly established Lesley Gore in the hearts of every teenage girl in America with its anti-possessive theme.

Still a great performer. "You Don't Own Me" was ahead of its time.

@nertamid Of course, at the time Quincy was still a rising production star, but Lesley's recordings were so masterfully produced, it should have been obvious to anyone what a talent he was. Now that you've heard this, have a listen to the rhythm track he produced for her on "Maybe I Know" (which I have also posted to YouTube).
