She had a very tough life. Rough and unhappy for the most part. Being gay during her era was very tough.

@rockville34 You are certainly correct. Dying of breast cancer at a young age was the final blow.

Man when I was 13 I had such a crush on her...puberty started

[catman916]

@buffspringfield Well, no one can blame you.  She was a good looking woman.

Far better than most modern artists. This song is very similar to I wanna hold your hand by the Beatles.

I was in the third grade when this song came out and I have loved it ever since. I grew up listening to this music and I am teaching my grandchildren to love it as well. It is wonderful to see my baby granddaughter start dancing as soon as she hears the song start. It does my heart good.
