On September 21st, 1963, just a week after Ricky Nelson's record, "Fools Rush In", hit the air waves (9/14/63); Quincy Jones took Lesley back into the studios, along with Claus Ogermann at the helm, arranging and conducting a set of new songs for what would be Lesley's second album- "Lesley Gore Sings Of Mixed-Up Hearts". Among the eleven songs that she would record that day are the now legendary "You Don't Own Me", and the gem/standard featured in this video. With Ogermann's magical arrangement, the song truly sparkles, and at only 17 years of age, Lesley turns a tender and brilliant vocal performance that truly belie her young age at the time. One of my favorite songs by Lesley, I wanted to bring it back into the spotlight and let new fans discover it for the first time.

  • Happy 65th Birthday, Lesley! Your unique voice and music is always a source of delight for me. Your fan always!

  • Beauty and what a singer. A lethal combination. I cant imagine what it must have been being a teenage boy and watching her on television. WOW! Great song. For me. The years from 1959-1963 has to be the best time for the greatest music ever. Thank you for this great song.

    You're right there will never be a time like the 1960's in the U.S. Love the music but the class ceilings and segregation can go else where. Sorry but everyone in that decade was walking around in rose color glasses
