I "grew up" listening to Lesley, though I am quite a bit older, and her tunes were grand fun. she was too cute for words... Sorry she's gone... and too young at that...

Singer-songwriter Lesley Gore, who topped the charts in 1963 at age 16 with her epic song of teenage angst, "It's My Party," and followed it up with the hits "Judy's Turn to Cry," and the feminist anthem "You Don't Own Me," died Monday. She was 68.

Gore died of lung cancer at New York University Langone Medical Center in Manhattan,

Tangor, how much older than she are you? :)

I was in the 8th grade when "It's My Party" came out. Between her and Little Peggy March (I Will Follow Him) there was just too much cuteness going around.

I may have been in first grade when the song came out, but catchy tunes seem to stick in your head. So you do not have to be an old fart to remember ;)

Old enough she was "jailbait" :)

The world was a different place back then, at least in song.
