Leslie Gore Past Away - Bob - 17-02-2015
Leslie Gore past away at the age of 68. To all those who remember Leslie in her prime such as me, she was a wonderful performer.
She had a hit in 1963 with "It's My Party".
She will be missed.
It' My Party

Damned sorry to hear this news. For a lot of women in that era (and some of us guys too), Ms. Gore was female empowerment. She had charge of her career including songs, appearances, etc.--rare, maybe unprecedented for that time--women were merely talent, hirelings for the most part. A strong woman who made great music...on her terms. She did stuff up to the end, most of which I don't find interesting.
Some tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjG8y_fbQpw << I've said/sung this to women--some got it, some didn't.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6KhXo13_H0 << Mid-40's, full-throated, excellent surrounds including rapturous audience--Melbourne folks were blessed that night
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5qOFur8gXs << Wonder how Judy feels now, having lost her man to a gay woman?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT6ndp1WlyA << to my mind, a lesser piece
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3bn8kHMnxk << fascinating later interview, talking about the early days << Did you know Quincy Jones did a lot of work on her records?--explains the exemplary surroundings of them...
BONUS: A "Greatest Hits" disc, entire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y87soTe9Hho
