At 5:17, Lesley is absolutely irresistible. She is only seventeen here, but possesses the poise and presence of a person much older. Even that face, that magnificent face shows a maturity way beyond her adolescent years. She is pure magic and fifty-seven years later, I am still hopelessly in love with Lesley Sue Goldstein.
God, I miss this gal so much. Thank you Lesly for passing thru our life time. May you continue to sing with the angels. Rest In Peace. Your music will live on forever. ❤️
When I was a kid on the ‘60s era I didn’t know English, but I loved listening all those kind of music and I made up lyrics and sang along with the music standing in front of the mirror with spoon 🥄 as a microphone 🎤
Actually, I think you missed it too. Connie Francis was the first female Rock N Roll singer. In was 1958 and she scored gold with "Stupid Cupid." It even topped the charts in England--number 1 on their hit parade. And the hits just kept on keeping on from there. I liked Lesley too, but let's not forget Connie first, Brenda second, and then Lesley came on the scene.
@@celso2843 I was 11 years old the first time I heard her pretty much loved her music,just as good now as it was then didn't know she was gone till l l stumbled across this, l was in love with most of the girl groups. Take care.
They always seem to skip her finest song in my opinion, California Nights. They always keep her stuck in It's My Party mode, just because it's an easy hook for people to remember and sing. It's My Party is almost now a parody of itself.
Thomas Timlin - Agree. My favs were 'California Nights,' 'Maybe I Know' and 'You Don't Own Me.' I think 'It's My Party' and the sequel, 'Judy's Turn To Cry' were bigger hits because they were easier to dance to, lol.
Agree! California Nights is incredible. A lesser known song. The Look Of Love is a simple pop song, i know, but something about it is so charming and gives me little chills! Look how upbeat and delightful Lesley is here all these years later. Love her. She's someone special!
I think it was pretty standard in pop artists' contracts back then (unless they were able to negotiate otherwise) that all costs of recording their record would come out of the artist's cut of the sales profits. So even if the record sold well, it might be a little while before the artist would see any money from it. And if the record didn't do well enough financially to reimburse the "expenses" of recording, the artist would be on the hook to the record company for the balance.
That's WHY all artists should to hire (separate from the record company) THEIR OWN (a) accountant (b) music attorney (c) PR team. Give them a percentage of their income. After her 1st hit Lesley was in a strong bargining position and should have put this team in place. They took FULL advantage of her (as they did so many others) because of this. See her comment here where she says "...and I was one of lucky ones...". I'm glad she fought them and got something. She made millions for them and should have asked for an audit. Ripping off the artist back then was a common occurance because many were young kids and/or didn't know how the music business "worked" and they took FULL advantage (same thing happened to the Beatles) of them @@johndipinto8816

Listen to the talk about how they started singing songs after so many beats etc. Listen, is that not a tribute to the era of music that was, talented people singing & playing instruments with little or no backing . No lip sync , or other mumbo jumbo that they bring out d=today & call 'singing , music or whatever ' What a suburb era to grow up in... wasn't it... Peggy Wood
The music business is positively satanic in its treatment of the talent. Writers must own their compositions, and never sell a controlling interest in them.
I remember Leslie as a girl every boy would love to have as their girlfriend and 1st love because she was my dream girl who I imagined sang to me on late night radio about the boy she loved ! She made you glad you were a teenage boy. I dont think she was a feminist until certain groups influenced her. RIP angel!
@Amoriah Donovan was born in Glasgow, which makes him officially Scottish. His grandmothers may have been Irish, but that would only account for 1/4 Irish blood.

The voice the face the hair whats not to love about this incredible woman Thank you Lesley for so many wonderful memories.
Lesley Gore was a great singer and very Beautiful as well.
When I was a kid I loved leslie Gore, I'm now 69 years old, I still love her
I loved Lesley Gore's music as soon as it came out in the sixties. She left us way too soon. Rest in peace, beautiful lady.
Leslie was a very, very understated performer/singer who held her own against Motown and the Brit's during that competitive mid 60's period.
Its 2022 and i still love Lesley Gore. She died 4 days before my sister was born💔
Cancer takes the best people too fast
A classy lady who left us too soon. RIP Leslie.
Wonderful to see her live Beautiful still have all my 45s
DAmned cancer
6:19 she was expecting *THE* question, wasn't she? 6:24 made my little gay heart skip a beat.
I met Lesley Gore and her brother Micheal Gore, serendipitously, at The Riviera Café in NYC in 1980. Both of them were absolutely charming.
LOL I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
YES! The 'is it true' almost always followed by 'are you gay' 🤣🤣🤣
I started really singing along to her songs when I heard You Don’t Own Me. I love it! ❤💕
I was 11 years old when I fell in love with Leslie Gore, call it my first crush, and she still looks beautiful in 1997.
I’m 22 and I have fallen in love too 😂

Love this interview with Lesley. She was so beautiful. I miss her being in this world.

It wasn't time for you to leave yet, Lesley, and I bet you felt that still, too. :(. We miss you lots and always will!
Once I heard her voice, I was hooked! I bought all the 45's as soon as they came out!
Loved her, loved her songs, now she’s sadly missed.
Lesley Gore was the first rock n roll female singer -- something that writers have missed. She had 25 charted hits.

Lesley...beautiful inside and out! Loved your incredible voice. RIP
Still had your record s lost in house fire before Christmas lost everything home dog and car now homeless still you are my rock
Yes, her perfect flip! It's because of her that my hair is flipped like that in my 1967 senior class picture!
She had amazing eyes!
Love and miss Lesley.
A true angel.
I like California Nights. RIP Lesley Gore
Beautiful eyes
Lovely lady in every way. RIP sweet Angel.
What a terrific lady.
I just found out about Lesley Gore. When she was young, that voice, those eyes.
Imagine growing up and worshipping this woman.I did and it never ended.
@@jerryboucher5622 Yes, she was one of a kind. I could see how a guy could fall in love with her.
What a lovely woman.
She was just great !
So talent!

Your just as beautiful as you was when I saw you 60 years ago for the first time. Take care

How could she possibly owe her record label? Artists had terrible deals in the 60s…

So even if the record sold well, it might be a little while before the artist would see any money from it.

This is why I don't want to be famous they milk you of your talent and don't want to pay you your money.
Wrong...Donovan is Scottish, born in Glasgow. He lives in Ireland now.
It’s my party and I cry if I want to
She was cute
You’re cuter
But she was especially talented and espressive
Crasy about her song will get her album.
Did she get that little house in the south of France?.........
not in her lifetime .. maybe the next one

Thats incredibly untrue I don’t know where you got this information
No,
No, and
No.
Gillian Anderson is the daughter of Rosemary "Posie" Alyce (née Lane).
Gore was never married .. at least not to a man

thomas actually every album after her first has feminist undertones in my opinion. Also, don’t you know she was a lesbian?
Why would two man write you don’t own me ¿
Most songs sung by women... about men... were written by men. Especially in the 60's and 70's.
Read "Strange Scenes Inside The Canyon" for the answer to this.
maybe they were closet gays ??? perhaps ??? Leslie was, but did not advertise it -- it would have killed her career
@@rhuephus I already answered the poster's question above. Don't need an ignorant homophobic comment.
This 66 year old, grew up, in a bubble! CORPORATE GREED, BURST IT!
Just listen and enjoy. These are some of the dumbest statements I ever saw.
Donovan wasn't scottish.
@Christine Wesson Oh he wasn't? What was he then? Be sure to cite your source of info because last I heard, Glasgow is a city in Scotland.
if one is born in Scotland ... that makes one Scottish
oh yeah .. what does Donovan have to do with Leslie Gore ???
@@rhuephus Try actually watching the video from the beginning and reading the info underneath. Question answered.
Donovan is Irish not Scottish
I read he is scottish
@Amoriah Donovan was born in Glasgow, which makes him officially Scottish. His grandmothers may have been Irish, but that would only account for 1/4 Irish blood.
I thought he said "Black music's roots took hold in the 60"s" He should, since we invented rock and we're the reasons whites get anything glorious
Period
I listen to blues from the 20s and 30s, and I hear rock music roots, long before the 60s
wow ... what part of "rock n roll' did YOU invent ???
So you're a racist? Plain and simple. Get your hatred out of your system, playing the dumb race card.
