I love this song!! It’s been forever since I’ve heard this and I instantly remembered the lyrics. My mother had this record and my sister and I would play it on repeat while singing and dancing when we were little girls. This is when my love of music began. ❤❤❤
Thanks for playing this. Brings back memories as a young girl listening to this on my friends record player . Love the old music. You both are so real and positive , love your channel.
Love your reaction, of course I've known the song since the 60's, and my sister had that album. I was lucky to see Lesley at an outdoor concert in 2005, she was wonderful, and sat and signed autographs after the show I got to speak to her for a few moments, she was so kind and lovely. Sadly, we lost her 2015.
I'm gonna add to the list of needing to see a Ray Steven's reaction. He's got a beautiful voice and shows it in 'everything is beautiful' But I want the comedy songs too. 'The Streak" 'Mississippi Squirrel' 'Hello Margaret' Ray has been around a long time. Much love for anything Ray Steven's and extra ♥ for his comedy tracks.
I've always agreed that Leslie sounds like she's singing about something personal in her life, and I think that's why she was so popular in the early 1960s. Her biggest hit, "It's My Party", does seem like she had this sad experience at her birthday party.
Lesley Gore's first three singles hit the R&B chart. It's My Party (#1 Pop; #1 R&B) Judy's Turn To Cry (#5 Pop; #10 R&B) She's A Fool (#5 Pop; #26 R&B) From November 30, 1963, to January 23, 1965, there were no Billboard R&B singles charts. The "Hot R&B Singles" chart was discontinued when Billboard determined it unnecessary due to so much crossover of titles between the R&B and pop charts in light of the rise of Motown. The chart was reinstated as Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles on January 30, 1965. "Maybe I Know" was released in July 1964, and peaked at #14 Pop.

As usual, amother great reaction Shawn & Mel. If y'all want to hear some more rare soul, please check out a guitar player by the name of Little Beaver. He had a big influence on theMiami soul sound back in the late 60s and early 70s. I believe he even played on a few Betty Wright songs as well. A few of my favorites from him are "I'm Losin' the Feeling" and "Joey". Thanks again for all your reactions and making sure good music gets recognized. Take care.
Hope you guys wll continue reacting to her stuff, such as her cover of "got to get you into my life" or her songs such as "won't love you anymore sorry", "cry like a baby" or "with any other girl" among others.
I once got a spanking (I was 12) because Mom called me to dinner while Leslie was singing on tv, and I refused to come to the table until she was finished. If I was just a little bit older, it might have been worth it.
I get so excited when I see and hear you reacting. I have tried to find all the Lesley Gore songs that you have reacted to, and I want to see your rections to other people, too! I think you will introduce me to so many singers! I would love your reactions to:When Yesterday Was Tomorrow by Lesley Gore: ruclips.net/video/-SCoYjliqdQ/видео.html
written by Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry, part of the Aldon music and the famous Brill building sound. They also wrote Leader of the Pack and River Deep Mountain HIgh. Ellie did a demo version you can listen to right here ruclips.net/video/L89KWrvV31c/видео.html
If people had open relationships there wouldn't be all this petty jealousy and anger. Of course the ideal scenario would be to be faithful enough from both sides to never feel the need to fool around on the outside.
I have a suggestion for you. Have you ever heard of Simply Red? He was real big in the '80s To prove I'm not exaggerating try reacting to his song If You Don't Know Me By Now. The symphonic version.
As one O's fan to another, how can you wear a NY Spankies hat? Wish you could have been around to see the O's teams in the 60's with Boog Powel, McNally, Palmer, Brooks and Frank Robinson.
Of course he's been a cheatin if you see most of the girls in the 50s and 60s you be a cheatin to. Only kiddin i only cheated 2 maybe 3 or 8 times. Only kiddin
Leslie’s producer was a young Quincy Jones.
I was so fortunate to have seen her perform in person, she was such a tender soul.
Produced by Quincy Jones and drums by Hal Blaine, both the definition of soul.
Wrecking Crew production?
Nope. Recorded in NYC at Bell Sound. Most likely Gary Chester on drums.
Ahh, Leslie Gore!! Love her. Thanks for another great reaction. You guys are always a pleasure to watch. All the best!!
Always great to hear Leslie. Make me feel young again lol.
May 1964...GREAT stuff!!!
I love this song!! It’s been forever since I’ve heard this and I instantly remembered the lyrics. My mother had this record and my sister and I would play it on repeat while singing and dancing when we were little girls. This is when my love of music began. ❤❤❤

Young and beautiful by elvis....u will love it....
I'm gonna add to the list of needing to see a Ray Steven's reaction. He's got a beautiful voice and shows it in 'everything is beautiful'
But I want the comedy songs too.
'The Streak"
'Mississippi Squirrel'
'Hello Margaret'
Ray has been around a long time. Much love for anything Ray Steven's and extra ♥ for his comedy tracks.
Similar to “She’s a Fool” by Leslie Gore also in 1964.
The late, great Leslie Gore...
Ellie Greenwich is one of the backup singers on Maybe I Know. She did backup vocals on most of Lesley's hits.
Not only she did most of Leslie Gore backing voice she also did backup voice for other female groups of the sixties 👍
I like the harmony with herself. I wish the piano in the middle eight was louder
Leslie Gore my favorite that you review, they don't make that kind of music anymore. That voice, the beat, the melody, just great.
Quincy Jones and Lesley Gore what a great collaboration Q really found her soul with this production
I was 9 years old hearing this on my Dads car radio. Liked it then and still do….memories of my Mom and Dad. 😢
Lesley Gore had such spunk.
Just a footnote,Leslie's early hits were produced by none other than the great Quincy Jones!
Lesley is always a good listen.
Many of the Four Seasons early songs included hand claps.
Boy, can she sing...
Love her. Brings back so many memories
You gotta do Lesley's "Don't Call Me, I'll Call You"

I hope you will react to her singing You've Come Back. Thanks!
More Leslie please!!::
You Don't Own Me
California Nights 💞✌️🙏
Great reaction …. I still love your reaction to “you don’t own me “
Great reaction, good to see you guys back.
Another great one of the same ilk is "Don't Just Stand There by Patty Duke"
Written by Barry Mann & then wife Ellie Greenwich----------Claus Ogermann arranged & Quincy Jones produced. --------------Summer of '64 -----------in Denver, it went to #1 .--------RIP, Lesley Gore ----------------MJL, 76 y/o
Lesley never sang a bad song. All her albums are great.
There was a video of Leslie Gore dancing with Batman and Robin (California Night)
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG- you are back???? I could not be more happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO RAVENS !!!!
The backing high pitch voice is Ellie Greenwich the writer of this song Leslie Gore sang
Hi, new here and I fell in love with you two right off the bat! Thanks for playing this blast from my past! I am a HUGE music fanatic!🥰😘
Thank you so much Jeannie, happy to have you here
Double-tracked lead vocal. Always sounded great on Lesley.
I dug her voice also. Had a string of hits early to mid 60s. Very successful. Had a likeable personality. Very good singer, left us way too soon!
As usual, amother great reaction Shawn & Mel. If y'all want to hear some more rare soul, please check out a guitar player by the name of Little Beaver. He had a big influence on theMiami soul sound back in the late 60s and early 70s. I believe he even played on a few Betty Wright songs as well. A few of my favorites from him are "I'm Losin' the Feeling" and "Joey". Thanks again for all your reactions and making sure good music gets recognized. Take care.
In honor of the passing of Jeff Beck yesterday, may I request his live performance of "A Day In The Life"
Welcome back !!! will always be S&M squad
You should do "You Don't Own Me" by Leslie. Great song.
Hope you guys wll continue reacting to her stuff, such as her cover of "got to get you into my life" or her songs such as "won't love you anymore sorry", "cry like a baby" or "with any other girl" among others.
Welcome back!!!
💞
She definitely was a beautiful catch back then! 😉
She was the voice of teen angst…
Subtle chord sequences to this - & great reaction, as ever.
I once got a spanking (I was 12) because Mom called me to dinner while Leslie was singing on tv, and I refused to come to the table until she was finished. If I was just a little bit older, it might have been worth it.
Shawn and his looks.😂😂😂😂😂
If you like this song you should do California Nights by Lesley Gore a wonderful song.
I get so excited when I see and hear you reacting. I have tried to find all the Lesley Gore songs that you have reacted to, and I want to see your rections to other people, too! I think you will introduce me to so many singers! I would love your reactions to:When Yesterday Was Tomorrow by Lesley Gore: ruclips.net/video/-SCoYjliqdQ/видео.html
# 14 Billboard 1964
Can you guys react to Everyone's Gone to the Moon by Jonathan King. Beautiful song from 1965. Love your channel.
It doesn't matter but it's no secret Leslie wasn't interested in boys in real life but she sang about them which made her very popular.
written by Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry, part of the Aldon music and the famous Brill building sound. They also wrote Leader of the Pack and River Deep Mountain HIgh. Ellie did a demo version you can listen to right here ruclips.net/video/L89KWrvV31c/видео.html
you can bloody well leave his *ss, leslie, thats what you can do...her "california nights" is well worth a reaction, guys.
Y’all should listen to her song California Nights
Try the ALLMAN BROS BAND OR WIDESPREAD PANIC!! THEY HAVE SOME GREAT ROCK SONGS THAT ARE DEEP AS WELL!!!
Love the reactions Give Randy Crawford a try 👍
White, Jewish, lesbian girl… She crossed over just a bit once in a bit to the R&B charts… I LOVE HER…
If people had open relationships there wouldn't be all this petty jealousy and anger. Of course the ideal scenario would be to be faithful enough from both sides to never feel the need to fool around on the outside.
Lesley's French version of Maybe I Know: ruclips.net/video/_W2Hoz06N8c/видео.html
Quincy Jones brought the soul out of her.
I have a suggestion for you. Have you ever heard of Simply Red? He was real big in the '80s To prove I'm not exaggerating try reacting to his song If You Don't Know Me By Now. The symphonic version.
you need to listen "Monik cover" from Perú :3
SUMMER OF '64. WRITTEN & ARRANGED, BY THE HUSBAND & WIFE TEAM OF JEFF BARRY & ELLIE GREENWICH. --------PRODUCED BY QUINCY JONES. -------------MJL, 77
As one O's fan to another, how can you wear a NY Spankies hat? Wish you could have been around to see the O's teams in the 60's with Boog Powel, McNally, Palmer, Brooks and Frank Robinson.
SHE WAS ONLY A TEENAGER WHEN SHE GOT BIG
Explore Foxxyy Brown... No One's, I'll Be w Jay Z (all 1996). Most underrated female rapper....insane lyrics/flow/voice😇😇😇
Quincy Jones production.
Read her biography, she was gay I did not know it was the 1960s
How about some Ketty Lester?

Letters
Of course he's been a cheatin if you see most of the girls in the 50s and 60s you be a cheatin to. Only kiddin i only cheated 2 maybe 3 or 8 times. Only kiddin
