Very sad day... Lesley Gore has passed away at 68 years.... I have always enjoyed listening to her.... *sigh* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesley_Gore
Agreed, Xenon. She's gone too soon. Here's a personal favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkXExTweFV4
I remember hearing her songs played on the radio in the early 60's, which would have made her only 16 when she had her first hit (1963). Heck, she was only 5 years older than me........

She was one of my favorites too. I have a couple of her albums, and four or five singles. A real classy lady.
My personal favorite by Leslie Gore is "California Nights" from 1967. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roeAhjkJFNQ
A friend of mine lived in NYC for several years in the 1990s-2000s. He got to know Lesley and said she was a very nice person. Gone too soon.
