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

Gore died of cancer at New York University Langone Medical Center in Manhattan, according to her partner of 33 years, Lois Sasson.

So sad. We saw her perform 3 years ago. Very talented and sounded EXACTLY like she did in the 60’s. RIP Lesley.

This is playing in my head, “You don’t own me, I’m not just one of your many toys....”

I like that one, too. (You Don’t Own Me)

I knew about her death, but thanks for the post here. She was very talented, and I just liked her and her music, despite her having some things that could be criticized in her life. RIP, Lesley.

I have yet to run across a hit about a boy-boy relationship or a girl-girl relationship. "My Girl Bill" by Jim Stafford doesn't count.
My Girl Bill, I thought I was the only one who remembers this song! Laughed so hard when I first heard it, I damn near drove off the road ;)

No relation to Al.

RIP.

I don’t know who that is or if you meant to answer me. ???

Not seeing a similarity between Talya Ferro and Ray Taliaferro. They look quite different.
