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.

Saddened to hear that. I sing that song quite often and for no particular reason - it’s just been stuck in my head for a few decades. :)
‘Judy’s Turn to Cry’ is a good comeback song!

So sorry to hear this. She was great, and I loved her songs and sound back when I was a teenager.

The 33 year old “partner” is probably in the will.

Wasn’t she also in a couple of “Batman” episodes?

On Wikipedia it says that her song "You Don't Own Me" was second to the Beatles, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand."
I don't know why but I think that is funny.

I liked her music as well, when I was a teenager. 68 seems to be a dangerous age. The ol’ Reaper took a shot at me last summer but he missed, barely.
