Leslie Gore died this week, at age 68,
of lung cancer.
She didn't smoke.
At sixteen – sixteen! – she
recorded "It's My Party," produced by Quincy Jones, and she
had many other charting hits, including "Sunshine, Lollipops and
Rainbows," written by Marvin Hamlish, and the anthem "You
Don't Own Me," which spent three weeks at #2 because that was
when the Beatles released "I Want To Hold Your Hand."
