One week after performing "It's My Party" at a friend's birthday in
1963, Lesley Gore skyrocketed to the top of the charts and to
superstardom as a sixteen-year old high school student. With producer
Quincy Jones, she followed with "Judy's Turn to Cry," "You Don't Own
Me," "She's a Fool," "That's the Way Boys Are," and "Maybe I Know,"
among many others. The young Lesley set herself apart from other
"Girl Groups" by writing pre-feminist anthems that would point the
way for future generations of rabble-rousing female pop singers from
Pat Benatar to Madonna.

With her 2005 release, "Ever Since," today's Lesley Gore is "out and
proud" and sings with a voice as mature and soulful as it once was
young and brash.

"Luscious-voiced....it's organic, smoky, intimate, and personal."
