The Party's Over...

RIP Leslie Gore, 68.

Quote:

NEW YORK (AP) - Singer-songwriter Lesley Gore, who topped the charts in 1963 at age 16 with her epic song of teenage angst, "It's My Party," and followed it up with the hits "Judy's Turn to Cry," and the feminist anthem "You Don't Own Me," died Monday. She was 68.
Gore, a nonsmoker, died of lung cancer at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan, according to her partner of 33 years, Lois Sasson.

Did some video with her years ago when VH-1 was just starting up and found her to be a class act all the way. We shot a segment with her a her apartment on the Upper West Side and she was truly a nice person. a friend worked with her on a project about Empowerment if Women and said the same thing.

Truly a class act. Too bad she wasnt more in the public eye.
