it's her party and she'll sing 'cause i love her

today one of my heroes turns 61. happy birfday, leslie gore!!! who knew i would learn all i know about love and boys from a closeted teenybopper lesbian out of the wholesome 60's scene?

sure, you know "it's my party" and "you don't own me." if you've cocked an ear, you might have heard the sequel song to "party," "judy's turn to cry."

but i implore you to look further and check out some of her other hits. i challenge you not to get your beach party on to "the old crowd" and "sunshine lollypops and rainbows" or fly back to the donna reed days (on who's series finale she starred) with "that's the way boys are" and "she's a fool." for those of you who have been hurt by filandering men but held on for love, "maybe i know"is a world of internal pain; "just let me cry" finally gets it out. and look out, nancy sinatra, "hey now" and "off and running" will take your boots for a ride.

hot hot hot enough to play one of catwoman's minons, she sang "california nights" on an episode of BATMAN!!!! how cool is she? how i love her!!!!

okay. gush done. back to work.

play!
