You Don't Own Me

Quincy Jones sat in the Tenafly, New Jersey den of 16-year-old vocal student Lesley Gore, playing demo after demo, looking for the right song to cut for her first record. Out of over 200 tapes, Jones and Gore had moved only one to the "maybe" pile, and so that song, It's My Party, was recorded on March 30, 1963 in a Manhattan studio. After the session Mercury president Irving Green warned Gore not to get her hopes up, but Gore gratefully told him that it had been a great experience anyway, and it was okay if he didn't want to release it. However, later that evening Jones learned that Phil Spector had just recorded "It's My Party" for The Crystals, so Jones rushed back to the studio to press 100 test copies of the single and immediately mailed them to key radio stations across the country.
A week later, Gore heard her version of "It's My Party" for the first time listening to a New York radio station while riding in a car on the way to school. In a month, the song was #1, fans were camping on her lawn, and Gore was a star. She was a junior in high school. It was Quincy Jones' first hit record as a producer.
A sequel, Judy's Turn to Cry, soon followed, along with a string of teen-girl vignettes like Maybe I Know, She's a Fool, and That's the Way That Boys Are. But tastes were quickly changing in 1963, and what was perhaps Gore's finest song -- You Don't Own Me -- could only reach #2, behind I Want to Hold Your Hand. (Given the complementary themes of the two songs, perhaps they were meant to be together.)
In 1964 Gore was invited to perform on the T.A.M.I. Show, an ambitious concert featuring the Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, the Supremes, and others. Here is Gore's full performance in the movie, but if you click just one link in this post, study her rendition of You Don't Own Me.
This turned out to be Gore's peak, however. Despite the many television and movie offers coming her way, she chose to concentrate on her education, attending Sarah Lawrence College and limiting her public life to weekends and vacations. By the time Gore graduated, the music scene had changed drastically, and she was having a hard time finding an audience. Her last single to reach the Top 20 was California Nights in 1967.
Still, Lesley Gore had 11 Top-40 singles before her 21st birthday, and managed to fit in numerous TV perfomances, including a 1966 perfomance as Pussycat on Batman. Combined with the breadth of her lesser-known material, she is possibly one of the most underrated and misunderstood singers of the Sixties, and in 2005, although she'd never kept it a secret, Gore revealed she was not exactly attracted to boys.

I don't know the last time I got this addicted to a song. I mean, I've heard "You Don't Own Me" before, but I'd never paid any attention to it. The verse is like the audio equivalent of everything Tarantino is going for in his movies. And the chorus is just... well y'all are listening to it. I'm out of superlatives. Great post, again.

Thanks to this post (and my cold medication), in my fevered imagination Quincy Jones & Phil Spector are agents of Order & Chaos (respectively) locked in a war for the soul of Rock & Roll (and humanity) whose chosen field of battle is producing records. I WANT TO SEE THIS TV SHOW!
Other random observations:
Mental Wimp's link to the Rolling Stones on Ready Steady Go--Holy shit, Mick Jagger is just oozing Hot Sex there. Now I kinda see what the big deal was about him in terms of sex appeal.
Joan Jett covering Leslie Gore makes me wonder if they, ever, you know, might have met at some point and, you know, . . . I'll be in my bunk.

Okay, so a long time ago I was working in a summer job at my dad’s place. The accountant, Fred, was perusing the payroll record one day when he suddenly pointed to a name and said, “… and I’ll cry if I want to!” Folks looked at the list, and saw the name that triggered Fred’s outburst: Chris McClarty.

Kudos on a fantastic post. I first heard Gore's Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows when it was used on the soundtrack for Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and I immediately fell in love with the song.
Speaking of which, the French and German versions of "You Don't Own Me" completely reverse the sentiment of the song, turning it into a run of the mill "don't leave me"-type ballad. Her french accent is pretty good, too, so I'm guessing she knew what she was singing. Wonder what she thought about it, though.

For those who have not dipped a toe into the nauseating quagmire that are the Gor novels, the "young x to be young" refrain actually dovetails perfectly with a theme John Norman repeats ad nauseum that the gift of immortality treatment more than makes up for the rest of the crap you go through living on Gor. And the transcendant melody actually reflects the way many real masochists perceive their activities.
And I am so going to Hell for doing this.
And I will haunt you forever if you actually record this and don't credit me.

What a great post! I had no idea that she was Quincy's first. That makes it even more fascinating.
First recording artist that he produced ? Nuh uh. I know from memory alone that is not true. Quincy Jones and His Orchestra were on the labels of several 45s of hers that my brother owned when I was a wee sprite.
And, boy, if you want to put Lesley Gore over the Beatles, that is one thing. But Dinah Washington ? Ha! As if.....
