Fantastic job. Not hesitant in the least to add her own touch, while combining these two classics. She was so good at doing what she did, one just knows she would do more than just pull it off. Remarkable!
@@differentbrandobeans3255 She had decided to go to college to not solely base her existence on the music, industry. It was during college, they released her. She later went back into music and wrote music with her brother for the Movie, Fame. Quit acting like today’s snowflakes. Her life, was her business.
For Mercury Records, it was all about profits. After Quincy left Mercury, Lesley was handed from one producer to another to revive her career. Nothing worked so Mercury dropped her from the label.
This is incredible! So rare to see Lesley during this time period. Her last hit was California Nights 3 years prior to this appearance on Ed Sullivan. She looks fantastic, as always. Such a great talent.
She deserved to have more hits after CALIFORNIA NIGHTS but music was changing rapidly and the pop charts were being dominated by harder rock sounds unfortunately - Lesley got 'cornered' into that "it's my party" girl kind of image that was hard to shake - Being a most devoted fan, I bought all her records even after she wasn't having Big hits although I don't really think it was a strategic career move to go over to "Crewe Records" and while I enjoyed her Mowest LP SOMEPLACE ELSE NOW it didn't see robust record sales. I really thought that a couple of years later when she did the A&M album that featured "Immortality" that it would produce a hit, but it didn't really - I was always hoping that Lesley would have a comeback Hit but it somehow eluded her - however, she did have loyal fans and did great on the concert tours -
@@JohnnyGNV Radio would not promote any of her new releases after 1967. She virtually disappeared from radio after 1967. I never heard from her again until she was nominated in 1980 for writing Out Here On My Own for Fame. 1967's California Nights was really her last gasp at stardom. I did run into Lesley in 1980 at a restaurant. She was rude and seemingly bitter and so I never approached her again although she often frequented the restaurant that I worked at in 1980.
@@JohnnyGNV I agree, she deserved more hits, however Mercury could not find the right producers/material for Lesley. True, Someplace Else Now was not a big seller for her mostly for lack of promotion and I think because the buying public didn't want to see Lesley "grow up" and away from It's My Party. Lesley went to Crewe Records as she had some success with him at Mercury Records. She had stated he was a great producer, but not very good at business. His company went bankrupt and Lesley was again without a label.
I almost didn't recognize her I always thought she was pretty but she looks drop dead gorgeous and she's not overly made up and didn't she sing her ass off
Finally!!!!! After decades of looking for this video. I saw it at that time and haven't seen it since until now some 50 years later. This shows Lesley at her very best....she was so incredible and performances like this should have had her at the top of the music industry....what a travestry....she was robbed
Love Lesley Gore. She always gave her very best in her performances. And God, her eyes were mesmerising. Thanks for sharing this rare gem of a performance.
I adored Lesley, can't stand that she is gone - saw her many times in concert - she was astonishingly underrated as a singer and performer in the Music world. I actually remember this appearance as a kid when by this time we finally had a Color TV and I loved Lesley's eyes in color -
Always one of my favorite artists. Such a pure, dulcet voice. I saw her in concert in San Francisco in 2004 when she was promoting her new release. She was wonderful, and I got to meet her after the performance. She was a great person, very down to earth and warm, and meeting her was a real thrill! Really love this video--she sounds incredible, and I like the contrast between the two songs. Inspired choice!
Hey there I'm part BR and know all of her songs...I could give you rec's...for example..."got to get you into my life", "take good care of my heart", "you've come back" and "any other girl".
I have found others criticizing the "odd" choice of songs. I think it is marvelous! It takes a song , such as "Cry Me a River," full of angst, and as all humans do, the "other" voice in their head, takes a sad song and makes it better. The possibilities are endless for the situation--the person could actually be remembering some of the good times with the person, , or even the possibility of the person to be. I LOVE the way she does not break character as the person singing each song, but (especially the one singing "Cry Me a River," turns and listens to the other one singing "Hey Jude." It is so simple , yet complicated--a fantastic pairing of songs. This is one "mashup" of songs that she did for years. I saw her do it in person in 1974. Of course, she did not have the advantage of the crafty camera work, which helped separate the two emotions better. I love how she never loses her smile on "Hey Jude."
I never realised that I actually knew all the songs she’s sung and performed but I had no idea that she was the mastermind behind all these classics!!!
Lesley recorded a studio version of "Cry Me A River/Hey Jude" which was never released. This was around the time she signed with Bob Crewe's label, Crewe Records. Sure would be nice it the recording were to be released, wouldn't it?
Yes, this was around the brief time she was with CREWE Records but I did not know she recorded this - maybe I did know at one time (?) and did she not sing this "medley" on her "LESLEY IN LOVE" WPIX-TV Special? Yes it would be great if it could somehow be released -
Oh yes she was often on night time talk shows and variety shows singing pop songs of the day, it's just that hit records started to elude her because music was getting harder-edged and Lesley was regarded as representing a more innocent time -
@@JohnnyGNV The problem was that Lesley was being pigeon-holed as the 60s pop singer even though she could do so much more. She was even singing soul music. Two songs I'll Be Standing By and Take Good Care (Of My Heart) sound like they were songs from the 70s even though they were recorded in 1968. Mercury thought the songs didn't fit her image, and so they were not played. She was singing jazz before she was even discovered. It was a jazz demo that got her hooked up with Mercury Records and Quincy Jones.
Always thought she was stunning she was one that looked different in a lot of photos because she had so many different looks she went for but she always pulled them off. :)
She had such a fantastic voice. Lesley deserved a long successful career as an A list artist.
Facts.
Yeah what went wrong she had the beauty...probably because she came out it ended her career
@@feliciaboston6365 ? she didn´t came out until the 2000's
... and a beautyfull Songweiter!!!
@@feliciaboston6365 She came out in 2005. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Wow. I've never seen her singing live at this age. The clarity in her tone was always so beautiful - she was just so gorgeous.
Lesley was 23 in this video. (Born May 2, 1946)
Fantastic job. Not hesitant in the least to add her own touch, while combining these two classics. She was so good at doing what she did, one just knows she would do more than just pull it off. Remarkable!
@@stevemichaelsmichaels4646 she always seemed older then her age damn I wish bcs I'm 17 looking like a 13 year old
She looks 35@@stevemichaelsmichaels4646
@@Noiee_suspiriumyeah that was the makeup and hairstyle
Wow!! Lesley did a fantastic job of blending these two songs together. I wish she had recorded this!!
It was interesting. I think she was soon graduating college.
Always loved Leslie as a kid in the 60s. Her eyes were always beautiful along with her voice.
She had such a unique style and voice. Absolutely phenomenal, she didn't deserve to be tossed out by her record label the way she was.
She was lesbian that’s why

Always loved Lesley's voice and her beautiful face too!
Bellísima.
Es un Angel.
This is one of Lesley's BEST performances!
My first crush.Gorgeous ,
incredible singer, beautiful eyes...❤
Those two songs actually blended well together. She pulled it off with a great vocal and a tasteful musical accompaniment.
She was soooo beautiful. I can’t get over her
Interesting medley sung with lots of Gore magic. She not only had a great voice but a unique sound. Love her.

Gore is gorgeous!
I forgot how incredibly beautiful she was!!! R.I.P. Lesley!
she is just beautiful!! what a voice!!
She looks so beautiful here, and of course sounds amazing
absolutely fantastic.
Magistral.
Majestic.
Bella, bellísima.
Never appreciated how beautiful her eyes were until I saw her in a color clip.
But especially her voice
Oh, what a voice! What a gift!
Oh thank you... I have wanted to see this performance pretty much my whole life
Seamless editing at a time when the video equipment was a lot bigger and still gaining in sophistication. Solid performance by Ms. Gore.
Absolutely beautiful voice
Some of the notes she hits are unreal
Lesley was so pretty here!💗
Loved her!! Amazing performance!! Great voice!!
So beautiful, full beautiful.
La he convertido en parte de Mi Soundtrack de mí vida.
How beautiful Pouporri of this charming singer from the good times of beautiful music like the ones sung by her.
Absolutley beautiful. Such a talent
Great performance!
She was only 24 years old here 😍
Lesley did another medley on Ed Sullivan: I Could Have Danced All Night/Natural Woman. Fantastic performance!
Perfection..........seamless perfection.
See never stopped making music. Thank you Lesley.
She was talented, beautiful & classy. A true star in every sense of the word. ❣️ Very sad she is no longer with us. 😞
This was so interesting and so well done! What a nice surprise to see something from Lesley I had never seen before. She's superb!
And artists today think they invented the music mash-ups 😁 😁 this was lovely!
We used to call them medleys ;))
Nobody ever said that lol
Nobody think that, lol
Why the fuck do people just make up random ass narratives? You’re the type of person that lies for no reason in every day life.
Love this. She was such a beauty.
Such a beautiful person with a lovely voice 💗
This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to internet I’m discovering her in 2021 in Brazil 👏👏👏👏 she is amazing
Yes, Sí!!! Es bella, una genio, una voz privilegiada, muy linda.
That's what's great about YT. These moments can be discovered by a new generation.

Cant be better. Thats for sure.. Sweden waves for Lesley. Rest in peace!
*I wish I could experience the 1960s' vibe on a long drive with this song playing in the background.😌*

Damned cancer

Check out her demos.
Her jazz singing was outstanding, and she was only 16 at the time.

Qué maravilla de mashup! Actuación impecable.
Descansa en paz Lesley
She was always cute!
Im just 13 years old but i always listen to her even though its not popular on this generation her voice is amazing
Bs
I understand completely :) I‘m 20 now but habe always preferred that kind of music over everything contemporary. Let’s be the ones to keep it alive❤️
Masterpiece ❤️✌️
Wonderful. She looks and sings great.
What a voice!!
Majestic....magistral.
Bella mujer y una voz sorprendente.
Amazing. Increíble.
This is my comfort video.

An amazing voice. Always solid!
Amazing how she can keep in the Same Song ! I love this !! ❤❤😊

We need to ask Dan Crewe, Bob’s brother. He probably inherited all of Bob’s work. I think he lives in Scarborough Maine
Oddest pairing of tunes I've ever heard, but she does really well with this!
She was a vanguard , like others like Petula Clark, Joni James, Judith Durhan, Spanky And Our Gang. Big kiss.
Good covers Lesley.
Lesley is so Beautiful
Wow she was amazing and looks absolutely stunningly beautiful !! Wow !
Hey, please, this in spotify
This is very nice. Besides her singing, her hair and clothes are great here.
Lesley at her best. Live and entertaining.
