Back when she was singing - the 60’s - women didn’t have a lot of say in ANYTHING!! Her song was an anthem for us! We were BREAKING OUT!
Yes ! I remember it like it was yesterday. The friction between my mother and me. You can't do that. Oh yes I can. hooo wee !
The women in my family were very outspoken
@@momof1576 My grandmother graduated from Radcliffe in the 20s, and the women who chose to stay home in the 50s were rebelling against family expectation. You're right, the stereotypes are not necessarily true.
In the 50's and 60's my great grandmother owned 3 hair salons. The businesses were in her husband's name because women couldn't have their their own bank accounts yet
Truth, my mother didn't even drive until I was about 10 years old, seems crazy now
"When was this made, in the 80's?"
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Do both. I did.
Ha ha
(I watched color TV myself in the 1960s and wrote the next statement, about it being invented in the 1990s as a JOKE, which I've had to re-explain many times, until I realized I should just come back and edit the original comment I made. Other than what's inside these parentheses, all the rest is as I originally wrote this comment.) Of course, color television wasn't invented until the late 1990s, amazingly just 10 years before the iPhone! ;-)
But, we all make mistakes just as glaring outside our zone, and I don't think he would have argued for that assertion -- it was off the cuff, and I think he would have reconsidered it quickly after very little thought.
I like his authenticity. The music and time times are all new to him, and watching with him is fun in large part because of this. It's like seeing it all for the first time myself, without any presupposed prior knowledge.
Gore's version appears to be from 1963. Our host here wasn't around back then, but women were still largely kept in line with men's stereotypes of them. However, I think this songs speaks to having a relationship with a very demanding man that is a control freak - and they are still around today.
🤣🤣
"Dang Leslie... Who done you wrong!?"
Answer : Society
Don't read modern nonsense into old, great stuff.
It's My Party!
@@cjwehner that was, in fact, the point of her song. To say to society, dont put me in the box of ownership, as property, as just the little woman. I want more then that and I'm going for more then that. That doesn't mean it's an attack on society, just a powerful song, of its time, about what was going on, at that time. I personally dislike when people judge the past on the present, instead of seeing the powerful moments, the great strides, the moves forward that were happening at those times from the perspective of what those times were.
Actually, she’s talking to her boyfriend. Not society
@@gailkshaw, I see it as both. When this song came out it was during the time period known as the "sexual revolution." This was when men and women were seeking freedom from old morals and traditional roles. This "new way of thinking" was of greater significance for women than for men. Men throughout time had been allowed more freedom to "play the field" while women usually were expected to settle down and marry the first guy they could at a still fairly young age (late teens to early 20's). As well as women were viewed as property and not to have views and opinions of their own. In the song the "boyfriend" was obviously from the "old school" way of viewing a woman (while seen as overly controlling by today's standards was viewed somewhat the normal in the past up to that point). By rejecting his control she was also rejecting the traditional role for women put in place by society up until then and therefore to be able to have the freedom to "play the field" and not settle down with the one man. Most of all, to do what women seldom had the chance to do, "live their own life" and pursue what they wanted (up until then college attendance for women was view only as a way to snag a husband and was dropped as soon as mission accomplished).
This girl singing this in the early 60s like this was a huge risk.
Not really. She was pretty boring.
@Hillary's emails to Lorne Not. At all.
Susan Manderson for 1963? Do you not understand that the times were different? It was daring for the times and awesome.
Even dating two boys at one time was enough to keep you from getting into schools, clubs and jobs back then. For shame!
@@MRHG126 Actually, dating wasn't restricted to just one person unless you were going steady and going steady was frowned upon if you were considered too young.
Women couldn't even have a bank account without a man's permission. There's a lot of things we couldn't do even up to the late 70's without a man's permission.
Truth
Arime Willow that’s a lie! My mother was a single mom and had a bank account.
@@teetarquin7012 Operative word: "single". If she'd had a husband, she would have had to have his name on it, or his authorization. For any kind of loan, she would have to have a male family member sign with her. That was our reality. It's very possible that your mom had to have someone vouch for her to get that account. Don't be calling lies on people who lived it.
That was true only for married women. Single women could get credit and loans. Stay single ladies.
@@maryrichards157 This must have been a local thing. What state did you live in? In the West, women had equal rights much earlier than the more Victorian parts of the country. Women in Oregon were free to make contracts and hold property from the 19th century on.
“Who she talking to?”
The Patriarchy!
Hell yes!
He to the double “L” yess.
I told my husband and daughter to play this at my funeral. My final finger to the patriarchy.
Preach girl 🙌🎯
What a bunch of silly nonsense. You'd all be up shit creek without the "patriarchy."
It was the 60s. I'm 70 now, and this song was--a wake up. I will never forget the first time I heard it. It may not seem so now, but it was kinda radical!
I’m with you on that 😅
it definitely still is amazing and a statement for sure!
This song is from 1963. It was a HUGE Hit
She was speaking to the stereotypical boyfriend/husband of the early 1960s.
thats right
Yes
She is talking to the boyfriend who wants to manipulate her like a puppet.
@partyguy35 Yes, but most Americans did not know that at that time. For the teen Rock listener during that era, it was a song about female empowerment, which was very uncommon in music of ANY genre during the early-1960s.
@partyguy35 your point? The SONG was about a boyfriend.
Okay, so here's the story behind the story of this song: Lesley Gore (real name: Lesley Sue Goldstein) was a closeted lesbian. And when she sang about not being told what to say and do, the deeper meaning is that she wanted to come out, but knew she couldn't. (You can look it up. She was in a long-term relationship with another woman for over 30 years.) This was years before gay liberation, and the additional years it took for that to get anywhere near the mainstream.
you're correct
Wow.. didn’t know that. Interesting and sad.
Well that adds another whole level of meaning to the song 😢
Thank you for the edification.
Historian212 I didn’t know that, but it still resonates with me, having grown up in the sixties. And I love this song (although the studio version is more powerful)
"When was this made, in the 80's?"
I'M DYING!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wanted to die when he said that🤦♀️
No, by the 80s we were allowed to kick ass. 😁
I had to laugh too. That hairstyle was definitely early sixties, even if you'd never heard the song before. Reminded me of when I was in grade school and could never get my hair to flip like that, lol.
1967 I think
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
“What do you want me to do... leave you in the car”? Funniest thing I’ve heard this month! 😂
Died laughing when he said that!!!!! Lol!!!!!
😂😂
Same!
His humour is the Chery on the cake of all his reactions!
I died 🤣
Us girls in the 60's LOVED this song. Leslie killed it.
You can say that!
Leslie Gore was 17 when she recorded this.
Woah! I thought she was already in her early 20s. Damn.
Are we as a society aging in reverse then? Because I know plenty of people in their 30s who look younger than her.
Not saying she looks bad, just older than 17
@@ExElliexE In a way we are, I suppose. We know more about how things like smoking and sun exposure age us and have a lot more options for skin care than they did. Not to mention better nutrition and dental care. I look at old family photos and my parents looked like they were in her 30s when they were 18. Look at photos of Elizabeth Taylor and Ritchie Valens at age 17, they look much older.
Wow thats amazing 💗 sounds and looks fabulous!
@@ExElliexE Older generations actually had SOME REAL SH*TTE to deal with, unlike many ppl of today who just complain about anything & everything ... so yes, they did look older bc REAL STRESS AGES YOU ... Enjoy the privileges of today (whilst it lasts) bc so many are trying to drag us back to yesterday when it was ACTUALLY WORSE.
Fun fact: Quincy Jones was responsible for introducing her to the world.
He always had a great eye.
@Jane Lightning and a great ear!
Yes it was 20 years earlier than you thought. Quincy Jones was a young man back then. He was actually 30 when he recorded with her and she hadn't even graduated high school yet.
@@geraldbarras7785 I did not put a date on it. I know he heard her and
was responsible for her first recording "It's my Party". 1963
@@traceycombs3220 I was actually referring to twins (minus 1 lol), sorry for the confusion, when he said he thought was the 80s. I knew you were fully aware of the time period, it was obvious. Good tidbit btw, I didn't think to mention it until I saw you did. For many people Quincy was known as the man producing Michael Jackson's music. Quincy had the best eye for talent I've ever seen. Made himself and the artists household names.
This song took you to school and taught you a lesson! Prior to the woman's movement, women were supposed to be an obedient show piece. Only there to make a man shine.Not allowed to be human. Just a pretty piece of fluff that a man could brag about. It most definitely was a man's world. Don't get me wrong, not all men were as macho and thoughtless as that. However, most were. So try to have a little more respect for your grandmothers. This is what they grew up in.
That’s yelling it straight-The early 60s with her exactly like that. To tell the truth, I think this made our male reactor just a little bit nervous. Good, that’s what the song is supposed to do.
Mona Lisa Smile touches on your well expressed point.
Or our mothers... my mom was born in '42 and I didn't learn till recently how the early credit cards all were with my dad's name or joint names in the beginning
@@elissa3188 - it wasn't till the early 60s that woman were allowed to open a bank account and the 70s to open a bank account or get a credit card without their husband's permission.
I'm in my 60's and my grandmother (born 1909) raised me. She explained to me why she "loved burnt toast." The way she was raised, come meal time, the men (especially at breakfast) were served first (so they could start their work asap), then the children, and then the woman could eat. By the time the lady of the house got to eat she would be getting what everyone else picked over and thus most likely the lesser quality picks were what was left - like the "burnt toast."
Its really cool to see a young man learning about the music that lead us to where we are musically today.
Girls we not even allowed to wear pants to school at this time, I believe.
O
I forgot about not wearing pants! In grade school in the 70's catholic school nooooooo pants!!! Glad things changed. Now i like dresses again
I remember being told we could finally wear trousers (pants) to school in 1989 in England!
Our high school finally allowed girls to wear pants in 1969-70 school year, but only in a pantsuit and the outside temp was 32F or below.
Couldn’t wear pants in public schools until about 1967or 68
I grew up in Akron, OH. Girls couldn't wear pants to school until 1971, except for gym. I was in third grade.
She was a badass to write and sing this in the very early 60s. Women back then were supposed to take care of their man. Wait on him, cook and clean and pretty much kiss his azz. She opened the door for women to be themselves, date who they want and not take crap from a man. Kudos to her
She didn't write it. Two men did. But I remember this song blasting out of my radio when I was 11 years old. Wow. It wasn't just a cool breeze - it was a blast of cold weather from the arctic! Loved it.
She didnt write this but women now show their vagine to the world for 5 bucks a month congratulations
This was 1963 and it was written about the men who treated women like they were property. Yes that was how it was for all women back then. The men pretty much controlled everything in their lives. How they talked, how they dressed how they acted. This was a woman power song and she definitely took a huge risk writing and recording such a song in that time.
The song was written by two men.
She was my cousin..but I never got to meet her. She became famous with this song and "It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To"
Girls against the competition. Judy's turn to cry?
Lou Quincy Jones produced that and it was his first hit I think
Another great song and the sequel, "Judy's Turn to Cry."
Lesley like : “ you don’t own me. You’re not my boss. I’m not your trophy. You best come correct!” A classic women’s empowerment banger!
No it was kind of a fail. Spoiled, rich, American girl trying to sound like she wasn't happy being rich. There's no way that any woman in that outfit and that hair was "empowering" to teenage girls, of which I was one.
@@susantunbridge4612 ah, because women are a homogeneous group, what one thinks we all think. Right?
The fact that this song still resonates decades later speaks for itself, having money and being in a higher social circle didn't protect women from being victims of misogyny. To think otherwise is simplistic and ignorant
theblackkittie13 Preach! Thousands of years of sex based oppression doesn’t disappear because a woman has some cash.
@@susantunbridge4612 I disagree. I was a young girl at the time, and I found this song to be very inspiring.
@@user-ct6hr5nu1q exactly. As an example, there were actresses like Esther Williams, who lost so much of the money that she had earned because her husband gambled it and made bad investments without her knowledge. He had the right to do whatever he wanted to do with her earnings, without her knowledge or permission.
"what am I supposed to do? Leave you in the car?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too funny. Looks like he's gonna have to learn the hard way...
They did leave me in the car. Ha ha.
😅😂😂
She’s saying to this guy to respect her and treat her as he wants to be treated. Leslie Gore is from the early 60s and this was one of the first of many future declarations of independence in song by women, sort of an historic song as well as a catchy tune!
The best part of these oldies is they were singing LIVE!!! No gimmicks just straight up singing into the mic and letting it rip!
This song was a finger to The Patriarchy. It was released in the early 60's when women were expected to be obedient wives, have babies, and that's it. A May 1955 Ladies Home Journal contained an article entitled The Good Wife's Guide. Some great tips include: "Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him" , "Don't complain if he's late home for dinner, or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day." and "Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house, and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him."
Wow, you weren't exagerating. Just wow....alk3r.wordpress.com/2016/10/01/how-to-be-a-good-wife-in-the-1950s/comment-page-1/
In 1967, my Mom was a single parent with an 9 year old; a 7 year old (me) and a 3 year old. She was 32 years old. And was denied a lease in her name, because she was a woman. THIS WAS LEGAL. They told her “well, maybe if you had a checking account.” She tried to get a checking account. She was denied because she was a woman. My GRANDFATHER had to co-sign for her. She was humiliated and furious. She burned her Republican Party card that day, and dropped it off at the GOP office in our town. And she registered Democrat that day. And never looked back. She became an activist, and worked the polls, drove folks to vote, and at one time was her County Democratic chairman. The law finally changed in 1970, due to the actions of women. She kept it up until her death in 2012. She always said “it’s not ALLRepublicans who act this way toward women, but Republicans passed this law. And enough of them let it stand for many many years. So I can never support them, ever again.” The reason my siblings and I are activists is because of our Mom. She also said, “If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.” I’ve never missed voting. Neither have my siblings. Or ANY of OUR kids!! I miss my Mom, every day. RIP dear, wonderful lady.
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 Thanks for sharing this!
It's been a struggle forever . Picture the cave man dragging his woman off by her hair.
There were numerous songs about how women should act. Here is a stanza from “Wives and Lovers”: There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again
Etc. “You Don’t Own Me” was in opposition to that thinking. It was a rarity, for sure.
2:00 lol "What do you want me to do? Leave you in the car?
I literally laughed out loud at that ... !
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best part of the video lol
😂
You said it girl! Love it... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This reaction was hilarious! 😂
Heather Tucker it’s not hilarious it stupid :/
Yeah all he did was make judging faces make the same hand movement's and say who she talkin to. This is dumb. Leslie gore made good music
Tonya Stivers I don’t think he understood gender dynamics of the time.
One of my all time favorite songs. She sang that song with so much attitude which was huge back in the 60's. Love her! To this day I'm free. 45 no children and no man. Just a woman living my life with my feet in the sand. Own my on small business making enough to get by and that's all I ever wanted.
In the 60s women couldn’t get credit without a man to co-sign. Couldn’t get your own car unless you had cash. No birth control.
Even in the late 80's, sometimes you couldn't buy something expensive on a credit card (like a washing machine) until the store called to get your husband's permission.
1916lunt In the ‘60’s we had to quit our jobs when we started to show our pregnant belly.
That was not long enough ago. How is that only 50-60 years ago??
@@mfinchina__117 wtf!!!!
@@valeriemiller2309 And marital rape wasn't a crime in all 50 states until 1993. I remember hearing arguments against it where politicians said it went against a husband's "natural rights."
It’s not about heartbreak it’s about domination and that ship has sailed. God bless Lesley Gore!
An old school Girl Power song that's just as meaningful today as it was then. Unfortunately!
Leslie Gore is my cousin, she's my grandfather's first cousin (I don't know what that makes her to me, twice removed?) I don't think I'd ever seen her at this age before and it's amazing how much she looks like my mother when she was young.
She has a great voice...always thought so....lots of heart and soul from her! She is telling you I am NOT keeping my behind two steps behind ANY man. Tough talk for those days!!! Girl Power. .lol
I can now walk faster than my husband. He doesn't want to walk with me anymore! 🤨
You’re absolutely right that she’s “PREACHING”💜💜💜
There was a cultural revolution going on bro
OH MY WORD...I nearly threw up LAUGHING when you said " What do you want me to do.. leave you in the car ?"
Hahahaha... can't even drink my coffee laughing too hard !!!!!
And the fact that she wasn't and couldn't be out as a Lesbian makes this song even more intense
LMAO “who she talking too?”
I actually appreciate that you don't understand that it wasn't just that one man did her wrong. That's how things just were. It speaks to how far we've come as women thanks to women like her.
When she says don't put me on display, she is saying that she is not just a man's prop. She is her own person with or without a man. Women were not widely viewed that way. Check out the modern remake! I love it 💕
A guilty pleasure from 50+ years ago. This song is OLD!!!!! We're talking about the 60s. It wasn't supposed to be cool to like this - but I did.
You had me cracking up! I found the cure to Corona Virus and it’s you!
I love the twins 👬💯, stay safe
I had the privilege of meeting her and singing with her when I was 17, in 2004. She was a wonderfully sweet and talented woman. Her voice and range were unbelievable!
You are so adorable! I admire your openness to so many different genres of music!
This song was almost a foreign concept in the 60s; most women would not have been thinking in such independent terms back then. Their reason for living was to find "Mr. Right", the man of their dreams, get married, settle down, have children, cook dinner. Hence, such alluring hair-dos! Which, by the way, took literally HOURS to create, and look so natural! Lol!
One of my favorite songs - from the 1960's (not the 1980's LOL)...Lesley Gore...so talented. Great to see you enjoying this oldie! This is a powerful song that speaks to the oppression of women that was so rampant in the 1960's...there are many intelligent comments below regarding this issue. Please read them.
Exactly. Women have been owned since time began and really started breaking free in a big way in the 60's.
Have you considered that women are only 'owned' when they allow themselves to be. Lots of bull being posted on this site. Sounds like Lesley wasn't owned by any man, and certainly can't speak for other women. If a man treats you like this you have the option to leave him, not keep whining about it.
@@25blondie but if you had stood up for yourself you would have been ostracized by the rest of society. Back then a woman could not get credit without her father or husband's permission (they had to co-sign), could not buy a house or even sign any contracts (including a rental lease). Job choices were slim for women. Going to college was mostly seen as a way for women to find a husband (and thus seldom finished if started) - so little was offered in college for women and little financial aid offered other than daddy paying. So to stand up for yourself would have been nearly financially impossible.
Lesley Gore was 60s pop perfection. She is a musical icon.
It's my Party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to...Love it!
This song made a huge impression on this old girl back in the 60s.
Made me determined to walk my own path.
“Ya but, the girl can sing..”.. Is that all ya got? Is THAT ALL YA GOT??! Hell ya, the girl can sing, and the girl can let you know exactly how it is!! 👍
Best comment!!
this song is great for anyone - girl boy or other ; never let anyone control you
“What do you want me to do, leave you in the car?” Brilliant and hilarious! This is best UA-cam channel I’ve found in a long time!! Many thanks...
"Who did you wrong!!!" LOL! Dude, I had to pause this video about 5 times, your reactions were so freaking funny! Keep it up!
Thanks for the belly laugh, hilarious reaction. Ah, just as a rule of thumb if the video is colour it's going to late 70s forward. If it's black and white it will be earlier. If the video is mainly just of performers doing their thing on a stage or studio it's like likely to be 1960s or earlier as story telling and cinematic videos were not shot prior to the 80s from my personal understanding of music history
Oh man I remember when this first came out. Still a good song that still applies. Hon this song is from the 1960s. This was a bit of a revolutionary song back then. This was just before the women's movement.
I was born in 1963 and when the teacher asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up, the girls all said Mommies or nurses or teachers, because that's the only things girls thought they could be.
So that's what she's singing about. What a great song. I'm glad you reviewed it, even if you didn't get it.
When Leslie Gore did this song in like 1964 it was a very brave thing to do.
Everytime he says "this made in the 80's?" it makes me giggle lol! NO this was made in the 60's lol!😎
Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows. California Nights are my favorite songs by Leslie Gore too.
"Don't put me on display when we go out. What do you want me to do? Leave you in the car?" 🤣🤣🤣
"Don't put me on display. OK. What 'chu want me to do...leave you in the car?!". I almost fell over laughing at that reaction! Priceless!
When you hear this, you have to appreciate it's in the 60s..imagine...most women were treated like doormats and unintelligent beings.. ❣️
Absolute rubbish. Most women I knew were not treated like doormats, nor treated unequally. This is a myth created by feminists. I was a kid then, and all my friends mothers were quite happy, and content with life. More so than nowadays.
@@25blondie my mother had to have a written consent from my father to the bank for them to issue her own credit card... Because she wasn't "smart enough" to have one. He had to be responsible for it because he was the "man".
My father always treated my mom with love and respect and they had a wonderful life but he was "in charge".
She always had to ask for "permission" to do anything...
Like gym, for example..
When my dad died my mom did not even know how to use an ATM machine...
He passed away in 2014!
He never treated her badly and she loved him more than life but it wasn't a 50/50 partnership.
He "allowed" her to be rebellious 😏
@@greyhavens9474 I hear what you say, and yes, it was the accepted way in the past that the man was the head of the household. But most women were quite happy and most men didn't take advantage. All I'm saying is the idea that women were like underdogs isn't true, and I know of husbands who's wives left them with the kids in order to set up with another man. I can think of 4 straight away. As for men being 'in charge'. Even today, women to some degree prefer it that way and hate wimps. As for the words to the song. 'Don't say I can't go with other boys'. I'd tell tell him to ditch this conceited, selfish woman. Typical feminist.
The Stepford Wives was written about this era. 1955-1968. There was so much to protest about in the 60s. Vietnam, women's rights, and Martin Luther King with civil rights. Sadly rights on paper doesn't mean rights in real life yet, for some.
When I made my "1960s Soul Sister Songs" playlist, Leslie had to go in there, because this is a soul song song with heart and soul. The studio version is a Quincy Jones arrangement and production.
This was released in 1963 - a song from a teen girl to her boyfriend. That type of control was common then - and unfortunately still happens too often today. I was 13 when it came out and felt every word. That's the kind of message young women needed, and was a harbinger of the feminist movement in it's early days.
It was a big deal for a woman to speak out like this at this time in history.
guys, recommend Dusty Springfield's version of this song, she sings the hell out of it!
LOVE Dusty
I’m a huge Lesley Gore fan. “You Don’t Own Me” is one of my all time favorites. And you are absolutely right. Dusty Springfield sings the heck out of it. I could listen to both of these ladies sing this song day in and day out.
This is all about being a human being
And that
She is more than an empty vessel
Awaiting for validation by someone
Attempting to control her soul.
Peace bro.
She released this song in 1963 and was considered revolutionary at the time.
My mom had the old 45 record of this and Leslie’s big big hit “It’s My Party (and I’ll Cry If I Want To).” I used to listen to all the Leslie Gore and Elvis sings in those old 45s.
This was from the 60s 😂
I’m 14 and I know that
Hehe
Lol. I didn’t know how to react when he asked if it was from the ‘80s. 🤪
Bumble B lmao
Haha!...so funny! 👉😁
You obviously have great parents 😀😀😀
Anne Stewart they didn’t even know this song and they were both born early 70s lmao
Lol the 80s. We had color tv in the 80s! Too cute!
I been listening to Lesley gore! Forever
I love her💖💖💖💖
I thought I had heard every reaction of yours but just came across this one today and loved your reaction. I'm 65 and this was even before my time, I remember this from my older sister's vinyl collection.
You guy’s are my new UA-cam favorite! I love when another generation discovers music greats of the past. I’ve been blessed to meet several past recording artist and Lesley was as sweet in person as she looks on her record covers. Check out Connie Francis the girl singer that paved the way for rock n roll female artists. She was known as having the best “pipes” in the business and recorded in 13 languages. Wether it’s a title song from her movies like “Where the boy’s are”, teenage bubblegum songs like “Stupid Cupid”, the driving A-Go-Go beat of “It’s a different world” to “Al Di La” sung in Italian/English she could deliver!! Runners up were Brenda Lee “little miss dynamite” with her husky voice, Annette Funicello, Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark ect.
Much success!!
Connie Francis was a complete gigantic Dork! She was the exact opposite of Lesley Gore. And do not even put her name in the same sentence as the Fantastic Dusty Springfield. Petula Clark never sang about anything important as far as I know.
"What we supposed to do, leave you in the car?" hahahahahahahahahaha
Genius comedy Gold hey? 🤣🤣🤣 One of my fave reaction channels...
Great song, hit #2 in 1964, still relevant and I LOVED your reaction, so real
Twinsthenewtrend always makes me laugh, but this one had me rollin!!
"Don't put you on display?? Whatchyu want me to leave you in the car?!?" 🤣🤣🤣
This was the early 60s it was quite eye opening
She was the original Amy Winehouse.
Be sure to check out Amy Winehouse.
@cshubs Amen!!Amy Winehouse♥️...I’ve gotta add Patsy Cline’s “if you’ve got leaving on your mind” Definitely telling her man what’s up in that Bangerz
Back to Black by Amy Winehouse
Definitely Amy!
Lol problem is she was absolutely nothing like Amy Winehouse.
One of my favourite oldies... very powerful song. An anthem for youth of any decade. Young, free, able to make their own choices without fear of being forced to do something they don't want to do.
My Jammmmm ! Ty ty 💓. Loved your reaction 💕. Thx for sharing.
Try Grace & Easy G's cover of You Don't Own Me! INSANE!
BTW... In the 50's, 60's boyfriends tried to "Own" their girl. They'd try to control them. It was their right, for she was theirs, no one else's.
Leslie wrote this song to explain, hey... I don't tell you what to do, so don't go telling me what to do, wear, hang out with... Etc. Fabulous song & MAJOR hit in its day, even today. Grace & Easy G covered it. 💞🤙💫
The entire universe literally hates that cover it's such a disgrace too. Lesly gore did an amazing job but Grace and Easy G had to ruin it.
I agree, the Grace cover is an amazing and edgy update.
I think you mean G-Eazy.
*shudder... if there is one song that really didn't need some bloke yabbering over the top of it, this is it!
This song was from the 1960's. Pretty radical for the time.
Grace did a remake of this song a few years ago, and really did this song, and Lesley, justice.
This song came out in 1964. Groundbreaking for its time.
For those young'uns who don't know, Lesley also sang "It's My Party" "Judy's Turn to Cry" and "Maybe I Know.". Big difference between those classic 60s teenybopper songs, and "You Don't Own Me."
This is from '63 /'64 --------after the tragedy of 11/22/63, this song was released. She, was born Lesley Anne Goldstein, a nice NJ Jewish girl, who was signed by Mercury Records, under the direction of one Quincy Jones. -------This song became an anthem. ------------MJL, 75 y/o
this song from 1963 was a huge feminist anthem. Leslie Gore broke the mould.
Re 2:00 She wasn't saying she wants to hide. She's just saying don't show me off like some trophy.
Love mary Mueller's comment ..it's so right on....this song was an anthem for us in the early 60's ...It was big and strong...
This song was popular when I was a teenager. I am 70 now. When this song came out, I loved my boyfriend, who was a cheater. I instantly loved this song, because it said exactly what I wanted to say.You helped me through a lot of bad days. Rest In Peace, Leslie. ❤️🌹❤️
You need to listen to Billie Holiday ...strange fruit. Blow your mind
Man, that will blow anyone’s mind.
very dark and depressing song but also hauntingly beautiful..
And rightfully enrage
I second this. This song always makes me cry.
The Billie Holiday song was about the tragic lynching of a Black man in the South, an entirely different issue.
This was the song that was used to introduce Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad. Since it's pride month as I'm commenting, I think it's important to mention that she was gay, she publicly came out in 2005 (she had dated her long-time girlfriend since at least the '80s) and was an active gay rights activist until her death in 2015. So this is not just a feminist anthem, but one for the wlw out there too!
Remember that LG didn't write this song, and most of what she recorded in those days was the exact opposite in subject matter. (See "It's My Party" for example) Singers in those days were pretty much at the mercy of the producers and labels, who chose what they would sing and how they were packaged. A few years after this she wanted to record "Groovy Kind of Love" but her label wouldn't let her do a song with the word "groovy" in it. Maybe she liked doing this one, maybe she didn't, but it wasn't chosen to reflect her feelings, and certainly not to suggest that she liked girls.
@@OldDunc Nevertheless, the song is intrinsically tied to her, a gay woman, as the original singer. Using this song to introduce a DC character who is bisexual and in a controlling relationship in Suicide Squad is just a fun tongue-in-cheek meta moment for me.
I love lesley gore with my whole heart! Absolutely amazing songs!!
I loved watching this reaction! This is one of my favorite songs of all time. When you said is this video from the 80’s? I almost peed my pants. I loved it.
The 80's??? No, way before then. Judging from the hair, clothes, and picture quality,, it would be the early '60's. Probably '62 or '63
Yes, early 60s. The 80s styles were retro 60s, that's why he made the mistake. Like the hairstyles the women in the B-52s wore.
In the 60's. Leslie also wrote songs. Talented Lady. Ahead of her time.
Historian212 Also wasn’t this song in the movie Dirty Dancing? That was from the 80s, right?
@@marcilk7534 the movie came out in the '80's but it was set in 1963
@@marcilk7534 It was 1963, she was still in high school
For more strong women speaking out about their rights in a time when it could be career suicide, check out "Momma's Got The Pill" by Loretta Lynn. It came out in the 70's and I remember my parents being so upset about it that they swore to never listen to her again.
Lol, he asked if this was made in the 80's. So young. I love his reactions. ☺️
I lovvvve Leslie GoreThe 60s! She can flat sing and for that time she was really ahead of her time. Yes, Quincy made her famous. He’s a freaking genius. Love your reaction!
She was one of the first openly gay glbt personalities of the showbusiness. A great singer
She wasn’t openly gay. She kept it in the closet for a long, looooong time. Many people weren’t aware till she died a few years ago.
Have you listened to Helen Reddy singing “I am Woman”. If you like Lesley Gore, Helen Reddy will blow your mind. Thanks again for your videos!
yes I used to blast it at school football games by a petition table circa 1973 or so for club called Action Coalition for Equality to get equal right for girls school sports teams- I wasnt even a jock. Just alert junior. the football coach mr wilson was real pig sexist against girls and soccer and head of all sports .
60's music is awesome!! Great song and one you can listen to over and over.
Daaang. I never heard this version (just the album version). She was full of vim and vigor. "Don't tell me!" Indeed!
