Lesley Gore Release
06/02/05
.
(press release) The most commercially successful solo artist of the "Girl Group" era of the '60s, Lesley Gore quickly set herself apart. With a string of Quincy Jones-produced,
chart-topping hits, including "It's My Party," "Judy's Turn To Cry," and "You Don't Own Me," she introduced the world to a brilliant artist with pop
instincts and an independent spirit that stood out against the formulaic offerings on the radio. A full-fledged star by age 16, her smash hits rang like
anthems for young American women, and pointed the way for future generations of rabble-rousing pop singers from Debbie Harry, to Pat Benatar, to
Madonna, to Gwen Stefani-all of whom remain in her debt. Produced by Blake Morgan, Ever Since is a timeless collection of classic songs placed in a transparent, pin-lit setting that allows her to shine. Included
are re-imagined versions of two Lesley Gore standards, "You Don't Own Me" and the Academy Award-nominated "Out Here On My Own" (from
Fame) Release: June 28th
