Shocked me to find this clip!! I was in the audience that day. A friend did publicity for the Mike Douglas show. Knowing I Iiked Lesley Gore she invited me to the show. Afterward, I got a chance to meet her and her mother. The publicity photo she gave me still hangs in my office. So sad that she died much too soon. Never smoked, but died of lung cancer. Such a bad break.
I was only 3 years old when Leslie Gore made it on to the music scene, but boy how do I remember listening to her on the radio when my mother was cleaning the house. As I grew older I had all her albums and really enjoyed her singing talent. Thanks for posting.
There was a picture on the back of her greatest hits album of Miss Gore spoon feeding her pet poodle. I was 5 years old and fell in love. Beyond that she continues to bring me joy and hope. All these years later.
