Lesley Gore You Don't Own Me (Mono and Stereo) Recorded in 1963 / Released in 1964 Founded on the Album "Sings of Mixed-Up Hearts" (#51) B-Side " Run Bobby Run"
Good song which says a truism, after all, she is a person, not a pet or a thing, so she cannot be owned by anybody. There are so many of us men, who seem to forget that. We may have the company of our mate, but we never own her, even if she is our wife.
You don't own me I'm not just one of your many toys You don't own me Don't say I can't go with other boysAnd don't tell me what to do Don't tell me what to say And please, when I go out with you Don't put me on display 'causeYou don't own me Don't try to change me in any way You don't own me Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stayI don't tell you what to say I don't tell you what to do So just let me be myself That's all I ask of youI'm young and I love to be young I'm free and I love to be free To live my life the way I want To say and do whatever I pleaseAnd don't tell me what to do Oh, don't tell me what to say And please, when I go out with you Don't put me on displayI don't tell you what to say Oh, don't tell you what to do So just let me be myself
The violins really make the song even more beautiful,Imet Miss Gore with my late brother,some time ago,it was one of many highlights,to meet such great singers,God bless them all.

It went to the number 2 spot on the chart February 1964. Kept out of the number one spot by the Beatles. The French version of You Don't Own Me (Je Ne Sais Plus) was released as a single February 1964.
Thanks for uploading these. Personally I think the front and center MONO packs a lot more punch. I don't know if this was released in a stereo version or it's a remaster, but the Mono is a more faithful sound for the era. (I think) I am developing a new appreciation for the Mono tracks.
@stevemichaels2020 Sorry! That was my mistake! Thanks for the correction. I know the French and Italian version :-) I have them on CD, in the 5-CD set from Bear Family. Lesley Gore is a so great Singer, she is my favorite! And thank's for watching!
Maybe the original poster of this video can help me: does Jones not use double-sided vocals in the mono version like he does in stereo? When did stereo come into play and kick mono out of use?
