Тексты песен Leslie Gore
Информация о артисте
Лесли Гор (Лесли Сью Голдстайн, Lesley Gore) - родилась 2 мая 1946 года в Бруклине, Нью-Йорк, США. Известность ей принёс хит "It's My Party" который она исполнила в 16 лет. После исполнения этой песни Лесли стала одним из самых знаменитых подростковых поп исполнителей. Перед ней стоял выбор: телешоу и съёмки в кино или учёба. Свой выбор она сделала в пользу учёбы. Однако для Лесли это не помешало быть одной из самых популярных исполнителей Соединенных Штатов на протяжении середины шестидесятых.
Демо-запись Лесли привлекла внимание босса Mercury Records Ирвинга Грина. Прежде чем записать именно “It’s My Party”, продюсер Куинси Джонс перебрал более 200 демо, а уже через несколько дней после записи Лесли Гор услышала свой голос по радио. Первый сингл стал ее единственным Номером 1. Песня была боевым кличем тинэйджеров, но она дарила и более мрачный мир взрослых чувств.
В конце 1960 её популярность снизилась, однако она продолжала давать концерты и выступать на телевидении. Большого внимания заслуживает скандал, связанный с сексуальной ориентацией певицы. В 2005 году она заявила, что считает себя лесбиянкой. После этого некоторые наблюдательные фанаты стали замечать в её альбомах лирическую тематику, касающуюся этого факта.
Лесли Гор умерла 16 февраля 2015 года в медицинском центре Нью-Йоркского университета Лангон в Манхэттене (Нью-Йорк) от рака легкого. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.

Lesley Sue Gore (born Lesley Sue Goldstein; May 2, 1946 – February 16, 2015) was an American singer, songwriter, actress and activist. At the age of 16, in 1963, she recorded the pop hit "It's My Party", and followed it up with other hits including "Judy's Turn to Cry" and "You Don't Own Me".
Gore also worked as an actress and composed songs with her brother Michael Gore for the 1980 film Fame, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. She was active until 2014, and hosted an LGBT-oriented public television show, In the Life, on American TV in the 2000s.
Raised in Tenafly, New Jersey to Jewish parents, Gore was discovered as a teenager. Her first single in 1963 at age 16 was the #1 hit It's My Party still perhaps her best known recording, which also made #9 in Britain. It was followed by others, including Judy's Turn to Cry (the sequel to "It's My Party"), She's a Fool, the proto-feminist You Don't Own Me, and Maybe I Know. Her record producer was Quincy Jones, who would later become one of the most famous producers in American music.
Instead of accepting the television and movie contracts that came her way, Gore chose to attend Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York. This limited her public career to weekends and summer vacations and undoubtedly hurt her career. Nevertheless, throughout the mid-1960's, Gore continued to be the one of the most popular female singers in the United States and Canada.
By the late 1960s, though, her fame lessened as popular tastes evolved towards a harder-edged, psychedelic sound. Her last major hit was "California Nights," (1967) which she performed on an episode of the Batman TV series in which she guest-starred as one of Catwoman's minions. Afterwards, she continued to stay busy in the music industry, performed at concerts and in cabarets and achieved noted success as a professional songwriter, including composing songs for the soundtrack of the 1980 film, Fame. She received an Academy Award nomination for "Out Here on My Own," written with her brother Michael.
Gore continued to be busy, playing concerts, appearing on television, and recently (2005) recording a self-produced and critically-acclaimed CD, "Ever Since." She is also known for tackling a variety of musical genres, including a credible take on AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap."
Although Gore did not officially come out until 2005, her lesbianism was not exactly a secret. The 1996 film Grace of My Heart featured a character (played by Bridget Fonda) whose industry struggles over her sexual orientation were similar to Gore's. Beginning in 2004 Gore could be seen hosting the PBS series In the Life, which focused on GLBT issues.
On February 16, 2015, Gore died of lung cancer at the age of 68. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
