Lesley Gore, RIP
by digby
Before there was “Let It Go” there was “You Don’t Own Me”.
I can’t fully explain what a profound effect this song had on me when I was a little girl. It hit me hard. Let’s just say this message wasn’t something you heard every day in popular culture back then:
Gore was a feminist and in later life an out lesbian. She was always a cool gal, even with that flip.
RIP.
