Lesley Sue Goldstein (May 2, 1946 – February 16, 2015), known professionally as Lesley Gore, was an American singer, songwriter, and actress. In 1963, at the age of 16, she recorded the pop hit "It's My Party" (a US number one), and followed it up with other hits including "Judy's Turn to Cry", "She's a Fool", "You Don't Own Me", "Maybe I Know" and "California Nights".Gore also worked as an actress, making an appearance on The '60s TV series Batman, and composed songs for the soundtrack of the 1980 film Fame, for which she received an Academy Award nomination for "Out Here on My Own", written with her brother Michael.In 2005, Gore came out as a lesbian. It was later revealed that, although she had stayed closeted to the general public, she was out to practically everyone in the music business during her career.She died of lung cancer on February 16, 2015 at the age of 68.

Crying at Your Birthday Party
 Lesley Gore (Music) / int_2d65c9e6
comment
Crying at Your Birthday Party: "It's My Party (And I'll Cry If I Want To)" is about the singer getting dumped by her boyfriend Johnny for another girl in her birthday and Johnny arriving to the party with said other girl, driving the singer into a Heroic BSoD as she sees them enjoy themselves. A sequel song (appropriately-named "Judy's Turn to Cry") has the singer realize how silly it is for her to react that badly, kissing another boy at the party - who Johnny promptly punches, reuniting with her while dumping Judy.

Transatlantic Equivalent: Is often considered an American equivalent of the UK's Sandie Shaw and vice versa, as both were 60s Girl Next Door singers.

The title of the 2007 Slasher Movie It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To is clearly based on "It's My Party" and its refrain, "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to..."

Female Empowerment Song: "You Don't Own Me", to the point that it's often cited as a factor in the second wave of feminism, and most appearances of the song in media treat it as such. It's about how her lover doesn't own her thoughts or body.
