Lesbians In The News

Lesley Gore, a pop singer who first entered the AM airwaves and the American consciousness in 1963, died of cancer Monday morning at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, PEOPLE has confirmed. She was 68.

At 17, the Brooklyn-born, Tenafly, New Jersey-raised former Lesley Sue Goldstein wailed in a hit single produced by Quincy Jones that "It's My Party" and she would cry if she wanted, whining of a rival, "She's a Fool," and declaiming, "You Don't Own Me."

The catchy beat and voice led to four Top 5 singles in 1963 – and a 1965 smash by a then-brand-new composer enjoying his first hit: "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows," by Marvin Hamlisch.

Besides her brother and mother, Gore is survived by her partner of more than three decades, Lois Sasson.
