Suburban teenage girl sings about suburban teenage girl angst -- and somehow makes an instant classic of it. I loved "It's My Party" and its sequel "Judy's Turn to Cry," but my favorite Lesley Gore song has always been "Maybe I Know." Here's my Lesley Gore blog postabout it. RIP Lesley!

I was really sad to hear of her passing. I think she died of lung cancer but wasn't a smoker? It seems like we are losing all the old early rock n roll, country and pop icons.
I had been putting off adding her music to my library but put that unfortunate oversight to rest and ordered a couple of items. I've heard she had some solid album cuts and low charting tunes besides the big hits!

I seriously am worried about the next few years when the icons of my youth begin to die of perfectly natural causes.
May we celebrate them while they're still here with us!
