    Many years ago, I would have never even considered purchasing this collection, but a broadening of musical horizons can be a good thing. Not sure what's going on but lately the 50's and 60's, plus every pioneering band or artist in many genres of music I have been seeking out.

    Everyone knows "It's My Party", but it was a couple songs "I Don't Wanna Be A Loser", and "Judy's Turn To Cry", and then one day I heard "You Don't Own Me" on the radio and that was all it took for me seek out this best of set from Gore; and really I believe I like or love every song on here. I guess it's her vocal delivery, her voice is fine, but it's just the style...it almost fits into an early alternative perhaps vibe that struck me, like something fresh even in the years 2006 and 07 since I first starting to really listen to her music. To be honest I'm pretty much fed up with todays female pop and/or top 40....nothing really grabs me other than a handful like KT Tunstall, Amy Winehouse, Beth Hart, Alanis Morissette, Aimee Mann to name a few. I'm a fan of Liz Phair, and of course some old school like Janis Joplin, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Suzi Quatro also, so female singers and musicians is a big musical interest also of course.

    That Lesley was so young when she made these records is indeed a major factor, and her views seem cut right from todays world, these songs seem written especially for her, and she does make them her own even there were the songwriting teams even back then even, that was probably the thing that spoiled it a bit for me, but Lesley was something like 16 or 17 years old around the time of these recordings I think and it's classic stuff from the 60's, and I just can't get enough so I'll take it over many of todays acts. Do yourself a favor and check her out, and hear some influential music from a different and sometimes not so different era, I did and really I'm glad I did.

    Everything on here is amazing I think, not a subpar track to be found, all major hits for her, perfect if you want her chart toppers only, if you are brave I guess you could get an expanded version of her greatest all time minor hits also on another CD, but for my money this is all I need. 3 or 4 years ago I only new one song by her, and now I have 9 or 10 other favorites!

    Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2008

    Ms. Gore is truly a work of art. Her voice is at its finest: clear, crisp, perfect pitch, full finished, and a range that satisfies even the harshest critic. Some songs are great, all are good. The downsides to the songs have nothing to do with Ms. Gore. The lyrics are typical of the time period. They are especially sappy, and simple. After you get in sync with the singer's voice and then really listen to the lyrics, you hear how basic they are. Boy troubles, disappointment, and individuality are "given" issues of teenagers. The other drawback is the lenght of the songs. All are less then 3 min. which is also typical of early rock & roll. But, it would be great to hear more of each song. Ms. Gore was such a strong talent at an unbelievably young age, I imagine songs were cranked out quickly to keep her in material and in the public eye. Face it, Ms. Gore could make anything sound great. I highly recommend this CD as a good introduction to Lesley Gore or as a flashback to the past for middle-aged Baby Boomers, such as myself.

    Lesley Gore was the Queen of Teen tunes. She had a wonderful voice. These songs are fun, memorable, and just make you want to dance.

    Songs you recognize, but may not know who recorded them. Standard sixties ‘teen theme’ music.

    It was only hearing one of the tracks on Radio 4 which encouraged me to buy this CD. I can honestly say that I had never heard of this lady before, but I do remember most of the songs. Playing bought back so many memories and its good to hear a naturally good singer and not a voice bolstered by studio effects. I will be searching out other music by Lesley Gore
