Lesley Gore - Start the Party Again

Between 1963 and 1969, Lesley Gore racked up a mighty tally of 29 American singles (of which 19 made the top 100) and eight original albums. Like connie francis in the fifties, she was America's pre-eminent female pop vocalist throughout the sixties; one who confidently took the stage with the rolling stones, jan & dean and the supremes at the tami show, starred alongside the beach boys in the film "girls on the beach", and appeared as catwoman's assistant in episodes of batman. 'you don't own me', her fourth consecutive American top five hit, is widely credited today as the first real feminist anthem. 'start the party again' is the most exhaustive anthology of Lesley Gore's mercury years available. It's 30 tracks embrace all her hits, her better b-sides and album tracks, and a couple of rare German language tracks. This lavish package features an extensive essay on lesley's career by glenn a. Baker. With songs written by goffin & king, greenwich & barry, jimmy webb, kenny young, bob crewe and carole Bayer-Sager, it is a surging, effervescent hour and a quarter of high quality pop from a magical era. Raven. 2005.
