b'Lesley Gore topped the C-FUNtastic Fifty for the third straight week on this day in 1963 with \\u201cIt\\u2019s My Party,\\u201d produced by the legendary Quincy Jones!

She was a guest on Timmy\\u2019s Christmas Telethon in 1989 and that\'s where we recorded this interview. In the early 2000\\u2019s Lesley played the Silver Reef Casino south of the border. She called me from her home in New York and asked if I would introduce her at the Silver Reef. I agreed and said it would be an honour. Her credentials speak volumes. \\n\\nLesley Gore died of cancer at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan in February, 2015. She was 68. One of the great ladies of rock and roll.'
