Gore cut her first big pop hit, It's My Party, at the age of 16, which went on to become a number one hit in the United States in 1963. After rising to fame with that infectiously catchy single, Gore went on to put out another ten top-40 songs such as Judy's Turn To Cry, and You Don't Own Me – the latter of which would become something of a feminist anthem.
Later on, in her career in the spotlight, Gore worked as an actress and television personality. In 1980, she teamed up with her brother Michael Gore and composed several songs for the 1980 film Fame. That work ended up landing her an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.
In the 2000s, Gore hosted several episodes of the LGBT television newsmagazine In The Life, which aired on PBS. Many people that grew up listening to Gore's music probably knew very little about who she was or what she stood for. In this video, we'll be taking a closer look at the side of Lesley Gore that she kept hidden from her fans for many years.
