Lesley Gore – ‘It’s My Party’ Singer Dead at 68 Years Old – #RIP

Lesley Gore, better known for her 1965 hit, “It’s My Party,” died of cancer on Monday at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. She was 68 years old.

Gore’s hit singles of teen love and betrayal were familiar soundtracks of AM radio. And her hit, You Don’t Own Me, was an early feminist anthem as a generation came of age in the mid-1960s.

“She was a wonderful human being — caring, giving, a great feminist, great woman, great human being, great humanitarian,” her partner of 33 years, jewelry designer Lois Sasson, told AP.

Born Lesley Sue Goldstein in Brooklyn, Gore’s other hits included She’s a Fool and a follow-up to It’s My Party called Judy’s Turn to Cry.

She went on to have four Top 5 singles in 1963 – including Marvin Hamlisch’s first hit,Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows.

Pure Insanity – Netanyahu Tells European Jews To Immigrate to Israel

Is this how we handle terrorism these days, to have everyone run back to their homeland? Isn’t that what the terrorists want… segregation?

In a speech on Sunday, Netanyahu, while talking about a Jewish man who was killed in an attack outside Copenhagen’s main synagogue. suggested the separatist way as the way to stop terrorism – segregation.

“Jews have been murdered again on European soil only because they were Jews,” Netanyahu said. “Of course, Jews deserve protection in every country, but we say to Jews, to our brothers and sisters: Israel is your home.”

Denmark’s chief rabbi Jiar Melchior said he was “disappointed” by Netanyahu’s invitation. “If the way we deal with terror is to run somewhere else, we should all run to a deserted island.”

Separately, Netanyahu also announced $45 million to encourage the immigration of Jews from France, Belgium and Ukraine in a government initiative planned before the Copenhagen attacks.
