Quincy Jones' work with Lesley Gore certainly added to his fame, but considering that he was already successful as a jazz artist and had worked with Ray Charles, Count Basie, and Frank Sinatra, amongst others, I wouldn't say that his work with her established his fame.
She also did not hurt his career by any means. It put him in the world of pop spotlight, and made her a star.

[edit] "Proto-feminist" song
"You Don't Own Me" may be embraced by feminists as some sort of proto-feminist song, but does Gore feel that it is feminist? Is this a relevant observation or is it a POV? I could preceed "Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows" with a different adjective, such as "anti-diabetic," though clearly this would only be my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.110.36 (talk) 00:30, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Table
The table needs to be cleaned up as it's quite messy at the moment. Wish I had more knowledge to do it. Timclare (talk) (sign here) 00:55, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Citation request
Whoever put the "citation" request on Wedding Bell Blues - I added a link to the LG fan club site, which has it listed in their discography. MarkinBoston 23:11, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Lesleygore.JPG
Image:Lesleygore.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Alto voice
Apparently, someone added to this article's infobox that Lesley Gore is an alto just because she was listed as an alto on the alto page. Even the person who added that content to this article did not think Lesley Gore sounded like an alto and she definitely does not sound like an alto to me either. She sounds to me like a soprano, but I have never found a reliable source that states her voice type. I think that need to either cite a reliable source that says that she is an alto (or a soprano), or else remove all info on her voice type from this article. I will make this point on the alto article as well.

- On October 24, User:ineversigninsodonotmessageme removed Lesley Gore from the list of "contemporary and crossover altos" in the alto article. I will remove the aforementioned content from this article in a few days if no one provides a source. Andrea Parton 01:49, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Repeated reversion of Sarah Lawrence's location
I notice that there has been a lot of reverting lately of the inclusion of the location of Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers. This is obviously something some of this article's editors passionately disagree on. I really don't care if the location of Sarah Lawrence is included in this article, but I think editors should try to resolve there differences here on the talk page, rather than continuing to engage in edit warring.

- I have noticed the same thing and totally agree. — Ѕandahl 02:38, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
