Carole King and Gerry Goffin wrote that song. Jerry Wexler has been given some credit for some input, too.

I wasn't a fan of ""It's My Party"" or ""Judy's Turn to Cry"" but I loved ""She's a Fool"" and ""You Don't Own Me"".

RIP Lesley.

She had a not so good voice but a great sense of a teen song.

""You Don't Own Me"" actually helped me out a little. Got me away from someone who thought he did. That song made me think.

""You Don't Own Me"" was her best song (that I know of). Love the melody.

Sorry to hear that she has died ,loved her music my generation. She always seemed like she was a happy person and enjoyed what she was doing.

Actually, that was Carole King and a couple other guys.

Never could decide if I liked Aretha Franklin's version or Carole King's.

I'm not a fact checker. I just looked it up once awhile ago.

Loved Lesley Gore's stuff too.
