The other day it dawned on me, the order of some of her songs and I had to laugh.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

She's a Fool

(Think there was another one in here)

Judy's turn to cry

Story of every teenage girl, back then, and I just never put it all together till the other day. She was one of my favorite singers.

She was similar to what Taylor Swift is now with her songs.

Oh yeah ....  You Don't Own Me.    Great song.

I'd always heard that "Judy's Turn to Cry" was a sequel to "It's My Party (and I'll Cry if I Want To).

I loved all of her songs.  I grew up singing to all of them.  Sorry to see she had died.

That's a whole lot of cryin' LOL

"Crying" was definitely the theme of Lesley's debut album:

I'm getting choked up just thinking about it.

I'm partial to this one:

"You Don't Own Me"

You don't own me

I'm not just one of your many toys

You don't own me

Don't say I can't go with other boys

And don't tell me what to do

Don't tell me what to say

And please, when I go out with you

Don't put me on display 'cause

You don't own me

Don't try to change me in any way

You don't own me

Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay

I don't tell you what to say

I don't tell you what to do

So just let me be myself

That's all I ask of you

I'm young, and I love to be young

I'm free, and I love to be free

To live my life the way I want

To say and do whatever I please

And don't tell me what to do

Oh, don't tell me what to say

And please, when I go out with you

Don't put me on display

I don't tell you what to say

Oh, don't tell you what to do

So just let me be myself

That's all I ask of you

I'm young, and I love to be young

I'm free and I love to be free

To live my life the way I want

To say and do whatever I please

@Desertdi   Not sure about her age, but kind of nice to see someone who is/was a celebrity aging gracefully.
