That is my favorite Lesley Gore song. It doesn't sound as good on Youtube as it does if you hear it on the radio, but it's still great.

For all the talk of "You Don't Own Me" (not a fan of that song), many of Lesley's songs are very sexist, but as with Dusty, she sings them so stylishly you just don't care.

Also love this:

and for another contribution to gay cinema, there's the song she wrote with her brother, in the version of Fame that wasn't ashamed of those icky queers. I just love this song. What a mess of a movie this was, but characters like Coco and Bruno will stay with me always.

One of the most successful British bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s was synthpop duo Erasure, consisting of Vince Clarke (a founder member of Depeche Mode), and singer Andy Bell, who's never hidden his homosexuality. Between 1986 and 1997 they had 24 consecutive top 20 hits in the UK. This song was not one of them, only reaching #85 in the UK in early 1986, but it is my favourite song by them.

In 1992 they scored their only #1 in the UK when they recorded several ABBA songs on an EP called ABBA-esque. This was one of the things which led to the renewed interest in ABBA's music during that period.

You know what is odd, and totally unexpected about their video of the Abba cover, is that Vince makes the FAR prettier woman! I always liked Erasure, they were a big part of the last good era in music, "Love To Hate You" is one of my favorites. Last but certainly not least is whom many consider to be the greatest female singer that ever lived. Dusty:

Those close to her said that she always dressed like a drag queen because she feared being percieved as "butch". She did have a temper and like to throw things. Martha said that she used to go to a thrift store and buy old, cheap glassware so she would ahve soemthing to throw against the walls and break if she got mad.

    • Well, I thought it was very exciting. The storm, the vehicles in trouble, at the hospital, that weird guy calling Jen, IzzyB very pregnant & also medically having problems & I thought they did a great job with the storm F/X. Even Alice helping at the hospital. Of course I always hated Tracy M. She just wasn't Carrie to me. 
    • I am glad Brook Lynn blurted out the truth to Tracy and we get to see her reaction.  I really hope the show doesn't forget about Ned in this story. Since he appears so rarely, he tends to be the afterthought in all this.  That was a pretty large secret Lois and Brook kept from him for no real reason.  I need him to be able to show his feelings about being in the dark this whole time.
    • Perhaps they could’ve borrowed some febreezr from Nicole.
    • Javi is played by such an attractive actor and he’s saddled with such a terribly written role.
    • Thy ran out of Tide and didnt have any clean clothes to wear
    •  I wanna know why Naomi wasn't there, this is her Aunt and Uncle, no  way she'd miss it
    • Vernon actually had a cravat not a turtleneck. I didn't like Nicole's dress with her breastes prominent.
    • the tweet linked to https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2025/05/02/ruth-buzzi-dies-the-rowan--martin-laugh-in-star-was-88/ That Forbes account of Ruth Buzzi said she'd had Alzheimer's for 10 years? -- they are quoting her facebook as saying that. But her facebook says this: Ruth Buzzi  July 24, 1936 – May 1, 2025 Ruth Buzzi died peacefully in her sleep at home in Texas. She was in hospice care for several years with Alzheimer’s disease. Memorial arrangements by Lacy Funeral Home, Stephenville, Texas to be announced. Her family requests donating to Alzheimer’s research (www.alz.org) in lieu of flowers. https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl  But she was tweeting a couple of years ago...  There's more info on @slick jones page here https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/55788-soap-hoppers-the-soap-actors-and-roles-thread/page/380/#comment-1869080 A few hours before her death was announced, her husband posted onto her facebook this: https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid02hxSLCXSKM62DHE72RFXeY8s8M4PXeAcDJGkhfnTLKVNVpZqSYmAREpr7W7RgDhUzl This is Ruth Buzzi‘s husband writing on her page.  She asked me to thank all of you for being so good to her for so many years.  She wants you to know she probably had more fun doing those shows than you had watching them.    Because of health issues, she’s must withdraw from writing, but she will still be reading and enjoying your posts.   If you've met Ruthie and had a picture taken with her, please post it below.   If you have a great memory from her career that you enjoyed — a special comedy sketch, or a moment that made you laugh — share that with us. Ruthie loves you. --------------
