IT’S MY PARTY
“It’s My Party” is a pop song recorded by multiple artists since the 1960s. In 1963, American singer Lesley Gore’s version hit #1 on the pop and rhythm and blues charts in the United States. It was the first hit single for producer Quincy Jones. (More from Wikipedia)
Lesley Gore’s first album, I’ll Cry If I Want To – the second line in her #1 hit song “It’s My Party” – collects numerous songs about crying, including her own answer song, “Judy’s Turn to Cry”, plus competent covers of pop songs of the day like “Misty” and “Cry Me a River” that most early-1960’s albums are saddled with.
