Thank you for putting these romantic clips with this great song.. I've never seen this movie after listening to the song makes you wonder is Albert Finney going to be cheating Audrey? If he is a great song for it. Wow when they gaze at each other they make beautiful couple. Thanks again for the great video clips and song
Lesley is a golden treasure of my teenage years. In 1964 I was 15 years old and all of us loved Lesley Gore. Her vocals and lyrics spoke to our hearts in the love language of the era. She is precious, gorgeous, intelligent and I just cant say enough great things about this lovely lady.
RIP, beautiful Lesley Goldstien / Gore ---------------personally, I LOVE both versions, & have both , the album & the 45. From the fall of '64. she & I were both 18 y/o.---------------------MJL
Lesley was a force to be reckoned with. For a 16 year old she had everything, looks talent and that Voice! Oh my gosh she was fantastic!.. news of her passing hit me Hard. Miss U Lesley Sue Goldstein RIP 2:042:04
I was not much of a rock and roller when I was 13 years old, back in the mid 1960s. But one night at midnight, my local radio station played Lesley Gore's Greatest Hits album in its entirety. At that moment, my entire life changed. A few years later, I was a DJ on that very same radio station, playing all my favorite Lesley Gore songs. Thank you for everything, Lesley, and for 30 years in radio broadcasting. "Look of Love" is my favorite and it would have been a much bigger hit, if those four guys from Liverpool, England hadn't been dominating the charts in 1964.
My gosh, hearing this song brings me back. Leslie was so way of everybody with songs n on stage performances. I have " always love you Leslie and your music, when we meet in heaven please give me a hug" love you now and whenever. Fred Rodriguez 8/1/24
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Lesley Gore. Her music, back in the early and mid 60's never failed to put a smile on my face. From everything I've heard and read about her she was a very down to earth, caring individual, who never took herself too seriously; in spite of the fact that she was such an awesome, singer/songwriter and performer. This old world is a much poorer place without her in it. R.I.P. Lesley. I will miss you and your beautiful face & voice.
Please check out YOU'VE COME BACK. Lesley recorded it after hearing the composer's demo, the great Van McCoy. She said she broke down and cried after hearing it for the first time. I did also when I flipped the SUNSHINE, LOLLIPOPS AND RAINBOWS 45 over wondering what gem Lesley backed her latest hit with. Lesley always delivered and never disappointed. RIP, Lesley. The heart and soul inspiration of the 60's.
@@MadredeAgua9 "The heart and soul inspiration of the '60s" is way too much credit for the entire 10 years. You could make a better case for the three years she was one of the best and influential in the narrower 1963-65 years, because she had few hits after 1965, and not many adults cared about the teen pop scene, so it was for us teens then. For me, it was the early-'60s, pre-Beatles (U.S.) 1957-63 songs from the great girl groups (The Chiffons, The Crystals, The Shirelles, Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, etc.), Neil Sedaka, Bobby Vee, Bobby Rydell, and the others cruelly thrown away or ignored after Jan. 1964.
LOVE the background vocals of those girls. In '64 this was one of my favorite songs. Of course, EVERYTHING about 1964 was magic, and the quality of this pop song personifies the era of the golden mystical magical mid sixties. What a pleasure to have been there. Thanks Lesley!
This is one of those songs that I loved from the very 1st time I heard it. Jeff Barry & Ellie Greenwich, arranged by Kalus Ogermann, produced by Quincy Jones , around Christmas of '64. ------------MJL< 76 y/o
A lot of tunes on my channel should have been more successful than they were. Enough time has passed that they can judged by the quality of the music, and talent of the musicians backing the singers, rather than just marketing, and what kids were told to like.
mutleybird do you have documentation to prove that he was in the fact the drummer on this song? Who else was on this record besides him then if you do in fact have documented proof that he is in fact the drummer on this song?
As a wedding / corporate weekend musican with female and male player singers, I have fond memories of doing Lesley Gore's songs. Always an audience favorite!
I saw LG some years ago at the MS Casino in CT when she brought the house down. She is surely missed by us who loved her music. Having said that, This video reminds me of when Audrey Hepburn, turned heads with her stunning beauty. Times were different and better back then.
Well, grow up she did and I for one am glad. To think we might not have had "Someplace Else Now", "Ever Since" or indeed my all-time favourite album "Love Me By Name"! Lesley was fantastic as a teenager but she only improved with age.
"Our" generation was so lucky to have been a part of such a fabulous music era! Hard to believe that "It's My Party" is almost 50 years old! Here in Toronto it came out in May '63..Back in the days when you had to save up your allowance for a record...! And yes, I have to agree with you, "Look of Love" is a wonderful song!
I own both versions --the single & the Hits-Album version, & over time I must admit, the simpler version stands up better--to me, anyway, & I was a huge fan, had a total-crush on Lesley! Wonderful song, from --ouch!!!---a LONG time ago. Wolfsky9
She was at the top when I was in college (1969 grad) and I loved just about every song she sang and enjoy watching the clips of her in concert the last few years doing the same songs. When my daughter was in college she grabbed some of my CD's and both her and her roommate have Sunshine/Lollipops/Rainbows as their phone ring tone.
It seems that many people don't understand the bittersweet aspect of the lyrics. She's reflecting on a lost love. It's not intended to be a happy song.
Nice song form the sixties of last Century. Times were very different from what they have since become. But it is nice to remember my youth hearing this songs I used to hear then.
probably if it had not been for Beatlemania, this would have been a much bigger hit. kind of sad that Lesley Gore, along with so many Motown acts and girl groups, took a back seat to the Beatles in '64-'65.
I agree, and it wasn't just the girls and it wasn't just Motown. I think Rick Nelson and especially Roy Orbison were unfair casualties of the Brit Invasion. After "Oh Pretty Woman," the singer Springsteen once called "Caruso in shades and a leather jacket" suddenly couldn't hit the side of a barn. Maybe changing music tastes will always leave some wreckage.
@@Ransomhandsome That was my understanding too. Motown was huge in the 1960s, outgrew Detroit and relocated. Some Motown acts were favoured over others, and some prospered more than others - I think Martha Reeves felt that the Supremes were prioritised - but the Brit invasion didn't hurt Motown.
I grew up listening to Leslie Gore she was 8 years older than me...Last time I saw her I was working at the Midland Hotel in Chicago .She and others were doing some kind of benefit in late 1990s .
Thanks for mentioning the great Hal Blaine. His drums defined the pop of the day as much as the guys in Motown. Drummers have told me they go out wedding gigs that he still plays sometimes for fun, just to watch him work.
This is the original version of Look of Love featured on Lesley's 1964 album, GIRL TALK. When Mercury decided it would be Lesley's next single, for release in December 64, Quincy decided to speed it up a bit and add jingle bells to it. Both versions sound great.
The backing vocal arrangement of this is fantastic. Love this sound. Several of the vids of Lesley on you tube show her performing live but without those backing vocals. It just gives those songs the "girl group" sound that was so prevalent in this period.
An absolutely wonderful arrangement of this song! Greenwich & Barry would be so proud!! I "grew up" 50s and 60s pop and I've been a fan of Lesley Gore since 1963! I write music as a hobby and composed a tribute to the amazingly talented singers and songwriters who worked out of the Brill Building. Thank you so much for posting this!
I was shocked and saddened to learn that Lesley Gore had passed away back in February. I knew about her passing only yesterday (August 24). I must have overlooked the news. Anyway, I hope that she will rest in peace. She was another great icon of girls' pops in the 60s.
Truthfully, because this is one of my all-time favorites by the wonderful Lesley Gore, I've always strongly preferred the simpler version--mainly because the beat is stronger & her vocal is cleaner. That said, I still own the 45, & I love it also. What a voice, & what a cutie, back in the day. And oh yes : the TAMI show was filmed/ released, in Late '64. Not '65. I know, I was there, & Lesley was nervous but wonderful. " Surfer Girl" was the finest vocal of that entire concert. Wolfsky9
One Of Her Best Songs. She Was One Great Singer. This song reminds Of a girl friend I had long agoIIII Thanks for posting this walk down "Memory Lane" Mutleybird
My favorite track of hers and I have all of them. I buy every new reissue. Such an incredible performance and recordings. Really amazing. I never get tired of listening to it. You have done a fabulous job of combining the versions. Thanks.

exactly soo right..charles randolph .."the look and the sound of real LOVE....not what we have today.. leslie gore was such an inmense talent and "sweet" to boot........
RIP, Beautiful Lesley Gore. The music you made, is forever, & ever. --------------------MJL, 76 y/o
This IS the best version! Just the faintest hint of those damn jangling bells.
Thanks, glad you checked it out!
Hit me hard too. I'm not ashamed to admit I was in tears.
Glad you checked out one of my videos.. :)
One of my favourite Lesley Gore songs along with Maybe I Know. Never tire of listening to her voice and songs, she had many great hits.
Another of these great sixties two minute master, performed by a very talented woman. Yes the good old days!
takes me back to better days...
I pull this up all the time. Lesley Gore and the girls of the 60's were great! Thank goodness for TH-cam.
Lesley and Connie Francis are not even in the rock and roll hall of fame yet .
Neither is Chubby Checker !
@@mikestamb6990 I don't put a lot of stock in the HOF anyway. It's all good.
More like Patie Boyd...
@@mikestamb6990Patie Boyd is way better...

The movie is not really connected to the lyrics of the song, so its worth it to see the movie as its a good one.

Yes it is the best version
Thanks!
Audrey Hepburn and Lesley Gore... Two angels ;)
The death of Leslie Gore really hit me hard. She was one of my all time favorites.
They're leaving us slowly one at a time.....and yeah it hurts !
Yes another gone too soon. But I was happy to read that she spent her last 30 years in a loving relationship. RIP Lesley.
Love this song
R.I.P., Lesley. You were one of a kind female singer. You will be missed.
She died young
She was one of the best girl singers in that delightful early-'60s era. R.I.P.
Such beautiful voice rest in peace
One of the most under rated singers of all time !
oneof the biggest echo chambers, along with Gary Lewis... she made great records, but didn't have a great voice
@@jong0000What are you deaf Karen

Wally, I couldn't have said it better. She was one hell of a singer and also wrote many songs, too. This is my favorite Leslie Gore song!
WALLY, I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER. RIP LESLEY GORE.

Unreal that this song didn't make the Top 10.

Enough time has passed that they can judged by the quality of the music, and talent of the musicians backing the singers, rather than just marketing, and what kids were told to like.
The drumming on this is pure genius: An aural textbook for percussionists on how to enhance the appeal of a pop song.
Buddy Salzman. That part is from the more laid back album version of the song that I mixed in.
mutleybird do you have documentation to prove that he was in the fact the drummer on this song? Who else was on this record besides him then if you do in fact have documented proof that he is in fact the drummer on this song?

A terrific song by one of the best American vocalists ever!
I’m with you I love the beat
We've lost a truly lovely and wonderful singer; RIP Lesley. God has embraced you.
Still listening in 2023 😊
And, to one of MY videos, yet!
Miss Leslie Queen of the 60's!
Love love love Les -- she will never grow up -- one of my favorites along with Patty Duke -- boomer back at ya!

Never heard this song before. I thought it was the song done by Sergio Mendes.
Her voice had the sound of romance , love you Lesley !

The Supremes didn't take a back seat they had twelve #1 songs.

Motown thrived during the British Invasion, as did the Four Seasons, The Beach Boys.

WHAT A GREAT MOVIE AND SINGER AND SONG.
Meravigliosa inebriante !!! Bellissima nel ballarla a rock lento !
One of so many great songs for Leslie Gore. Such a big sound. Alfa Giulietta Sprint at the beginning. I have one !
What a neat song ..."sn't that the look of love". Haven't we all shared that moment ?
Jerry Christman ayuh! 😁
Absolutely Excellent song!!!! And My O My -- look at her eyes!!!! Those have got to have been the prettiest eyes you ever saw!!!!!
Beautiful
My favorite Lesley Gore song. Tenafly lost a great talent. Thanks Lesley for getting me over some of the bumps in the road.
Fabulous!

Thanks John. Glad you checked it out!
I've watched this many many times int he past years. Thanks for making it. Two For The Road is a wonderful film but a bit sad too, yes?
The movie is a bit sad, but it was a good source for visuals.
Stunningly handsome and smart quincy jones produced many songs sang by a lot of good singer as always late leslie gore

So perfectly done
This is such a fantastic version and I can't understand why it wasn't a run away smash hit!
Several versions including a Christmas-season one.
She sang typical teen songs that I was able to relate to back in the 60's - may she R.I.P.!
Love this mix! So clean and punchy.
I LOVE VERY MUCH THE WAY THIS VERSION SOUNDS,IT'S BOUNCY*
Will crank up my greatest hits CD this summer and think of her.
You won't find THIS version on there.. :)
Always a fan of 50 and 60's music and Lesley, but never remember this song. Love your version. Thanks!

Miranda, glad you love the oldies like I do, though I was born in 1953. Later in the 1980's, I was a fan of the Bangles. Expose, Belinda Carlisle and Martika. You probably are familiar with their music, too. The 50's and 60's music bring back so many cherished memories for me when I was a kid and teen and when times were much more simpler than today. Regarding this movie, it was NOT a love story but a couple with MANY marital problems! Great theme song from the late GREAT Henry Mancini!
Still a fan
Great job matching the movie up with the song!
Thanks, Mary! Glad you checked out, and saw the movie as well... :)
exactly soo right..charles randolph .."the look and the sound of real LOVE....not what we have today.. leslie gore was such an inmense talent and "sweet" to boot........
Probably her Best song.....
A natural blond beauty with many talents
Great post and the best version, blows out the speakers too!
i remember when he was mine. this still makes me cry.
The word when Lesley Gore was recording in the studio it would take just one take for her track
Though, on this and other tunes, she double tracks herself. She sings it again, and they mix the two vocals together.
Tops!
Thanks, glad you checked out one of my videos!
Awesome mash-up mutleybird! Thanks for sharing ~ RIP Lesley Gore!
Thanks Jorge! I appreciate that you checked it out.
