Baby Boomer Alert: Lesley Gore Celebrates 50th Year in Show Business! (VIDEO)

Singer Lesley Gore was just a junior in a New Jersey high school when she recorded "It's My Party."  The song would change her life.

At just 16 yeas old she found herself with a worldwide #1 record which sold over a million singles. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Song of the Year.

Lesley Gore all of a sudden was the hottest thing in music.  She recorded several more hits before her career cooled off.  Among these hits are "She's A Fool," "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows," "You Don't Know Me," "She's A Fool," "Look of Love," and "Maybe I Know."

Now 66-years young and back out on the "Oldies Circuit," we congratulate Lesley Gore on her 50th year in show business in 2013!
