I found a video with a few other Lesley clips. The first clip looks like its from Hullabaloo, which was a national television station that showcased hit musicians of the day, sort of like TRL. Hullabaloo's main competitor was Shindig! which is my personal favorite. Hullabaloo mainly had the bands and artists lip sync to their records and often had them sit in front of strange sets. The Hullabaloo dancers were much more choreographed than the Shindig! dancers, as you can see from their little dance in the middle of Lesley's song. Shindig! dancers were more like regular go-go dancers that someone might have seen at a dance club. The second clip is an extension of the "You Dont Own Me" clip that I have at the end of the Lesley Gore article. The clip is from the TAMI Show which I briefly talk about in the Lesley Gore article. At the end when she's singing "Its Judy's Turn to Cry" You can see a whole bunch of the other performers from the TAMI Show: Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson, and Marvin Gaye, to name a few. I dont recognize the last show, but It looks like it is probably a local, regional television show based on Shindig! P.S. when there are about 45 seconds left on the video the back up dancers do the most adoreable dance move where they do the Mashed Potato but with their hands they make a little crying motion. love it! I'll have to try that move the next time I'm dancing to Lesley Gore at the Go-Go dance clubs I frequent so often.
Enjoy Lesley and her fabulous hair!
Also: This is an early music video of Lesley Gore singing one of my favorites, Wonderboy. I wanted to put this in my original Lesley Gore article but couldn't find it at the time.
