Lesley Gore
This is Lesley Gore's first television appearance which took place on the Ed Sullivan show on October 13, 1963. She was 17 years old. I thought she was in mid-20s because she looked and so mature. She sang 'It's My Party' This is live. There is overhead boom microphone overhead. She's short with a listed height of 5'2 (she told in an interview that she's 5 feet tall). Her vocals are beautiful and sound nice and innocent. She's not singing with any sass nor humor. This was her first television appearance, and she wanted to make a great first impression. I watched her documentary, and she said that she thought that she threw up for 3 months before doing the Ed Sullivan show. She said that she was very nervous. She said it was terrifying for she had little experience with audiences and that Ed Sullivan show is big as it gets. I didn't notice any nervousness in her performance. She really covered it up. She seemed comfortable and poised. ...
