R.I.P. A lot of the legends are going these days unfortunately. Very sad.

 

[Mr. Bob Dobolina]

I was saddened by the news of her passing. I liked a lot of her hits, "It's My Party" and its sequel "Judy's Turn To Cry", "Maybe I Know", "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" and "You Don't Own Me". I saw her at an oldies concert a few years back. She was in fine voice and did a great show. RIP.
