    God, that just sucks. It's My Party used to be my party piece when I was little and I still stick by it even now.

    RIP Lesley, thanks for all the memories and good times.

    Lung cancer at 68. Was Leslie a smoker? I mean that in a nice way.

    Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.

    I am heartbroken, just heartbroken! My favorite female singer of all time! I have all her old original records from the 60's! My favorite song of hers has always been "You've Come Back" from her 4th album called "Girl Talk". What a voice! I will miss her dearly.

    This is awful! Next you'll tell me that Little Peggy March will no longer be singing "I Will Follow Him". Anyway, rest in peace, sunshine girl.

    How many times I sang along with her. So sad. Anyone remember when she was on Batman?? I think she was one of Catwoman's kittens. As I remember, Robin wasn't too impressed, and Batman was lusting after Catwoman.

    Yes, she starred in one episode of Batman. She played "Pussycat" and sang her hit song at the time "California Nights".

    I Just read that her funeral will be at Frank Campbell Funeral Home. That's the same funeral home that Joan Crawford's funeral was at. Don't know why I remember that fact.

    Aww, how sad. I hate cancer. Hearing "It's My Party" always reminds me of Richard Simmons in "Sweatin To The Oldies." RIP

    Sad news. Met her a couple of years ago after a performance and she was so nice. Signed her cd of greatest hits for me.
