4rd day of Pride Month - 3rd LGB history 🏳️‍🌈
Today is the 3rd day of my special Pride Month thing, and after talking about Tracy Chapman, and Elisa y Marcela (first lesbian wedding in Spain, that happened in 1901 after Elisa disguised a man), I am gonna talk about another female LGB artist, that is also very famous but less talked about on tumblr :
Lesley Gore !
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Born Lesley Sue Goldstein on May 2, 1946, in New York City, coming from a jewish family, she is an american singer, composer and song writer, known for example for her song "You don't own me" (amazing song that I love, by the way) and many others. She died of lung cancer on February 16, 2015, in the same town where she was born.
At the time of her death, she was in a 33-year relationship with the woman Lois Sasson, a jeweller.
She was still in high school when her single "It's my party" (1963) reached number 1 in the charts, was sold over a million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. After that, her career was succesful! Her songs were widely covered, in English by Amy Winehouse and many others, but also in a host of other languages, including French, English and Italian, by artists such as the singer Dalida. In 1967, she also had a role in the TV series Batman, and in 1980, she wrote with her brother the song "out here on my own" for the movie "Fame".
In addition to her musical career, Lesley Gore participated in LGB activism too. In the mid-2000s, she took part in the PBS series "The Life", on the subject of homosexuality, and was involved in the defense of the right to same-sex marriage.
She came out in 2005, in an interview with After Ellen, when she clearly said that she was a lesbian, and told the world about her relationship with Lois Sasson (that lasted from 1982 to her death). She explained that She had known about her attraction to women from the time she was 20, and stated that although the music business was "totally homophobic", she never felt she had to pretend she was straight.
"I just kind of lived my life naturally and did what I wanted to do. I didn't avoid anything, I didn't put it in anybody's face."
Lois and Lesley were planning to get married, in the summer of 2015, when Lesley died.

Because she's a woman I tried to name it everything but love But like a magic dream It would not be turned aside But suddenly and warmly it held me Because she's a woman

Don't take it away now from me For then the birds won't fly Or sweet talk the morning For then the Earth would cry And long for the dew

any tips on getting ur music out there?? been working on stuff for years but haven't gotten to really polish anything
I’d recommend covering popular songs related to your genre and adding your own personal touch or twist.
When I first started out, I was making music that was inspired by Lana Del Rey’s types of tracks, so I did a ton of covers of her most popular songs but made them queer. I now have over 1.5 million streams (and counting) on one of my covers I released about 6 months ago and it garnered a LOT of listeners who then went to stream my originals and stayed because it was new yet familiar.
I will say, however, that I’ve shot myself in the foot with this one, as now I’ve built a reputation for being a Lana type musician, when truly what I’ve been wanting to do for years was metal/screamo - I just didn’t have the right tools yet. It’s very easy to pidgeonhole yourself into a niche if you’re not careful. Covering one single artist and only marketing toward that fan base is a recipe for a typecast.
Fortunately, the (albeit small) fan base I’ve gained so far seems pretty enthusiastic about the direction I’m headed, as I also world-build and continue to make sure my presence ascends my music. Every now and then I also release music that’s an entirely different sound to keep people interested and curious on what’s coming.
I used to put hours into researching trends on tiktok in order to create viral videos that were relevant to my genre, and my original Brooklyn Baby Cover ended up going viral on multiple platforms, which started a snowball effect for me. Tiktok is your friend in terms of marketing, as you have the best success rate of virality there. You don’t have to dance or be flashy, but make sure your videos are engaging, aesthetically pleasing, and give the viewer something to take with them before they scroll.
P.S: I’ve never put money into any social media promotion anywhere, but investing in marketing is always a great idea. I definitely would if I had cash to spare.
Hope this helps :)
