Subject: RE: 2nd Largest Hit - Lesley Gore - Goodbye Tony

Makes me wonder why Lesley recorded the German version in Germany. Maybe touring? Maybe better translators there? Isn't it more logical to issue a German version first, then tour? Why go if you put them to sleep? Lesley did about 4 different languages of songs. One other was recorded in Paris. I'm hard pressed to say some of the versions has Lesley actually singing. Just find a sound-a-like who knows the language well, and use her.

Best,
John
