July 20: What a birthday surprise… “It’s My Party” – a number one hit performed by Lesley Gore and produced by Quincy Jones. The songwriting credits went to John Gluck, Wally Gold and Herb Weiner, staff writers at the Aaron Schroeder Music firm in 1962, but (according to Wikipedia) the lyrics were actually written by Seymour Gottlieb, a freelance songwriter.
