In NYC's "Forgotten Borough," 60's Singing Sensation Lesley Gore Mentors NYC "Forgotten Children" Who Have a Song to Sing and a Story to Tell
Health PeopleSinger Lesley Gore (“It’s My Party,” “You Don’t Own Me”) spent the summer quietly riding the 6 train to the South Bronx to help give voice to a group of kids who often find themselves voiceless in a noisy city. The kids, ages 5 to 20, who are part of South Bronx-based Health People and its Kids-Helping-Kids mentoring program, beat the heat by rehearsing their powerful rap, “Pull Your Pants Up,” with the pop legend for its iTunes and YouTube debut.
