It's My Party (ver. 1) by Herb Wiener - Piano Sheets and Free Sheet Music

"It's My Party" is a song most famously sung by American singer Lesley Gore in 1963. This song hit #1 on both the pop and rhythm and blues charts in the United States. [1]. In the United Kingdom, "It's My Party", peaked at #9, becoming Gore's only major hit in the latter country. It was also the first hit single for producer Quincy Jones. The song lyrically portrays the emotional downfall and public humiliation of a teenage girl who, at the birthday party she is throwing, is humiliated when her boyfriend, Johnny, abruptly leaves her and takes up with a girl named Judy, to whom he gives a ring to show his love for her. The song's chorus, "It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to... You would cry too if it happened to you," quickly became a part of American pop cultural language as a phrase used to describe being utterly humiliated and miserable during an event that is supposed to be a happy occasion.    Download this sheet!
