Very occasionally, Strictly Come Dancing comes up with a great song that I haven't heard for years. And so it was on Saturday night that Greg Rutherford and Natalie Lowe performed a Viennese Waltz to the late Lesley Gore's 1963 hit You Don't Own Me. Written by John Modara and David White, the tune is a very fast waltz, perfect for a Viennese. Whoever found it should be congratulated. Although they probably found the recent recording by a singer called Grace accompanied by some rapper.
Lesley Gore was 17 when she recorded the song and had had her biggest hit with It's My Party. A number one hit when she was only 16. What a great voice.
