Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capitalizing on her status as one of America's premier teen idols, Lesley Gore delivers another sophisticated collection of mid-sixties Brill Building pop. Featuring the iconic feminist anthem 'That's the Way Boys Are', the album pairs her emotive, confident vocal delivery with lush, dramatic orchestrations. It stands as a masterclass in the emotionally resonant, highly polished songcraft of the era.
