She started the year winning nearly every music industry award for Best Female Vocalist, including Cash Box, Record World, Music Business and 16 magazines, and she was appearing on movie screens in three films, including the legendary live rock concert, "The TAMI Show." Her first edition of "Golden Hits" was a mainstay on the LP charts, and Mercury Records kept her busy in the studio when she was on hiatus from her sophomore year at Sarah Lawrence College. The first fruits of her Hollywood and New York recording sessions with Jack Nitzsche and Quincy Jones were found on the album from those dates, originally titled "Lesley Gore Sings for Girls in Love," but re-titled "My Town, My Guy and Me," when the single of the same name leapt into the top 40. "My Town, My Guy and Me" showed a maturing Lesley Gore at the crossroads, straddling girl group pop (Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry's sublime "What's A Girl Supposed to Do?"), standard Gore betrayl angst ("You Didn't Look 'Round" from "The TAMI Show")and runaway rage ("I Don't Care"). But the album also found her triumphantly belting solid West Coast Rock ("No Matter What You Do"), a Jackie DeShannon-Jack Nitzsche rhythm ballad with Barbara Lewis' name all over it ("Baby That's Me") and a trio of sophisticated uptown Brill Building gems, including the definitive version of Van McCoy's "Before and After." Gore's own "A Girl in Love" is another highlight of that set, which presaged her brilliant late 1965 single, "I Won't Love You Anymore (Sorry)," co-written with her brother, Michael Gore, and widely considered one of her classic tracks by rock historians. That single, produced by Shelby S. Singleton because Quincy Jones was scoring film in California, was featured on the second Gore album cut in 1965, "Lesley Gore Sings All About Love," which hit record stores the very last week of that year. In a series of New York City studio sessions, Lesley sang with the cream of Nashville musicians and Manhattan players, for this seamless, smooth collection that saw her step all the way out of the echo chamber and double-tracked vocal sound on every single song. She had been singing in nightclubs for a couple of years now, and the updated sound was as becoming as the new short haircut. The chart hits, "We Know We're in Love" and "Young Love" (#50 in the US, but top 10 in Canada and Australia), are the best-known cuts, but the incendiary "With Any Other Girl" and sexy "Only Last Night" are the real highlights. And Lesley's readings of Nat King Cole's "Too Young" and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" are sheer vocal genius. Yes, Lesley Gore sang for girls in love in these two great 60s LPs, now on one CD, but thank God for us boys, we get to listen, too...
