My Town, My Guy & Me
My Town, My Guy & Me is the fifth studio album by American singer Lesley Gore, released in 1965. The album was originally titled Lesley Gore Sings for Girls in Love.[1] Commercial performanceMy Town, My Guy & Me was much less successful than its predecessors. Only the album's title track found chart success;[2] the single peaked at 32 on the Billboard Hot 100, after five weeks on the chart, and dropped out of the top forty after eight weeks.[3] Critical receptionBillboard Magazine rated the album a "package of strong pop material", with Gore's vocals on "No Matter What You Do" highlighted as "a standout" performance.[4] Retrospectively, AllMusic awarded the album three stars, calling it Gore's "last fairly-strong non-greatest-hits LP, and the last to feature a reasonable standard of material." However, like her previous albums, it features "a number of goodies for fans inclined to dig beyond the 45s of this very singles-oriented artist."[2] Billboard described the title track as an "exciting rhythm number with clever lyric" and praised the "intriguing backing and powerful vocal."[5] Cash Box described it as a "rhythmic romantic rocker about a gal who just wants to be in the same town as the guy of her dreams."[6] Track listing
