Someplace Else Now

With four top five hits before she was 18, Lesley Gore was probably the biggest female teen idol of her era. Despite her exalted status in pop music history, her 1972 album Someplace Else Now for Berry Gordy's Mowest label has never been released on CD. Gore wrote or co-wrote every song on the album - songwriting collaborators include Ellen Weston and Gore's brother Michael, with whom Lesley wrote the score to the hit movie Fame. Produced by Joe Porter, this 1972 release marked Lesley's move into a singer-songwriter mode. With Gore's Recent Passing, a timely release and one long requested by her legion of fans.
