Lesley Gore

Someplace Else Now marked Lesley Gore's first full immersion into the world of the singer-songwriter.  She penned every one of the twelve tracks on this 1972 album, writing solo and with lyricists Ellen Weston and her brother Michael Gore.  Joe Porter (Gladys Knight and the Pips, Thelma Houston) supplied the passionate production.  Lesley's lost Motown gem, a stylistic mélange of pop, soul, folk, rock, and gospel, makes its long-awaited first ever CD appearance.  Though Lesley passed away at far too young an age earlier this year,Someplace Else Now is a tribute to this pioneering artist's timeless and enduring artistry.  The Second Disc's Joe Marchese provides the new liner notes.
