"California Nights" #16 3/18/1967

The last Top 40 hit for Lesley Gore. She had recently appeared on TV's "Batman" as Pussycat, accomplice to Catwoman as played by Julie Newmar. This tune was co-written by Marvin Hamlisch (who later composed music for "The Sting") and produced by Bob Crewe. Marvin also co-wrote "Sunshine, Lollipops And Rainbows" for Lesley, who was one of a handful of American acts that had success before and after the British Invasion. Clip is from her "Batman" episode. Holy Meow!
