Judy's Turn to Cry
"Judy's Turn to Cry" is a song written by Beverly Ross (who also co-wrote Roy Orbison's "Candy Man") and Edna Lewis that was originally released by Lesley Gore in 1963. The song was produced by Quincy Jones, who also produced Gore's prior hit "It's My Party". It was released on Gore's first album ''I'll Cry If I Want To'' and also as a single which reached #5 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart and #10 on the Billboard R&B singles chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/lesley-gore-p4387/charts-awards/billboard-singles )〕 The single earned a gold record.
When "It's My Party" entered the Billboard Hot 100 on May 11, 1963, Gore's label, Mercury Records rushed to record a sequel. The sequel, "Judy's Turn to Cry," was recorded on May 14, 1963.〔 In "It's My Party," the singer was in tears because her boyfriend Johnny left with her best friend Judy. In "Judy's Turn to Cry," the singer kisses another boy at another party in order to make Johnny jealous and Johnny hits the other boy and returns to her.〔 In the chorus, which also opens the song, the triumphant singer gloats that "Well now it's Judy's turn to cry, Judy's turn to cry, Judy's turn to cry; 'cause Johnny's come back to me." Until then the singer's "tears just fell like rain drops" because "Judy's smile was so mean."〔 With its emphasis on crying—in this case Judy rather than the singer—the song fit in with the theme of the album ''I'll Cry If I Want To'', in which most of the songs involved someone crying.
The song's instrumentation includes drums and horns.〔 Allmusic critic Joe Viglione describes "Judy's Turn to Cry" as having "a monstrous hook as valuable as 'It's My Party' with violence that may have been inspired by The Crystals pushing the envelope with their withdrawn classic 'He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)'".〔 Viglione also notes that because both "It's My Party" and "Judy's Turn to Cry" are short, both at just under 2:20, and both songs are different from each other, and each starts off with its own identifiable hook, and the choruses are different but the verses tell one continuous story, the two songs could be played on the radio back to back, allowing Gore to sing the entire "soap opera."〔 This song is in the key of D Major, while "It's my Party" is in the key of A Major. Connie Landers sang the two songs back to back on the 2008 album ''Girls Girls Girls: 1960's Rock N Roll''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/girls-girls-girls-1960s-rock-n-roll-r1396619 )〕 Author Maury Dean notes that Gore's "crisp soprano uses very sophisticated jazz progressions."〔 Music journalist Lillian Roxon commented that "you could savor every bitchy second of Lesley's triumph with her sequel 'Judy's Turn to Cry.'"
Subsequent to initial release as a single and on ''I'll Cry If I Want To'', "Judy's Turn to Cry" has been released on numerous Lesley Gore compilation albums. These include ''The Golden Hits of Lesley Gore'' in 1965, ''It's My Party: The Mercury Anthology'' in 1996, ''Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows: The Best of Lesley Gore'' in 1998, ''20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection'' in 2000 and ''The Ultimate Collection 1963–1968: Start the Party Again'' in 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/search/track/Judy%27s+Turn+to+Cry/order:default-asc )〕 It has also been included on a number of multi-artist compilations of 1960s songs.〔
