This record actually peaked at #65.

@gremashlo Lesley recorded two versions of I'm Falling Down. The previously unreleased version can be found on the Bear Family box set.

Can you imagine a DJ going from Buffalo Springfield or the Doors to ...this? Apparently very few did, if it never got past #76. I always preferred the flipside, "I'm Falling Down"...

"Everything about him that I see; I see in meeeeee!" I should be grading essays on Thoreau and Rousseau, but I do have my priorities. LOL Great song--and along with "Caliafornia Nights"--my favorite song by Leslie. Singers today are just as good as back in the day, but they sing such terrible songs. That stupid moaning of Mariah Carey....I'll take the "woo-oo, woo-oo" in the back ground of this song that languishes in its own humor any day of the week.Singers of today, sing better songs.

@JohnnyGNV My cousin had "Brink of Disaster" on a 45. It must have been right around the time I was 6 months old, but I remember finding the record years later and loving it...

Visit Lesley on Facebook and Twitter: type in Lesley Gore, several names come up. Lesley is the one with the black and white photo.

This is one of my favourite records. It contains that great Lesley Gore-Bob Crewe sound so reminiscent of his Beach Boys work and the California sound he created.
This is a musicians song for other musicians. Very sophisticated single for its time. I wish they would issue a cd with all of her Bob Crewe work especially that of the Crewe label from after her Quincy Jones Mercury Days....where is the great "Back Together"?..

I need the lyrics to this song... so I can understand it... any ideas?

DJs ignored Lesley probably because she had been away from music scene for some time attending Sarah Lawrence College. When she graduated in 1968 she had no career left , so to speak. From the start, Lesley limited her appearances and recording sessions around school.. it came first.

I remember thinking this was a nice Record but just a little too close in sound to CALIFORNIA NIGHTS - And I do think that BRINK OF DISASTER was a better effort albeit ignored by radio stations - why wouldn't DJ's give more air time to LESLEY in 67-68 when she was obviously trying to put out interesting and well produced Records??

brings back memories of the summer of '67. If you were on any New England beach you'd hear this song echoing out of every transistor radio tuned to "The Big 68" WRKO....
