The 45th Anniversary Tour...
Joe Viglione Talks about the Boston Mott Show, April 9, 2019
________________________________________________
For Boston area rock and rollers it was a class reunion of sorts
Mott the Hoople is a very special group in this critic's life. When songs like "Saturday Gigs," "Honaloochie Boogie," and "Roll Away the Stone" were absent from American radio, it was to the detriment of our world of entertainment, that essential soundtrack to our lives.
Tuesday evening April 9, 2019 brought it all back, forty five years after the Ariel Bender/Luther Grosvenor band emerged in the post Mick Ralphs era. Let's go right to "Saturday Gigs/All the Young Dudes" taped by some fan at the Orpheum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bpv2WubHbeg

It was like being part of a very large cult and for those of us who thoroughly absorbed the Island/Atlantic releases pre-"All the Young Dudes" (kind of like being a pre-CBS Fender guitar,) the vintage fine wine crowd blended with the youngsters from the 1974 Mott era.

Judy's Turn to Cry
https://www.revolvy.com/page/Judy%27s-Turn-to-Cry
Love being quoted:
Judy's Turn to Cry
...
The song's instrumentation includes drums and horns.[2] 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valuable as 'It's My Party' with violence that may have been inspired by The Crystals pushing the envelope with their withdrawn classic 'He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)'".[2] Viglione also notes that because both "It's My Party" and "Judy's Turn to Cry" are short, both at just under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."[2] This song is in the key of D Major, while "It's my Party" is in the key of A Major.[12] Connie Landers sang the two songs back to back on the 2008 album Girls Girls Girls: 1960's Rock N Roll.[13] Author Maury Dean notes that Gore's "crisp soprano uses very sophisticated jazz progressions."[7] Music journalist Lillian Roxon commented that "you could savor every bitchy second of Lesley's triumph with her sequel 'Judy's Turn to Cry.'"[14][15]
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

I've been playing this song for the past six months, always one of my favorites, and on the YouTube is this comment from a fellow named Dick:
