"People Like You" was released as a lead single in January 1967,[1] backed by Nelson Riddle's arrangements, and became Eddie Fisher's final entry on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 97, and No. 4 on the Easy Listening chart.[2] On Cash Box's Top 100 chart, it peaked at No. 74 during a 6-week stay.[3][4]
Overview
"People Like You" was released in January 1967. It was recorded after Eddie Fisher's Games That Lovers Play album, which was his most successful album during the 1960s. The single reached No. 4 on the Easy Listening chart and No. 97 on the Billboard Hot 100, in which it stayed for 3 weeks.[5] Like with the album before, Fisher immediately started to record his next album after the charting song, and also like the album before the album is named the same as the song. The single got #36 in the year-end charts of the AC chart in 1967.[6] It was his last major hit,[7] with the last minor hit being recorded the same year. William Ruhlmann comments on AllMusic: ""People Like You" sounded like something Dean Martin should be doing".[8] In the end, "People Like You" continued Fisher's comeback to the charts, but the single and the album slowed the comeback.
