Barkan had written the hits "I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter" for Connie Francis and "Maybe I Know" for Lesley Gore, while Millrose had written the Gene Pitney hit "Last Chance to Turn Around" and would later write "This Girl Is a Woman Now" for Gary Puckett & the Union Gap.
This prolific songwriter has written numerous songs including Lesley Gore's Top 5 hit "She's a Fool," the often covered "Pretty Flamingo," which was a hit single for Manfred Mann in 1966; "I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter," which was a hit for Connie Francis in 1963; and "The Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana)," which entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1969.
"That's the Way Boys Are" is a song written by Mark Barkan and Ben Raleigh and initially sung by Lesley Gore and released in 1964 as a single and on Gore's 3rd album Boys, Boys, Boys.
