People Like You (song)

In 1966 Fisher came back to the charts with his hit single "Games That Lovers Play", which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Easy Listening.^[2] After the success RCA Victor quickly started rushing out his next album and single.

The single debuted on the Easy Listening chart on the 28th of January that year,^[3] and peaked at No. 4 almost a month later.^[4] It also reached No. 97 on the Billboard Hot 100, in which it stayed for 3 weeks.^[5] On Cash Box's Top 100 chart, it peaked at No. 74 during a 6-week stay.^[6][7] On Record World's Top 100 Pops it peaked at No. 61, and on their newly created Top Non-Rock chart "People Like You" debuted at No. 23 and peaked at No. 5 after a month and a half.^[8] The single got No. 36 in the year-end charts of the AC chart in 1967.^[9] It was his last major hit,^[10] with the last minor hit being recorded the same year.

The picture taken for the single cover has the same winter background as in his Games That Lovers Play album's cover, and with him doing the same pose.

William Ruhlmann comments on AllMusic: ""People Like You" sounded like something Dean Martin should be doing".^[11]

Billboard called it a strong follow up to his hit "Games That Lovers Play" and noted that Eddie's TV appearances and smash in-person performances will make the single as hot as "Games".^[12]

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. In the end, "People Like You" continued Fisher's comeback to the charts, but the single and the album slowed the comeback.
