"My Kind of Lady" was the second single from Supertramp`s 1982 album …Famous Last Words…. The song is a `50`s-style mid-tempo love ballad; it peaked at #16 on the USA Billboard Adult Contemporary and #31 on the USA Billboard pop singles charts.[2] The lead and backing vocals were all sung by Davies, who harmonizes with himself by switching between his natural voice and a falsetto vocal. The echo-treated and natural sounding voice was sung in Davies` baritone. The falsetto passages were double tracked and mixed with a phaser. Despite being released as a single, the track was not performed live.
The song`s writing credits are given to Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, members of the band, although as indicated on the album sleeve, it is a Davies composition. Like John Lennon and Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Davies and Hodgson joined writer`s credits from 1974 until 1983, when Hodgson left Supertramp to pursue a solo career.[3]

"My Kind of Lady" was the second single from Supertramp`s 1982 album …Famous Last Words…. The song is a `50`s-style mid-tempo love ballad; it peaked at #16 on the USA Billboard Adult Contemporary and #31 on the USA Billboard pop singles charts.[2] The lead and backing vocals were all sung by Davies, who harmonizes with himself by switching between his natural voice and a falsetto vocal. The echo-treated and natural sounding voice was sung in Davies` baritone. The falsetto passages were double tracked and mixed with a phaser. Despite being released as a single, the track was not performed live.
The song`s writing credits are given to Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, members of the band, although as indicated on the album sleeve, it is a Davies composition.

Cash Box predicted that the song would be successful based on the "minimal production, Rick Davies’ trademark falsetto and a catchy sax solo."[4] Billboard praised the song`s "sense of fun" and said it is a throwback to 1956 with "chunky piano, bleating sax, and rhymes you can quote before you`ve heard them."[5]
