As with other areas of pop culture, the pop/rock music scene in the early-to-mid 1980s experienced a resurgence of the styles and trends of the 1950s and early 1960s. Artists such as The Stray Cats, The Honeydrippers and Tracey Ullman recorded singles that were heavily inspired by the sounds of the early rock era, and which were very well-received by the listening public. Joining them was the popular rock band Supertramp, with the melodic "My Kind of Lady."
"My Kind of Lady" was the second single to be released from the group's 1982 album "...Famous Last Words...". Debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in late January 1983, it achieved a peak position of #31 approximately one month later. The song also gave the group their second Billboard Adult Contemporary chart hit, peaking at #16.
You can view the promotional video for the song on YouTube:
While "My Kind of Lady" did not appear on Supertramp's first hits compilation, Classics, Vol. 9, it has been featured on several more recent collections, as well as "...Famous Last Words...", which is currently in print.
