Hi David,

a very nice idea. Did you have a specific timeline in mind? Otherwise, I spontaneously jump back a good bit into the past:

PS: does the video play now?

[David Herrick]

Hey, Juergen!

Yes, I was thinking of the 1960’s, plus or minus a few years, but anything’s good. I’ve come up with seven so far, but I didn’t think of the one you posted here!

By the way, although I can see the title, I’m getting a “video unavailable” message. (Update: your new version works; thanks!)

[Jürgen]

We had already talked about Ricky Nelson in another topic. I don’t know if this song was mentioned there. Anyway. It’s a nice song.

[David Herrick]

Yay, that’s the answer to the challenge question! Now what’s his other fool song?

[Jürgen]

Hi David, the bonus challenge I have smoothly overlooked. The text has hidden somewhere under the video link. 🙂

Is this second title of Ricky Nelson wanted?

[David Herrick]

Yes, that’s it!

[Jung Roe]

Hi David, the song that comes to mind immediately for me is this one. This takes me back to the early Beach Boys compilation albums I got in my early teens.

[Tom Fones]

Jung,

be careful.

You did what i’ve been doing. You repeated the URL.

But the link seems to work.

Cheers

[Jung Roe]

Thanks Tom, I fixed my link. I was just about to do “Fool On the Hill”, but you beat me to it. ????

[David Herrick]

Didn’t know the Beach Boys had covered this one, Jung. Very nice!

[Tom Fones]

I can’t believe you all let me submit this one.

Is this an April Fool’s joke ?.

[Jürgen]

We’re all polite people, Tom. We wanted to let you go first.

[Tom Fones]

THANKS EVERYONE! Danke Shoen Alles

[David Herrick]

Ah, another one I overlooked! I’m such a fool…

[Tom Fones]

Great to see Aretha again!

[Tom Fones]

No David, you’re fine.

It’s just the calendar.

Hang in there for another 12 hrs. on the east coast.

Cheers

[David Herrick]

Thanks, Tom! The saving grace is that it’s Friday.

[Jürgen]

I am not sure if this is the original version. The song was also released by „Ray Brown & Whispers“ in 1965. And „The Clovers“ had a song of the same name in the ’40s.

[David Herrick]

I hadn’t heard that one, Juergen, although I know the singer. He touched a lot of kids of our generation with a song called It’s All Right to Cry.

[David Herrick]

I never met a Connie Francis tune that I didn’t like:

[Roger Penn]

This will be a loooong list. There are 25 of them just in my own library.

[Jacki Hopper]

Country singer Dottue West’s …” When Two Fools Collide “, and I’m sure there is a Patsy Cline Song, and a Dusty Springfield song with “Fool” mentioned somewheres ….lol….

Frankie Lymin’s ” Why Do Fools Fall In Love ” …etc

[Diana Geertsen]
