No fooling, this look at songs with “fool” in the title in honor of April Fools Day is over! This may fool some people as the top spot song on a list from me, but hey, what can I say. I love this song, so that’s why it sits atop the list of favorites. #1: Everybody Plays the Fool - The Main Ingredient And you know that I had no idea that was Cuba Gooding Jr.’s dad singing lead on this song until the senior Gooding passed away in 2017! This is just about as perfect an early 70s soul song as you can get. And, while I love Aaron Neville’s beautiful cover, I’ll go to the original every time. No fooling!! Thanks for reading. Everybody Plays the Fool Written by J.R. Bailey, Rudy Clark, and Ken Williams Recorded by The Main Ingredient From Bitter Sweet, 1972 Heaven on earth is all you see:
