It’s hard for me to tell if Sanford Clark is country. In ’56, Elvis was topping the Country, Pop and R&B charts with his blend of those forms and so Sanford Clark might be country or he might be Elvis. His song, proclaiming that he is the titular fool, musically explores at lot of Elvis’ territory without adding anything new. Elvis himself explored the fool angle a little while later with “Now and Then (There’s a Fool Such As I).” Have I mentioned yet that this sounds a little like Elvis? He’s no Gene Vincent, but he’s close.
