Why Do Fools Fall In Love


"Why Do Fools Fall In Love" is a beautiful song from the 1950s. That saxophone is quite delectable, too! The group was also integrated, with 3 African Americans and 2 Puerto Ricans. One can tell Lymon had a lot of talent, with that soaring voice booming. Like much doo wop and rock from this period, it's drenched in the blues and jazz idioms rooted in the blues form, as the brief saxophone solo illustrates. "Tell me why, why do fools fall in love?"
