Show Notes

Fool

There are a surprising number of songs with ‘Fool’ in the title. Cultural icon Elvis starts the program with A Fool Such As I. Popular band the Doobie bros follow with their big hit What A Fool Believes and later the Beatles chip in with the Paul McCartney classic The Fool On The Hill. Two prodigious female singers who burst onto the music scene at an early age are Lulu with the ballad Oh Me Oh MY (I’m A Fool For You) and Brenda Lee with one of her many hits Fool No 1. Aussie band Ray Brown And The Whispers present their version of the old song Fool Fool Fool.

In this program our podcaster, Penn, takes centre stage and chooses songs they have some connection with. Many songs are associated with Penn growing up and family such as Father And Son, Cats In The Cradle and from his infancy Cradle Of Love. Penn tells stories of sadness and joy and yearning for a simpler time like Mary Hopkin in Those Were The Days.
