2 months agoA Pack of April Fools
Everybody plays the fool sometime, Dave Dionne Warwick sang this Burt Bacharach-Hal David theme song for a 1969 romantic comedy starring Jack Lemmon and Catherine Deneuve before Aretha Franklin covered it on her Young, Gifted and Black LP three years later. The intro to the Queen of Soul's arrangement is giving Jingle Bells, but it quickly settles into a soulful boogie with a soaring chorus where new love is trailed by doubt: Are we just April fools / who can't see all the danger around?
