SOUL-BALLADE BESCHERTE ELVIN BISHOP CHART-ERFOLG
- Jul 15, 2021
“Fooled Around And Fell In Love“ (1976) bescherte dem Gitarristen, Sänger und Songschreiber Elvin Bishop mit Platz drei seinen größten Chart-Erfolg in den USA. Sicher war die Soul-Ballade ein gutes Kaufargument für die damals gerade erschienene LP STRUTTIN‘ MY STUFF, allerdings hatte das sechste Album des einstigen Butterfield-Blues-Band-Musikers mit ein paar heißen Funk-Nummern und einer gelungenen Version des Temptations-Hits “My Girl“ viel mehr hochwertigen Stoff zu bieten. Heutzutage wird die Platte von Musik-Fans häufig übersehen, sollte aber unbedingt wiederentdeckt werden.
"Fooled Around And Fell In Love" (1976) gave guitarist, singer and songwriter Elvin Bishop his biggest chart success in the USA, reaching number three. Certainly, the Soul ballad was a good buying point for the then just released LP STRUTTIN' MY STUFF, however, the sixth album of the former Butterfield Blues Band musician had much more quality material to offer with a few hot Funk numbers and a very good version of the Temptations hit "My Girl". Nowadays the record is often overlooked by music fans, but should definitely be rediscovered.
