LYRICS:
What kind of fool am I
Who never fell in love
It seems that I'm the only one
That I have been thinking of?
What kind of man is this
An empty shell
A lonely cell in which
An empty heart must dwell?
What kind of lips are these
That lied with every kiss
That whispered empty words of love
That left me alone like this?
Why can't I fall in love
Like any other man
And maybe then I'll know
What kind of fool I am?

"What Kind of Fool Am I?" is a popular song written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley and published in 1962. It was introduced by Anthony Newley in the musical Stop The World - I Want To Get Off. It comes at the end of Act Two to close the show. Bricusse and Newley received the 1961 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically, and the 1963 Grammy Award for Song of the Year, becoming the first Britons to do so. The song was a hit for Sammy Davis Jr. in the year of its publication, peaking at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and at #6 on the Billboard Easy Listening chart. - Wikipedia
Ever wonder why there could be so many versions of the same songs in the 1940s-1960s while today no one that I know of (and I know almost nothing of modern music) sings someone else’s music. Could it possibly have something to do with QUALITY? These songs can never be popular again (sadly) because in the change of WORLDVIEW in most people. There once was a strong Chr1st1an Worldview in America that once made this music possible even if the composers were non-Chr1st1an…

SAME SONG IN THE PAST by Prof Howdy:

Easy listening (sometimes known as mood music) is a popular music genre and radio format that was most popular during the 1950s to 1970s. It is related to middle-of-the-road (MOR) music and encompasses instrumental recordings of standards, hit songs and popular non-rock vocals generally hit songs from the previous three decades & enhanced with mostly soft strings (Mantovani, Percy Faith, etc.) & Pops Orchestra (Arthur Fiedler, etc.). Easy Listening sounds had it’s origins between the Big Band Era & Rock & Roll. Studies have shown that more than half the population is tone deaf & unable to distinguish the differences between “Easy Listening” music & “Elevator Music”. The main difference is depth of instrumentation of the orchestra & PASSION!

Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, “How can I help?” That’s exactly what J.e.s.u.s did. He didn’t make it easy for Himself by avoiding people’s troubles but waded right in and helped out.
