Wikipedia article




"'A Fool For A Fool'" is a song written by Ike Turner, and released by R&B duo Ike & Tina Turner in 1964.

Release



"A Fool For A Fool" was written by Ike Turner produced by Buck Ram. Ram wrote and produced the B-side "No Tears To Cry." Released as a non-album track in April 1964, the single reached No. 47 on the 'Cash Box' R&B chart. At the time of the release, 'Billboard' magazine had discontinued their R&B singles chart from November 30, 1963 to January 23, 1965. 'Billboard' therefore uses 'Cash Box' magazine's stat in their place.

"A Fool For A Fool" was reissued on the compilation album 'The Ike & Tina Turner Story: 19601975' in 2007.

Critical reception



'Cash Box' (May 2, 1964): "Chances are Ike & Tina Turner will get back on the big hit track with this Warner Bros. bow. Side to watch is 'A Fool For A Fool,' an infectious rock-a-rhythmic cha cha weeper that has Ike's instrumentalists tastefully backing up Tina's winning (partly) multi-tracked vocal. Backing's a heartfelt beat-balled opus that also rates attention."
