“POOR LITTLE FOOL” by RICKY NELSON

“Poor Little Fool” is a classic rock and roll track that was recorded by American singer (and teen idol), Ricky Nelson. The lyrics within this song describe a player (of sorts) who ends up being challenged (and beaten) at his own game of deception. A major star of his era, Ricky Nelson recorded multiple Top 10 hits, and in 1987, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

What makes this single particularly interesting is the fact that it was the first ever song to top Billboard’s iconic Hot 100 chart.

On this very day, August 5th 1958, it was the #1 song in America. If you’d like to have a listen, please feel free to use the provided link. From his self-titled album, here’s RICKY NELSON, with “POOR LITTLE FOOL”…
