Tams - What Kind Of Fool (Do You Think I Am)

Of all the great songs the Tams ever recorded, "What Kind Of Fool" was their only national hit, making it into the Top Ten in January of 1964. The recording remains a beach music standard of the first rate.

This is the same tune as "You Won't Do Right" by Art Neville (Aaron's bro). Does anybody know which record was released first? I think Art's was. I smell a lawsuit!

@whathefck1 Art's was in 1963 and "What Kind Of Fool" came the following year. I'm sure if any lawsuit was to be involved, it would have been settled years ago.

Back when they made real Love songs. If only I could turn back the hands of time,

From an era that will never return, but will never be forgotten.

Thanks Mike.

Peace.

Wouldn't it be nice to go back in time. I'd probably make the same mistakes but at least I would have good music to listen to.

@rokoping 1963 was a very good year for me, too. I have very fond memories of that year.

I had a brother that was in the service with Richard Pryor. My brother was so cool and was over ten years my senior. Fun to talk to and he LOVED this number. He's passed on and I can't hear this without thinking of him and how much fun our family had. He had a great sense of humor and he said he and Richard used to crack up together. And Mr. Pryor was in the army book with him, so he really was in with him.

I saw them my one and only time at Rhett Butler's in Augusta, GA, 1975. Joe Pope walked around the audience and handed me the mic. I am sure I sounded great since I was 3 sheets in the wind. LOL

What a fun and talented group, never for get them nor their music!
