Connie Francis – Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool
“Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” was written as a bluesy ballad, and the song was recorded at Olmstead Studios (NYC) during the 1960 recording session when Francis cut the song with the Joe Sherman Orchestra.
The arrangement performed by Connie Francis is noted for its organ introduction.
The song originally recorded by Connie Francis entitled “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” is often confused with an earlier song of the same title written by Ace Adams and Regina Adams. Jimmy Scott re-wrote part of the song but never got credit; instead, Gladys Hampton put her name on it. Originally first recorded by Little Jimmy Scott December 1949 and was a 1950 hit record with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra.
In the US, “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” was intended to serve as the B-side for the track “Jealous of You (Tango della Gelosia)”, which like Francis’s precedent A-side hit “Mama” was a ballad of Italian origin. However, most American radio stations preferred to play “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” and, while “Jealous of You” did reach No. 19, “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 27 June 1960 and remained there the following week.
It was the first song by a female artist to reach the top position of the Hot 100. The first of Francis’s three US No. 1’s, “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool” was also ranked on the R&B chart at No. 2 and was the only one of Francis’s major hits to cross over to the C&W charts where it peaked at No. 24.
