#93 Fools Fall In Love -- The Drifters (1957)


“Fools Fall in Love” is one of the greatest songs ever written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, although certainly not one of their better-known. This is the original “classic” version of the Drifters that featured Clyde McPhatter, not the later (but equally great) incarnation with Ben E. King that produced such classics as “Under the Boardwalk” and “Up on the Roof.” The original Drifters were also responsible for the greatest version of “White Christmas” ever (sorry Bing), which was featured in the first Home Alone movie.
