“Fool For You” #22 11/16/1968

Our third day in a row featuring acts with deep Chicago roots. The Impressions’ R&B Top 5 here is unusual in several ways. It’s the only hit record I can think of that was written in 9/8 time. Curtis Mayfield, the song’s writer, would normally tune his guitar to an open F# chord - very uncommon, but it worked.
