David Bromberg plays "Fool For You" chords
Start Jamming...
Fool For You is a fairly early Ray Charles tune,
and I think he did it before he did Drown In My Own Tears.
And if you're going to do Drown In My Own Tears,
you need three really good backup singers,
and I sometimes do it.
But the guitar part to it, to me, or the piano part to it,
to me, was never as interesting as the piano part on Fool
For You, which is in 6-8 time, and it's very church.
Stephen, you and I have probably spent more time
in African-American churches than any two Jewish boys either
one of us knows.
And the time that I spent in those churches
is important to me not only musically,
but it's important to my heart.
And to anybody who is watching this video,
if you ever feel [F#] alone and unloved,
go to an African-American church,
because that's the place in my life
I've always felt most welcome.
