1961 single by Ike & Tina Turner
"Poor Fool" is a song written and produced by Ike Turner. It was released by Ike & Tina Turner on Sue Records in 1961.[1]
Release
"Poor Fool" is the second single from Ike & Tina Turner`s 1962 album Dynamite!. An earlier version of the song, "A Fool Too Long," was released in 1960.[2] "Poor Fool" was released as the follow-up to the Grammy nominated single "It`s Gonna Work Out Fine" in November 1961. The record became the duo`s second hit record of the year. They promoted it on American Bandstand in January 1962 which helped propel the single to No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 4 on the R&B chart.[3][4][5] The song was also included in their 1963 album It`s Gonna Work Out Fine.[6]
The B-side track "You Can`t Blame Me" was taken from their debut album The Soul of Ike & Tina Turner.
Critical reception
Cash Box (November 18, 1961):
Ike & Tina Turner come thru in sensational follow-up (to "It`s Gonna Work Out Fine") fashion with this new Sue slice. It`s a pounding, chorus-backed rock-a-cha-cha, tabbed "Poor Fool," that vocalist Tina and maestro Ike deck out with sock, dual-mart sales authority. Should spread like wild fire in the days to come. Flip`s a fetching thump-a-rhythm entry that highlites a delightful vocal duet by Ike & Tina.[1]
