<<<THE T⏳ME CAPSULE<<<

POOR LITTLE FOOL

Ricky Nelson

1958

U.K. - #4; U.S.A. - #1

Trivia:

Ricky Nelson not only performed "Poor Little Fool", but produced the single. The song was written by Sharon Sheeley. She was dating Eddie Cochran who had scored the hit "Summertime Blues". The couple were on tour in Britain when they decided to return to America and get married. While sharing a taxi to the airport with rocker Gene Vincent on April 17, 1960, one of the vehicle's tyres burst. The cab hit a lamppost. Sheeley and Vincent suffered serious injuries, but Cochran later died of critical head injuries.
