AMEN!! I LOVED this song when I was YOUNG, and then I crushed on my high-school sweetheart. Well, low and be held. It was his favorite song as well as mine. Well, guess what? We fooled around listening to this awesome song and music. We truly FELL IN LOVE and got married. It was fate. Last night, I heard our song by Elvin Bishop. Again, tonight, and it made me think so strongly of my love, my husband in heaven. I was just awakened again with this music playing I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE by Elvin Bishop. I lost my husband my love in 1996 here it is now, 2024 and I've heard the song Twice in the past 24 hours that tells me he is my angel in heaven and he is sending me a message to remind me we fooled around and fell in love.💜💛🤍😇 now it is okay for me to move on

Elvin knew that. He was kicking it around for a year or more. He brought in Mickey as backing vocalist, when he needed another song for “Struttin’ My Stuff”, the producer suggested Fooled Around, but he could never make it work in his blues singer/guitarist style. He suggested Mickey take a stab at it, because he knew a tenor voice would work well with it. The result was pure magic.

The list of artist that have earned the title of 'legend' is long and incredible. From Woodstock to the Beatles to the Rolling Stones to Jackson Brown to the Eagles and so, so many more'. Our parents were often referred to as the 'Greatest Generation', well, we damn sure are the luckiest. Our playlist will never grow old or die....who are your favorites?

Golden? More like UNOBTANIUM, nowadays people think Taylor Swift is vocal excellence. Even though Adele or Beth Hart can blow her out of the water. I worked for a radio station in '85 and got to hear Ann Wilson warm up before a Heart show, she shook the walls, concrete, and unplugged!! Her sister Nancy apologized and said Ann was under the weather, lol. I was 12' away and my chair was shaking ffs!! If that was under the weather, I'd be scared to hear her that close when she was on point and one hundred percent.

His vocal range is phenomenal, and his phrasing and improvising are so heartfelt, you know he’s not not just going through the motions. Mickey works the audience methodically toward the payoff, that fantastic guitar solo. No wonder these guys were referred to as “the best bar band in the world.”

Hey macmor- Couldn't agree more! Throw in Dylan doing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", some vintage Tower of Power, David Clayton Thomas, Jay Black, Roy Orbison.....oh man...I hope the island next to yours is for sale!

Anybody driving with me when this song comes on the radio has to endure the solo being played at maximum volume (11!!). All conversations must stop. Between Mickey Thomas' vocals and Elvin Bishop's chops, this is one of the best songs to come out of the glory days of rock - the 70's baby!!!

i remember hearing this song as a child (maybe 5-6 years old) and being drawn to the vocals in the late 70's. I was BLESSED to grown up in a house where good music was always playing and with parent who had great taste in music across all genres. It wouldnt be until years later that, as a teen, i learned that Mickey was the singer (because as a kid i though Elvin Bishop was lol) only because i was enjoying Starship and specifically, the vocals. Mickey has always been amazing.
