Aaron Neville "Everybody Plays the Fool"


It's a tried-and-true formula from Adult Contemporary artists: remake a classic R&B/Motown tune and then sit back and watch the money roll in. In Aaron Neville's case, he did not call on his old buddy Linda Ronstadt, but instead dusted off the sheet music to The Main Ingredient's "Everybody Plays the Fool" and watched it go to #8 on the Hot 100 (#1 on the Adult Contemporary Chart).
