The story behind
That catchy melody that resonates in *Why Do Fools Fall in Love* has an interesting story behind it. It was the first single released by Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers, and it hit big right from the start. Imagine, it reached the number one spot on the R&B charts in the United States and was also a hit in the United Kingdom, reaching number one on their singles chart. Not only that, but *Rolling Stone* magazine included it on its list of the 500 greatest songs of all time in 2011, at number 307.
The interesting thing is that this song became a standard, and many other artists recorded it, also achieving their own successes. For example, The Diamonds covered it in 1956, and later, The Beach Boys included it on the B-side of their single *Fun, Fun, Fun*, which reached number five on Billboard. Even Diana Ross put her spin on it in 1981, and her version climbed to number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, in addition to being number one in Belgium and the Netherlands. The list of those who lent their voice to it is long and includes names like Gale Storm, Marion Ryan, Alma Cogan, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, and Joni Mitchell.
