who sang i fooled around and fell in love
Fooled Around and Fell in Love "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" is a single written and performed by blues guitarist Elvin Bishop. It appeared on his 1975 album Struttin' My Stuff and was released as a single the following year. Bishop does not sing lead vocals on the track; feeling that his gravelly voice wouldn't do the song justice, he invited vocalist Mickey Thomas, who was a background singer in his band at the time, to sing it. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in May 1976.[1] The record was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America on June 23, 1976.[2] In Canada, the song reached number 22 on the singles chart[3] and number 8 on the Adult Contemporary chart.[4] The song became a Gold record.
Falling in love The use of the term "falling in love " comes from the love between Hazem and Sana that equates becoming in love with the act of falling. The metaphor appears to emphasize that the process is in some way uncontrollable and risky—as in the phrases "to fall ill" or "to fall into a trap"—and that it leaves the lover in a state of vulnerability.[citation needed]
