This is an introspective ballad that was not typical of most Rolling Stones songs. It finds Mick Jagger feeling down on himself, and getting comfort first from his daughter, then from his lover. Both tell him he's "a fool to cry." With Mick Taylor gone, The Stones were auditioning lead guitarists while recording Black And Blue. American session man Wayne Perkins played on this and almost got the job, but Ron Wood beat him out.
There are a few possible new Stones on this album, the process of replacing Mick Taylor was captured in part by the presence of Perkins and Harvey Mandel. Ronnie Wood, of course, ended up with the gig. Saw them in '75 in Toronto, the following year in Orchard Park, New York, near Buffalo. Greatest R'n'R band in the world, baby. 😊❤
You’ll never go wrong with the Stones… I notice you saying ‘this is different for them ‘ but what makes them so great is everything they do is different … it always has that Stones vibe but they can do anything and do it very well . Looking forward to what comes next for you on this journey… hoping Midnight Rambler is coming !!
What a nice Stones video to see the more sedate Mick close up. Never heard him growl before. Thank you, Scott! Ahhh…sweetheart…loving you. With good reason.
Nicky wasn't in the video but he is playing the piano on the song. Mick played the electric keys. Ronnie had just joined the band and wayne played the slide guitar on the song.
This is the studio version with Mick doing live vocals over it. That was common back then for videos before the MTV age. They did the same thing for Brown Sugar on Top of the Pops. Live vocals by Mick but the rest the studio recording. Charlie even had cardboard covers on his drum heads for that one.
Thanks Scotty! Great pick! I must be a fool. I made it through the song without tearing up but then L33 had to go hit me in the feels 😢 That’s why I love this channel. Great music mixed with great commentary! ☮️❤🎵🥲
Hello to all y'all. Been out working in the butterfly gardens again so I'm late for everything. I guess I'll catch up later. Wow look at Mick, he looks like a child. I just saw him in a clip where he was just dancing away at a concert not very long ago. "When a legend becomes fact print the legend"
Lee that was an exceptional reaction you never disappoint but this one you came in heavy with the ending commentary that was heart-wrenching❤ Also one of the main reasons I subscribed because your authenticity always shines through.
The credits that you were referencing apply to the record "Black & Blue", while the video was a live clip. Ron Wood is the guitarist playing on the clip, while Wayne Perkins played on the album. "Black & Blue" was a strange period for The Stones. Their previous guitarist, Mick Taylor, left the band, and this album showed them trying out different guitarists on different songs. Despite these circumstances, this is, IMO, an underrated album. There are many GREAT songs on it---"Memory Motel", "Fool To Cry", "Hands Of Fate"---and is well worth checking out.
A fun antedate about "Fool to Cry" - when filming Star Wars: the Empire Strikes Back, in 1979, in film studios near London, Mark Hamill heard this song. Mark H' has said in an interview or more, that on the Degobagh set, he had to wear an ear-mic' to hear the off-stage dialogue of Yoda, or direction. Hamill, at one point, caught BBC Radio, not studio talk. He says in a SW's documentary that he paused, and exclaimed, "hey, I've got the Stones, Fool to Cry" and the voice from the studio returned with like "Mark, get back in character" 😀🤫
Trust and communication is key in every relationship. Yeah it's funny how kids change whenever the hormones hit them. Never stop talking just like in the division bell.
Dude. They frequently did vids where they just showed the band, using the studio track with whatever musicians were actually on the tune, and Jagger is lip syncing and the rest of pretending to play. No joke. I probably remember more about this band than they do.
I'm in the minority who has always thought Black and Blue is a cool album. But Jagger's face and mouth in extreme close-up is giving me second thoughts. ('Exile on Friday'?)
… When I come home baby And I've been working all night long I put my daughter on my knee, and she says Daddy what's wrong? She whispers in my ear so sweet You know what she says, she says Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry And it makes me wonder why … Daddy you're a fool You know, I got a woman (daddy you're a fool) And she lives in the poor part of town And I go see her sometimes And we make love, so fine I put my head on her shoulder She says, tell me all your troubles You know what she says? She says, ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry And it makes me wonder why … Daddy you're a fool to cry Yeah, she says Oh, Daddy you're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry And it makes me wonder why … She says, ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry … Even my friends say to me sometimes And make out like I don't understand them You know what they say? They say, ooh daddy you're a fool to cry You're a fool to cry And it makes me wonder why, ah … I'm a fool baby, ah ya I'm a certified fool, ah yeah Gotta tell ya, baby I'm a fool baby, ah yeah Whoo Certified fool for ya, mama, ya, yeah, come on, yeah I'm a fool, yeah
Great choice Lee as always like 99.9% of the things you react to are amazing… Thank you… Do you want to hear a funky sound play? Hey Negrita from the same album😊❤
Fingerprint File, Winter, Undercover of the Night, Luxury........then the best pocket drummer ever slapping everyone around in Street Fighting Man from Get Yer Ya Ya's our really f*cking loud. Thank me later.

This one has been a favourite forever , such a classic.I know, right.. Charlie Watts is just such a great drummer.
This one is right up there among my favourite Stones songs. Mick has so much swag it’s ridiculous!
Great song and great choice for today even though Nicky isn’t in the video. Nicky Hopkins died on this day 30 years ago in 1994. RIP ✌️♥️🎶
Wow how ironic ❤
Drugs included !
🌸 just remember daddy, it's okay to be vulnerable in front of your children.... it helps teach them to be real.
Just another gem from peak Stones.
This is one of my favorite Stones songs ... thank you Scott
Absolutely ❤
same here, favourite Stones song

Bought this album when it first came out. Fool To Cry is one of my favorite Stones song.
I love this song! The chorus, and that final chord change. Yet another great Stones song that gets no air play!!! "Daddy, you're a Fool to Cry."
There are a few possible new Stones on this album, the process of replacing Mick Taylor was captured in part by the presence of Perkins and Harvey Mandel. Ronnie Wood, of course, ended up with the gig. Saw them in '75 in Toronto, the following year in Orchard Park, New York, near Buffalo. Greatest R'n'R band in the world, baby. 😊❤
One of the finest songs by the Stones.
Black and Blue has been referred to as the guitar player audition album. Ronnie was picked, so this is the band's new lineup in a promo video.
You’ll never go wrong with the Stones… I notice you saying ‘this is different for them ‘ but what makes them so great is everything they do is different … it always has that Stones vibe but they can do anything and do it very well . Looking forward to what comes next for you on this journey… hoping Midnight Rambler is coming !!
Yep. Another great one.
The Stones had a wide music range for a rock band. Small wonder they survived so long.
I bought this album when it came out and kinda liked it. I bought it cause I really liked the album before it ,Its Only Rock N Roll
What a nice Stones video to see the more sedate Mick close up. Never heard him growl before.
Thank you, Scott!
Ahhh…sweetheart…loving you. With good reason.
🎉💯❤️🎶
They do it all, don't they? ❤😊
Underrated song.
One of my favourite EVER 70s songs. Beautifully done.
🌸 I've always thought this was a beautiful song
Nicky wasn't in the video but he is playing the piano on the song. Mick played the electric keys. Ronnie had just joined the band and wayne played the slide guitar on the song.

Great band, great music
I can't get it out of my head when Keith called Mick Brenda LOL
Hell ya !!!! Rock on dude. Black and Blue is my fav album of the Stones !!!
Hand Of Fate is a great Stones tune from this album.
Sensitive song 👍
This should have been a bigger hit for the Stones. Thanks Scotty.
Absolutely ❤
Black and Blue was dismissed by critics, but it’s the one Stones album that all diehard Stones fans seem to love.
Congratulations on the 4 years 🙏🏻❤️
Another song with a similar feel is " Memory Motel."
One of my absolute faves....❤
The late great Charlie Watts inscrutable as ever . RIP Charlie.
Simply gorgeous
Emotion in every note
Nice one Lee!
Live Midnight Rambler ❤
Thanks Scotty! Great pick! I must be a fool. I made it through the song without tearing up but then L33 had to go hit me in the feels 😢
That’s why I love this channel. Great music mixed with great commentary!

Anecdote - not antedate - spellcheck mistake!!!
I recommend the song "Melody".
Trust and communication is key in every relationship. Yeah it's funny how kids change whenever the hormones hit them. Never stop talking just like in the division bell.
Dude. They frequently did vids where they just showed the band, using the studio track with whatever musicians were actually on the tune, and Jagger is lip syncing and the rest of pretending to play. No joke. I probably remember more about this band than they do.
Can I request a track? Does your friend have the following Stones track on the list? “Sway” by Stones from Sticky Fingers album.
I'm in the minority who has always thought Black and Blue is a cool album. But Jagger's face and mouth in extreme close-up is giving me second thoughts. ('Exile on Friday'?)
… When I come home baby
And I've been working all night long
I put my daughter on my knee, and she says
Daddy what's wrong?
She whispers in my ear so sweet
You know what she says, she says
Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why
… Daddy you're a fool
You know, I got a woman (daddy you're a fool)
And she lives in the poor part of town
And I go see her sometimes
And we make love, so fine
I put my head on her shoulder
She says, tell me all your troubles
You know what she says?
She says, ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why
… Daddy you're a fool to cry
Yeah, she says
Oh, Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why
… She says, ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry
Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry
Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry
Ooh, daddy you're a fool to cry
… Even my friends say to me sometimes
And make out like I don't understand them
You know what they say?
They say, ooh daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
And it makes me wonder why, ah
… I'm a fool baby, ah ya
I'm a certified fool, ah yeah
Gotta tell ya, baby
I'm a fool baby, ah yeah
Whoo
Certified fool for ya, mama, ya, yeah, come on, yeah
I'm a fool, yeah
Keith and Ronnie Wood on guitar.
Although Ronnie Wood is in the video, he didn't play on the recording (Wayne Perkins did).
Yeah they’re in the video for sure. But the studio was Wayne and Keith I believe
@@rockandrollpaddy oops, my bad
Backing track Mick sang to
🌸 okay so where is Charlie ??
500 Subs Away From 30K!!!! ❤
400 Subs Away from 30K❤
Ronnie Wood and Keith on guitars3
In the video, yeah. Not the actual track though. It’s Wayne Perkins and Keith.
Much better songs on this album are: Hand of Fate, Hey Negrita, Crazy Mama and Memory Motel.
No not another lip sync vid. Please!!
The vocals are live. The instrumentation is a tape, a very common practice on live television back in the day.
Machismo, holding back male emotions didn't start in the 1980s, it didn't even start in the 1880s. The reverse only really started in the 1970s.
