Sanford Clark isn’t as well known as his early rock n’ roll and rockabilly peers, even though “The Fool” (1956), his biggest hit, charted on three formats: pop, R&B, and Country, and has had numerous covers, including one by Elvis Presley.
Clark died earlier this month, at 85 y/o, and, luckily, his oeuvre has been preserved; a 34-song CD package is available from German based Bear Family Records.
ATTENTION AFICIONADOS: Dave Sholin recommends “Lonesome For A Letter,” the flip side of “The Fool.

Sorry to hear about Sanford Clark. “The Fool” is still a total classic and so is the flip side “Lonesome for a Letter”. Clark had a lot of great songs, “Love Charms”, “The Man Who Made an Angel Cry” ,
“A Cheat”, “9 Lb. Hammer” and many more.
Thank You and R.I.P. Sanford Clark.
