    Whose first hit as a songwriter was 'The Fool' recorded by Sanford Clark in 1956?

    Question #91200. Asked by BRY2K. (Jan 16 08 2:55 PM)

    		Al Casey (guitarist), a friend since school told local disc jockey Lee Hazlewood to go listen to Sanford. Hazlewood was impressed with Sanford's voice. He was looking for somebody to record a song he had just written. About a week later he took Sanford into Floyd Ramsey's studio with Al Casey. They recorded "The Fool". Hazlewood gave his wife, Naomi Ford, the songwriting credit for "The Fool" because it was a time when you couldn't be a producer, manager and writer at the same time.
