AMEN!! I LOVED this song when I was YOUNG, and then I crushed on my high-school sweetheart. Well, low and be held. It was his favorite song as well as mine. Well, guess what? We fooled around listening to this awesome song and music. We truly FELL IN LOVE and got married. It was fate. Last night, I heard our song by Elvin Bishop. Again, tonight, and it made me think so strongly of my love, my husband in heaven. I was just awakened again with this music playing I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE by Elvin Bishop. I lost my husband my love in 1996 here it is now, 2024 and I've heard the song Twice in the past 24 hours that tells me he is my angel in heaven and he is sending me a message to remind me we fooled around and fell in love.💜💛🤍😇 now it is okay for me to move on

Elvin knew that. He was kicking it around for a year or more. He brought in Mickey as backing vocalist, when he needed another song for “Struttin’ My Stuff”, the producer suggested Fooled Around, but he could never make it work in his blues singer/guitarist style. He suggested Mickey take a stab at it, because he knew a tenor voice would work well with it. The result was pure magic.

The female accompanying him is no joke. She can stay right with him.

i remember hearing this song as a child (maybe 5-6 years old) and being drawn to the vocals in the late 70's. I was BLESSED to grown up in a house where good music was always playing and with parent who had great taste in music across all genres. It wouldnt be until years later that, as a teen, i learned that Mickey was the singer (because as a kid i though Elvin Bishop was lol) only because i was enjoying Starship and specifically, the vocals. Mickey has always been amazing.

Georgia boy who had a voice that was incredible. What a gift.

Mr. Bishop wisely chose Mr. Thomas to sing lead on this song, but the resultant success was far beyond all expectations. Kudos to each person who had a hand in its success, especially Mr. Thomas.

My very first concert was Elvin Bishop, Marshall Tucker, and The Outlaws! Great concert!!! Those were the days! 😊😂❤🎉

Thought at first she was Elvin Bishop's 22yr old daughter who was murdered with Elvin Bishop wife in Concord Calif in 2000 but song was sang in 1975 so his daughter Selina was not even born yet according to Wiki@@dianasouthwick6188

I do believe that that is one of the greatest vocals of all time. I defy anyone not to turn this song up when it comes on the radio. It is one of the best songs ever written too.

This is a song you never get tired of listening to and Mickey Thomas voice is incredible.

If only I could go back in time... I love you Mickey Thomas!!

I too was 14 when this song was a hit. Man can he sing. This was the slow song you wanted to skate with the girls to. 🕺🏻❤️ The 70s was a great time to be young in America. At least in my world it was.

I was 14 too! 💕🌸💕

Amazing voice, the first verses could easily be a studio version, but then you realize it's all live, crazy skills

This song sounds as good today or better than when released. I listen to this track on my headphones and it just blows my mind. Grew up with this music and find it still stands up today.

Mickey has one hell of a voice. Great song!

Mikey Thomas is so awesome in this video, what an awesome Rock and Roll voice right there y'all....

this was when you had to have skills, what a voice, it just rolls off.

This song has always brought a tear to my eye for its truth, Mickey’s phenomenal vocals and Elvin’s soulful lead. Desert Island song for this old rocker.

Hey macmor- Couldn't agree more! Throw in Dylan doing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", some vintage Tower of Power, David Clayton Thomas, Jay Black, Roy Orbison.....oh man...I hope the island next to yours is for sale!

I listened to this song on the radio a thousand times when it came out and thought no big deal. I know better now.

Omg…you’re asking “who is Mickey????” Wtf!

Really good song . I graduated high school . I should've appreciated this kind of music more back then , because there hasn't been much to compare since then .

Elvin Bishop played for our senior class in '74, thought this style of music would last forever but the world had other ideas😢

This is the other song that my husband and I had as our songs! 2 of them! 44 years and still going strong! Love this song ❤

Tulsa’s sheriff~Elvin Bishop; love him and this song. Mickey’s & Reni’s voices are amazing together, & that drummer ooof he’s hot! Classic tale of falling in love . . . 🥰

Look at Mickey’s eyes, he’s definitely on “Something” LoL 😆, Luv it !

I was 9 years old, still remember this on the radio as I sat in the backseat, my parents up front, dad driving...a great period for just about everything!

Without question, on the short list of greatest songs. It is stunningly perfect. Even Mickey couldn't top this performance. Can't think of any singer that could top this.
