| - Love's Made a Fool of You is a song co-written and originally performed by Buddy Holly. It was later re-recorded by Sonny Curtis and The Crickets, with the lead vocal by Earl Sinks, and famously covered by the Bobby Fuller Four. Buddy Holly first wrote the song in 1954. It wasn't until 1958 that it was recorded as an Everly Brothers demo, which wasn't released until 1962 on the posthumous Peggy Sue Got MarriedEP. The first public release of "Love's Made a Fool of You", however, was by the Crickets, headed by Sonny Curtis in 1959. It was released as a single from In Style with the Crickets, stayed on the U.K. singles chart for two weeks, peaking at #26. The Crickets' version was accidentally included on the 1972 compilation album Buddy Holly: A Rock and Roll Collection, even though Holly does not appear on the track. (The same mistake was made on 1997's The Very Best of Buddy Holly.)
