Ok, my YDG post for today is one of my very favorite George songs -- top 5 overall and #1 slow song, the wonderful "Kissing a Fool." This is early solo George and his voice is simply amazing. Love the black and white video, which totally channels the classic 40's era the song evokes.
As for the "look": Cotton white shirt with "guinea" T underneath, Geo singing into an old school mike with old school fans everywhere, classically handsome! My personal favorite part of the song comes at around the 3:30 mark when George steps up and belts out :
"But remember this
Every other kiss
That you ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man
One you really can surrender with
I will wait for you
Like i always do
There's something there
That can't compare with any other"
Full disclosure: I have sung this part of the song, while dancing closely, to countless birds. And yes, look left, it resides on the fabled "Chateau Mix!"
Enjoy this wonderful throwback of a song --

Look left -- I have used this on countless birds. When did this "bird" thing become in vogue?
As they say on American Idol, song choice is everything. And Greg, today you have chosen well. I LOVE this one. It is indeed a tried and true Geo classic.
The look is beyond the pale. Based on the last names of the editors of YDH, all will appreciate the guinnea T. A gaylordian classic.
A word about YDG: Come on people! We need to get our game back up there!
Thanks for a great post, Grego. YDG is nothing without you!
I absolutely love this song. Because I am tired, I first thought it was KHD writing this and when I read the part about singing it to "birds" I got the visual of Kitty in her room literally singing to birds outside her window. And then I laughed for a good couple minutes because the song was playing at the same time and well, it's just a great visual.
Though, I confess, I have blasted this song and belted it out within the confines of my home. I recommend this to anyone, it is great cardio.
