When I moved into my home here, on the hill, in 2007, I adopted “Fool On the Hill” as my theme song.
Sergio Mendes‘ pop bossa nova sound combined with vocalist Lani Hall’s sultry style introduced U.S. fans to something a little more complex than the pop syrup of Jeannie C. Riley or Bobby Goldsboro. I prefer Mendes and Hall’s recording over the songwriter’s, Paul McCartney.
My music awakening began thanks to CKLW radio in Windsor, Ontario traveling all the way across Lake Erie to my home in Cleveland and my brother’s and sister’s beginning music collections.
Your interpretation of “Fool on the Hill”, like my peaceful and adventurous life, may vary.
