Check out the Ray Charles "Fool for You." I remember it being hard to find at one time on his albums but it's still a good one.

tangent: "fool" used in lyric (rather than title)

hope you don't mind. couple come to mind:

"Don't you know little fool, you never can win?"
--I've Got You Under My Skin

"Lord knows I'm not a fool girl, I really shouldn't care...."
--Mad About the Boy

Nobody's Fool from Alex Chilton's High Priest. It's a cover but I don't know who did the original. Great song.

Joe Ely (I think Butch Hancock wrote it):

Wise man hits the bottom, lord, a fool just falls on through.
