    A classic R&B song from the early 1990s is striking a powerful chord with listeners today, proving its timeless message about guarding one's heart.

    "Don't Want to Be a Fool," performed by the legendary Luther Vandross, was originally released in June 1991. It served as the second single from his hit album *Power of Love*. Written and produced by Vandross alongside collaborator Marcus Miller, the song was a major success, climbing to number four on the Billboard R&B chart and reaching the top ten of the all-genre Hot 100 chart that fall.

    While it was a chart-topper in its era,in the 90’s, I wasn’t a big fan of the song. However, upon hearing it again recently, I found myself completely absorbed by its mood and the song's core message.

    The lyrics, particularly the resolved chorus, "Well, I've decided I can't let nobody hurt me again / So I'll say to the end / I just don't want to be a fool," are being embraced as an anthem of self-protection and emotional wisdom.

    This renewed appreciation highlights how Vandross's soulful delivery and the song's enduring theme continue to connect, offering a powerful soundtrack for anyone determined to learn from past hurts and move forward with stronger boundaries.

    Intro by: Gail Nobles
    Keyboardist: Gail Nobles

    Male Voice: The tunes we enjoyed in our youth, like those catchy AM radio hits, develop an emotional resonance.

    Female Voice: Those musical memories hold a special place in our hearts, reminding us of the joy & heartbreak.

    Rock ‘n’ Me is a song by American rock band Steve Miller Band, released in 1976 as the second single from the band's ninth studio album Fly Like an Eagle (1976). It was written by primary band leader and songwriter Steve Miller. Miller also produced the song and album.

    The song achieved lasting commercial and critical success, with the publication Billboard labeling it "an immediate audience grabber". It became the band's second #1 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed at the top for one week; it also topped the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart.[11] In later years, the song has been included in several compilation albums such as 1978's Greatest Hits 1974–78 and 1991's The Very Best of the Steve Miller Band.

    In those old AM radio days it seemed like the song was number one forever. Radio played the song to death past the year it became number one. What a memorable song.

    I'm Gail Nobles! Thank you for listening to Podcast AM Memories.
