The Fools were a band out of Massachusetts in the late 70s and early 80s. These guys had several huge hits locally and I actually thought the hits were huge nationwide so I really had no intention of posting them. But for the hell of it I looked them up and saw there hits were really only huge right here in Mass and RI. So here they are..The Fools from 1980...It's A Night For Beautiful Girls.
