RECORDINGS:
Scott Dunbar, "Who Been Foolin' You" (on USDunbarS01)
NOTES [124 words]: The idea for Dunbar's song seems to come from L. J. Waiters with Cliff Driver's Band "Baby Who's Been Foolin' You" (Unity 2709, 1969).
Omitting Waiters's spoken interjections, he begins his song, "Baby, who been foolin' you, Baby, who been foolin' you, It's three times seven and you should know what you want to do." Waiters does not sing the "three times seven" line again in his recording.
Dunbar begins his song, "Tell me who been foolin' you, Well you three times seven and you do know what you want to do." Dunbar adds those lines to his chorus of "Tell me who baby, Tell me who been foolin' you." I assume "baby" is over twenty-one and old enough, the singer thinks, to know what she wants to do.
Dunbar's verses are not like Waiters's. - BS
