Brooks' version was one of eight tracks recorded with Dudgeon in 1980 for her 1981 twelve - track album release Pearls which also included four of Brooks' previous hit singles: Brooks (quote) - "Most of (Pearl's new) material had been chosen by (A&M exec) Derek Green or Gus Dudgeon . I had insisted that we did (sic)' Fool ...' . Chris Rea has always been one of my favourite musicians and writers and I thought the song was pure class ." </P>
