What A Fool Believes – The Mighty Untouchables (Doobie Bros/Aretha Franklin cover)

***Now available on iTunes***
This is our spin on the classic ‘What A Fool Believes’. Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins co-wrote this Grammy-winning song, but many people don’t know that Aretha Franklin covered the song herself. Inspired by her 1980 version and a bunch of our favorite session musicians, here’s our take.
