Probably this song has been mentioned before but I thought that I would venture it again What an absolutely cooooooool song this is I love the smooth jazz feel this song gives and Karen's phrasing of the word' door' near the end and the ' ooooo' at the end :oWOW what real wonderful song

Karen's voice is so full and amazing in this song. It has such presence that she fills the entire room. This is a wonderful song to turn way up and focus on Karen's voice. With a little different arrangement, add a steel guitar, it could also be a great country song.

I like this song Karens voice is beautiful as usual I like the jazz feel to this one. It does have that "open air" feel to it as if Karen is in a club when she sings it. I imagine a smokey room in a jazz club Karen up front accompanied but her band (sorry Richard) and seducing her audience with this song. It just seems to have that Cotton Club quality to it.

Hi All, This has got to be one of the underrated gems in Karen's career. Man, that girl could have sung anything!! She had such a natural, God-given talent. This song just shows the effortless talent she had and imagine a whole album of jazzy-bluesy songs of her renditions would be out of this world!!

Oh boy Cam are you so right. Karen would have made an absolutely "knock you socks off" jazz album. I just love "This Masquerade". I understand Karen did the drumming for this song. What an amazing job! I never, ever get tired of hearing this song. Just love it.

Sorry I got my jazz songs mixed up. You guys were talking about "Ordinary Fool". Ok, now I'm on the same page!!!! Yes I love this song too. This one was written by Paul Williams. He must be very grateful to Karen and Richard for what they have done with his songs. And why hasn't Paul Williams been inducted into the song writer's hall of fame. Is there a conspiracy against these wonderful talented people?
Anyway, I agree with all of you about Ordinary Fool. It's a gem. Like I said a jazz album would have been a stunner!
