1935

Rudolph Clark (October 29, 1935 – September 3, 2020) was an American songwriter credited with hit songs such as "If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody", "Got My Mind Set on You", "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)", and "Good Lovin'" (written with Artie Resnick).

1960

He was most active from the early 1960s through the early 1970s.

He has more than 250 copyrights listed by BMI.

1961

While working as a mailman in New York City in 1961, Clark wrote songs, and discovered singer James Ray in a small nightclub.

Clark's songs won the interest of Gerry Granahan of Caprice Records, and Clark suggested that Ray record them.

1962

As a result, Ray recorded Clark's song "If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody", which became a pop and R&B hit in 1962 and was later a hit for Freddie and the Dreamers.

1964

Clark wrote the Top 10 pop classic "It's in His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)", first recorded by Merry Clayton and then by Betty Everett in 1964.

Other Clark compositions include "Fool, Fool, Fool", recorded in 1964 by Little Joey & the Flips and then covered by Roosevelt Grier, the A-Cads, and Ray Brown & the Whispers, with the last two representations reaching #1 in South Africa and Australia respectively.

His song "Waddle, Waddle" featured in the film Hairspray.

1965

With Arthur Resnick, Clark co-wrote "Good Lovin'", recorded by The Olympics in 1965 and then remade as a #1 hit by the Young Rascals the following year.

1966

Clark composed "All Strung Out Over You" which was recorded by The Chambers Brothers, and was released on Columbia 4-43957 on December 19, 1966.

1967

It became a regional hit for the group, and by January 11, 1967, it was at #34 on the WMCA chart.

1970

Beyond pop hits, Clark wrote several songs for the early 1970s Harlem Globetrotters cartoon series.

1972

Clark was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song for his lead contribution in writing the 1972 Top Five hit "Everybody Plays the Fool" by the Main Ingredient.

1984

Besides being heard on oldies radio, Clark's material has also found its way to the Broadway theatre, making reference to André DeShields' Haarlem Nocturne (1984) and Marion J. Caffey's Street Corner Symphony (1997).

1987

Ray also recorded "Got My Mind Set on You", which became a No. 1 US and No. 2 UK hit for George Harrison in 1987, and was a No. 1 hit in 18 countries.

Clark was a close friend of singer Bobby Darin, who owned TM Music/Trio, the music company that employed Clark.

1991

The song was frequently revisited by other artists, most notably in the version that became a worldwide hit for Cher in 1991.
