Sanford Clark (October 24, 1935 – July 4, 2021) was an American country-rockabilly singer and guitarist born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He gained brief fame with his 1956 rendition of "The Fool," a song written by Lee Hazlewood, which reached the Top Ten on the pop charts and the Top 15 on the country charts. Following the success of "The Fool," Clark toured as an opening act for notable artists such as Ray Price and Roy Orbison. However, after a series of unsuccessful recordings, he decided to leave the music industry and operated a successful construction business for most of his life. Despite stepping away from professional music, Sanford occasionally released music through his Desert Sun record label.
