Who's Foolin' Who (One Way album)


Who's Foolin' Who is a 1982 album by the Detroit R&B band One Way.

Reception

The album includes the band's highest chart appearance in the United States, "Cutie Pie", which peaked at #61 on the Hot 100, #29 on the dance charts, and #4 on the R&B charts. The album's title track, "Who's Foolin' Who" was also released as the lead single, peaking at number 34 on the R&B chart. It did best in South Africa, where it reached number seven. "Who's Foolin' Who" has been covered by the Eurodance band, Double You on their 1992 album We All Need Love.
The album itself peaked #51 on the Billboard 200 and #8 on the R&B charts. Aside from 1984's #1 R&B album, Lady, this album is the highest charting in their seven-year run.
Incidentally, former One Way vocalist Alicia Myers released a solo album that same year entitled I Fooled You this Time. It is unclear which album was recorded first, but evidently, the similarity in album titles was intentional. Specifically, if her album was released first, then One Way's album title Who's Foolin' Who can be seen as a sort of "response" to her album, or vice versa. The songs on Myers' album were written and produced by One Way bandmembers, so apparently, the whole sequence of events was tongue-in-cheek, and there was no animosity between the two camps.
