GEORGIE FAME (& THE BLUE FLAMES)
Records are not for sale - For your viewing pleasure only
Georgie Fame is a British rhythm and blues and jazz singer and keyboard player. At sixteen years of age, Fame went to London and entered into a management agreement with Larry Parnes, who had given new stage names to such artists as Marty Wilde and Billy Fury. Fame later recalled that Parnes had given him an ultimatum over his forced change of name: It was very much against my will but he said, If you don't use my name, I won't use you in the show". Over the following year he toured the UK playing beside Wilde, Joe Brown, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran and others. Fame played piano for Billy Fury in his backing band The Blue Flames. When the backing band got the sack at the end of 1961, the band were re-billed as "Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames" and went on to enjoy great success with a repertoire largely of rhythm and blues numbers. Fame was influenced from early on by jazz and such blues musicians and was one of the first white artists to be influenced by the ska music he heard in Jamaican cafes in and around Ladbroke Grove. In September 1963 the band recorded its debut album Rhythm And Blues At the Flamingo live at the Flamingo Club. When Ronan O'Rahilly, who then managed him, could not get Fame's first record played by the BBC and was also turned down by Radio Luxembourg, he announced he would start his own radio station in order to promote the record. The station became the offshore pirate radio station, Radio Caroline. Later Fame enjoyed regular chart success with singles, having three Top 10 hits, which all made number one in the UK Singles Chart. His version of "Yeh Yeh", spent two weeks at No.1. "Yeh Yeh" and "The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde" sold over one million copies, and were awarded gold discs. Fame's single "Get Away", released on 21 July 1966, spent one week at No. 1 on the UK. The song, originally recorded with a view to using it as an television jingle for a petrol advertisement, was later used as the theme tune for a quiz show on Australian television. At this point Fame disbanded his band and went solo. Fame continued playing into the 1970s, having a hit, "Rosetta", with his close friend Alan Price, ex-keyboard player of The Animals. Fame has collaborated with some of the most successful performers in the world of popular music. He has been a core member of Van Morrison's band, as well as his musical producer. Fame was also founding member of friend Bill Wyman's early band Rhythm Kings, touring with the band. He has also worked with Count Basie, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Joan Armatrading and The Verve. Fame has made several albums on his own Three Line Whip label since the late 1990s, mostly new original compositions with a jazz/R&B framework.
