Georgie Fame

Associated acts: Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames, Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, Van Morrison

Georgie Fame (born Clive Powell; 26 June 1943) is an English rhythm and blues and jazz singer and keyboard player. Fame, who had a string of 1960s hits, is still a popular performer, often working with contemporaries such as Van Morrison and Bill Wyman. Fame is the only British pop star to have achieved three number one hits with his only Top 10 chart entries: "Yeh, Yeh" in 1964, "Get Away", in 1966 and "The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde" in 1967.

I had forgotten that "The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde" was one of his songs. That's odd, as I've heard it enough times.

Here's my fave tune of his:

The King of Prussia

Once with the Blue Flames, once with his family and once with the Guy Barker Big Band. Three very different, but wonderful, shows.
