Keyboard player Georgie Fame moved on from backing rock acts such as Gene Vincent and Billy Fury to lead his own band the Blue Flames in the early 60s before issuing his first Number 1 single ‘Yeh Yeh’ in 1965. The following year he returned to Number 1 with ‘Get Away’ and in 1968 hit the top spot for a third time with ‘The Ballad of Bonnie And Clyde’, which was also a US Top 10 hit. After a partnership with ex-Animal Alan Price in 1971 - which resulted in the Top 20 hit ‘Rosetta’ - Fame combined recording and composing with working alongside Van Morrison.
Georgie Fame was one of the the leading R&B musicians in the UK having started his career at age 16 with manager Larry Parnes, who gave him his name, and put him together with another of his great artists - Billy Fury. Georgie had many hits through the 60s and 70s with his band the Blue Flames and since then worked with Bill Wyman and Van Morrison.
