intersting tidbit that Georgie Fame and the Blue flames were Billy Fury's backing group .

I remember visiting the Flamingo club on Wardour st. I must have been 16 yrs old at the time and more than a bit naive , (was in London for a football cup tie game ) and remember telling my mam and dad on my return about " a big black man trying to sell me some special cigarette but it was expensive so I declined and offered him an Embassy"
