Cashman , see if you remember this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq_2p_RWKnc

think i was 16 and in London for some football/cup-tie game and we wound up at the Flamingo club in SoHo , a big black guy offered me a hand rolled cigarette , me being a dumb Arroder had no idea what it was, offered him an Embassy instead .........:D :D :D Georgie Fame and the Blueflames were playing that night

Great clips Steeljack. :)

How about this one?

Re: soul music in the UK
 

Sorry to see Georgie Fame did'nt get a mention in the Independent article. I think he played a major, roll in 60s soul music, did great covers of all the popular, soul songs of the time. Played all the great clubs of the time, from the Wheel to all the Mecca's, Flamingo, Marquee, and still fantastic, What a talent, or does anybody think he,s overrated, god forbid.
