Georgie Fame,or rather Clive Powell as is what I understand to be his first name is someone whose been known to me for years. But I only heard his music for the first time right just now. Always find twofer collections such as this to be an excellent way to get in on an artists whole concept. And what a concept Georgie had! Probably without thinking about it too much,this guy (sometimes also along with his band The Blue Flames) anticipated the Brit jazz/R&B scene that was to come in the 70's and 80's. There would likely have been no such people as Everything But The Girl,Style Council or even Incognito and Sade without this mans pioneering work in that field. And certainly no Van Morrison,who owes much of his career success to Fame's mentorship. Aside from earning the great interest of Paul McCartney during the era in which these two albums were recorded Fame probably hasn't achieved the recognition he highly deserves outside the UK 60's "mod jazz" scene of which he was a part of and initiator of. And it sure is a treat especially for the first timer such as myself. Andre S. Grindle
