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.[1]
Georgie FameWhen Ronan O'Rahilly, who then managed him, could not get Fame's first record played by the BBC[7] and was also turned down by Radio Luxembourg, he announced that he would start his own radio station to promote the record.[8]The station became the offshore pirate radio station Radio Caroline.[9]
Fame subsequently enjoyed regular chart success with singles, having three Top 10 hits, which all made number one in the UK Singles Chart.[1] His version of "Yeh, Yeh", released on 14 January 1965, spent two weeks at No. 1 on the UK singles chart and a total of 12 weeks on the chart. The following-up single, in 1965, was "In The Meantime", which also charted in both UK and US. Fame made his US television debut that same year on the NBC Hullabaloo series. His single "Get Away", released on 21 July 1966, spent one week at No. 1 on the UK chart and 11 weeks on the chart in total. The song was originally written as a jingle for a television petrol advertisement.[10] It was later used as the theme tune for a quiz show on Australian television. After the song was a hit Fame disbanded his band and went solo.
Fame's version of the Bobby Hebb song "Sunny" made No. 13 in the UK charts in September 1966.[11] The follow-up, "Sitting in the Park", a Billy Stewart cover, made No. 12. His greatest chart success
was "The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde" in 1967, which was a number one hit in the United Kingdom, and No.7 in the United States. "Yeh Yeh" and "The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde" sold over one million copies, and were awarded gold discs.[12]


Fame continued playing into the 1970s, having a hit, "Rosetta", with his close friend Alan Price, ex-keyboard player of the Animals, in 1971, and they worked together extensively for a time. In 1974, Fame reformed the Blue Flames and also began to sing with Europe's finest orchestras and big bands, a musical tradition he still currently pursues. During the 1970s, he also wrote jingles for several UK radio and TV commercials, and composed the music for the feature films Entertaining Mr Sloane (1970) and The Alf Garnett Saga(1972). The theme tune from Entertaining Mr Sloane was issued as the B-side of the 1970 single "Somebody Stole My Thunder".
Fame has collaborated with other successful popular musicians. He has been a core member of  Van Morrison's band, as well as his musical producer. Fame also played keyboards and sang harmony vocals on such tracks as "In the Days before Rock 'n' Roll" from the album Enlightenment, while still recording and touring as an artist in his own right. Fame played organ on all of the Van Morrison albums between 1989 and 1997, and starred at Terry Dillon's 60th-birthday party on 10 May 2008. Morrison refers to Fame in the line "I don't run into Mr. Clive" in his song "Don't Go to Nightclubs Anymore" featured on the 2008 Keep It Simple album. Fame appeared as a special guest on Morrison's television concert show presented by BBC Four series on 25 and 27 April 2008.
Fame was also founding member of his friend Bill Wyman's early band Rhythm Kings, touring with the band. He has also worked with Count Basie, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Joan Armatrading and the Verve.[13]
Fame has frequently played residences at jazz clubs, such as Ronnie Scott's. He has also played organ on Starclub's album. He was the headline act on the Sunday night at the Jazz World stage at the 2009 Glastonbury Festival, this following a headline gig the night before at the "Midsummer Music @ Spencers" festival in Essex.[14]
On 18 April 2010, Fame, together with his two sons Tristan Powell (guitar) and James Powell (drums), performed at the Live Room at Twickenham Stadium,[15]as part of the 10th-birthday celebrations of "The Eel Pie Club".[16] Part of the proceeds from the concert will benefit The Otakar Kraus Trust, which provides music and voice therapy for children and young people with physical and mental difficulties. The trio performed later that same year at the opening night at Towersey Festival.[17]
Fame has been the popular headline act at the Croatian Grosnjan Jazz Festival for several years, as a result of his connection with the now deceased Croatian vibraphone player Boško Petrovi? who founded it.
Fame has made several albums on his own Three Line Whip label since the late 1990s, mostly new original compositions with a jazz/R&B framework.
In July 2014 Fame played two consecutive dates at the village hall in Goring-on-Thames[18] and then at the Cornbury Festival in Oxfordshire[19]
Fame was featured in Diana Krall's cover of his early hit "Yeh Yeh" on Krall's Wallflower album released on 3 February 2015.[20] In October 2015 Fame announced a 12-date UK tour[21] and on 4 October was a guest on BBC Radio 2's Weekend Wogan.[22]
