Georgie Fame is quite overlooked here in the USA; I always find him entertaining.

Another overlooked R&B group from the 60's, here a reasonable cover of the Drifters "Please Stay"

Worth noting that most of the UK 60's R&B groups were much better live than in the Studio, but that may be just because they played mostly small clubs, not even theatres

A big UK hit for Georgie Fame [[though he cut it as a LP track & didn't want his record company to put it out on a 45) ....

Hey Jsmith
that was a great album!
now moving on, whatabout "Hand Clappin Foot Stompin Funky Butt Live" and "Hipsters Flipsters, you know the rest from our adopted from the U.S. Geno
Both great albums , but pseudo live, a la Junior Walker
