Georgie Fame - Yeh Yeh! (Later with Jools Holland Nov '00)

[@user-pb2kg1ng4g]

What impresses me is how faithful Georgie Fame is to his original rendition. A low-key showman with an unmistakable and unique voice. A special song representing a great time in British culture.

[@shamteal8614]

And that my friends is music and talent.

[@kb9788]

He's amazing, Georgie!

[@KC-gy5xw]

Brill. He and Alan Price - precious musicians..

[@brucemacmillan9581]

That's just a fantastic update on a stone cold classic. Definitely rock 'n' roll, but with an unmistakable jazz swagger.

[@tjamodio5254]

When Georgie says ... "later Jools"..... he seals the deal on this great performance...... priceless!!!

[@freddysands]

Georgie is still killing it.

[@martinking2199]

Genius at work .

[@claudemazeau9511]

I had completely forgotten him and one day I remembered his hit Yeh Yeh, so i listened to it ,it reminded me the time of my youth and now I realize that he is one of the most talented artistes in UK !!!!

[@arsethehorse]

Great performance. Saw him last week playing with a number of the Manfreds. He shuffles on with a walking stick and looks a bit frail but still cooks it up when he plays. One of the finest the UK produced.

[@DA90027]

Amazing he looks 60 but the voice still sounds 22. No difference in since 1965 not many can still sound this good 50 years later.

[@jonnybirchyboy1560]

This was filmed in 2000, so was 35 years after he recorded the original.

[@jean-paul7251]

Sounds great but so far from his 20s voice!!!

[@johnnightingale4078]

One of the greatest musical talents to have evolved from this island of ours,and still performing. Long may he go on.

[@crobarus]

A well kept secret Love his shit though .

[@carolegriggs3107]

Absolutely !! Naturally "cool" too!

[@BLOLite]

Some brilliant duos with Alan Price when young too.

[@cynthiaprentice8420]

Still do not understand why he has not been a much bigger artist than this, an amazing voice and fabulous musician. Perhaps too jazz for some? But I could listen all night and fantastic live too!

[@comicmania2008]

What's not to like here? I like Georgie Fame, he's a true genius the way he crossed over jazz to pop, and a real down to Earth gent. Plays and sings from the heart and soul, and was very under-rated in my humble opinion.

[@rosemarysmyth739]

comicmania2008

[@MrPizza063]

what a legend thank you Georgie fame

[@ianforfree]

I don't believe under rated , yet certainly underappreciated by the masses . Many top musicians love and loved Georgie ...

[@kevinmcmahon2491]

Agreed, although he crossed the other way round - from pop to jazz, of a sorts.

[@shamteal8614]

Underrated !!! I can think of few in the music industry who are so respected for their talent as Georgie Fame, the man's a legend.

[@zag001a]

been singing it for 40 years. yeh what a band.

[@TheAnn2shoes]

He's still good looking and good sounding!

[@CLASSICALJAJ]

One of thee GREATEST performers to have existed. I’ll be utterly devastated when his time comes. The backing often behind other great performers. Keep rockin Georgie !!!! X

[@Bill-jc1fy]

Fame made a great jazz album with Van Morrison about 30 years ago. I'm glad he's still cooking

[@sunboycold9164]

what a Legend

[@SteveLondonSky]

And today, in today's market a No 21 in 1965 would be a No1 in comparative sales. A number 1 in 2013 doesn't mean anything anymore. Sigh, gone are the good days of music... long gone.

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 From a 72yo Aussie fan.

[@train2pottsville]

always pays a visit to the house he was born in when he comes back home, a great lad who hasn`t forget his roots

[@NUTTY-ClassicRockAllJazzedUp]

So underrated. When I was a lad living in London he was one of the true hipsters. This video shows that he has remained that. And that name!! Yeh yeh, Georgie!

[@anuteamsterium]

His contributions to Van Morrison's work are huge.

[@thegardener4395]

The cool sound of the Hammond organ along with his voice plus the added attraction of Jools on the piano = great listening.

[@janwillemwilkens3427]

Two of my musical heroes together. Georgie and Jools. Thanks for sharing.

[@mickdevlin]

Clive Powell....apparently he was one of the most talented Rugby League second row forwards Leigh had ever produced. What a guy. Love you George! So undersung as a man who promoted British jazz to the hilt.

[@flip1325]

The lungs on this man. The off-the-cuff "YEH!"s. The rhythm (unfailing! an almost unbearable tease! hard to take! yet brings playtime round to perfection every single time, capped off with a different, better few notes, seamlessly, never infinitesimally too early or too late, and all without showing off!). The tone/pitch/note-play! The organ, of course. No one coming to mind dares play organ (today) who isn't being - adept, often, yes, but - always ironic and/or retro, the burden on us to tolerate this! (And that's OK.) But with Mr Powell it's a gift *to* us. How can you describe the way someone gives *of* a Hammond rather than inculcating us into some sarcastic conspiracy? As soon as you hear "Hammond organ" you (I) have value judgements already in place, but Georgie Fame dispels them in one bar. He plays it seriously. He enjoys it. And not only is there no inkling of pre-recorded Bossanova about it, he does Ms Hammond proud! (You assume it was a Mr? Yeah, so do I. Mr Hammond, then.) Can't explain any of this better than that. I all-but-squandered my one chance to see Georgie Fame *(A)LIVE!* at Circular Quay c. 1987 (1986? 1988? No...) by getting my hardcore drink on for the very first time; not just tipsy. We went all out. This was Georgie Fame and we knew it! And I knew it as I stood tabletop, trying to meld three Georgie Fames into one....

[@hanslap7616]

[@cynthiawhyte5131]

Seen him many times now and today is still performing and still as good!! Try again!

[@tjamodio5254]

Yes.... a great "lesson" taught about Georgie..... thanks Flip.....

[@misscogito9865]

Queens Gambit brought me here. What a vibrant gent 😊 would love to have seen him live

[@Scandilady]

He sang in the Marquee and Flamingo club Wardour st, in Shoho where I went every Saturday, danced till the next morning.

[@saquinaakanni2729]

WOW Still sounds great👍💕🙏

[@andyinoregon]

I could listen to that outro forever. Genius arrangement of a classic that sounds better with each passing year.

[@bethvirginiaphillips4583]

From the GLORIOUS year of 1965, THE year for music. Georgie was one of the second tier Brit Invasion stars after the Kinks, Beatles, Stones, Hermans Hermits, Freddy and the Dreamers, Chad and Jeremy and Peter ad Gordon, Dustry Springfield, Sandie Shaw, Pet Clark and a few others.

[@lisaharmon1245]

Went to England twice to see him.....want to go again to see this set up! FANTASTIC!

[@phildirt3]

One of my all time favorite tunes

[@rafaelhernandezizquierdo3427]

Un éxito musical indiscutible que siempre nos alegra nuestras vidas. Me encanta el saxofón

[@MarioBrighton]

''Mongo Santamaría!'' OMG! how i love this man :D

[@franm.k.5832]

My dad said he used to like how Georgia Fame could play without even looking at the piano...a natural 🎹 🎶

[@andrewwall1735]

That priest does a cracking job on the sax!!

[@kevinmcmahon2491]

Alan Skidmore. A very good jazzman in his own right.

[@DER_MOPS_IM_PALETOT]

Alan Skidmore?

[@ashingtoon]

Fantastic! Loved hearing him and Alan Price as a kid

[@guypearson8150]

Top man

[@johnswimcat]

Brilliant! I still have an old lp of Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames I bought when I was a teenager. Good music

[@johnthomson3506]

Absolutly brilliant.

[@carlamartin8286]

So great to have Georgie Fame in Bath! Thank you for making our weekend! :)

[@ronanmolloy695]

[@cynthiawhyte5131]

Imagine what it does to women!

[@jordanmcpartland897]

[@ellibarasch2997]

Here from The Queen's Gambit. Amazing syncopation.

[@saquinaakanni2729]

Really. OMG you are right. That's where I heard that song again 👍💃✌️❤️🙏

[@rozchristopherson648]

Dude got down on that !!!! 😊

[@ritamachia3354]

His work with Van Morrison is excellent.

[@tarnsand440]

Clive aka Georgie Fame was 57 in 2000. Sounds amazingly the same as 35 yrs earlier.

[@keyjamman8376]

Gorgeous!!!

[@CommonConsole]

Performed this with Georgie Fame himself last year. Very professional and focussed rehearsing but the sound at the end was amazing!

[@liciniawrench8123]

Great Man Love his music

[@reneematte8426]

Georgie Fame....my hero!

[@RobertBridge]

Well done Georgie Jools everybody

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1965 {March 16th} Georgie Fame & the Blue Flames performed "Yeh, Yeh" on the NBC-TV program 'Hullabaloo'... One month earlier on February 13th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #21 and spent 8 weeks on the Top 100... And ten months later on December 30th the group appeared on ABC-TV's 'Shindig!' and performed the same song... Mr. Fame, aka Clive Powell, will celebrate his 70th birthday in three months on June 26th...

[@cynthiawhyte5131]

And now, 2021 will be 78 in ten days! Still as good and still the sane voice! Fabulous!

[@jazzbari]

Great song!

[@silvrliit]

Omygosh! Songs you’ve heard and tried to sing as a kid but have never seen the singer! Yeh yeh!

[@DrLumpyDMus]

Yeah Yeah!

[@tomneedham1937]

Georgie - Remember "The Bull" at Barnes on the Thames in the '60s? Those were the days mate! Unfortunately, those days are gone - never to return...

[@cynthiawhyte5131]

Yes…. And so many other places! Those who say ‘if you can remember the sixties you weren’t there’ do not know what they are talking about. There was so much happening everywhere! And you did not need to be high to appreciate it either!

[@MiMoassociate]

Great version with the reduced New Blue Flames. Georgie with "Skid the Kid", "Superbass" Geoff Gascoigne, "Brother James" & Jools Holland on piano. "Young Michael"

[@arvidsmith1038]

Right at the end he pays tribute : Mongo Santamaria, Clark Terry , Jon Hendricks .. Georgie is the top of the tree ...

[@markatr6]

...ill never know why he wasnt more popular over here ( u.s. )

[@genemaurillo4162]
