TITLE added to MP3 cart. Rhythm And Blues At The Flamingo. If the early days of British music interest you this album is something you should consider adding to your shelf. Fame (real name Clive Powell) had a bluesy, yet smooth, understated style of singing while his Hammond organ playing was obviously influenced by American players. And the band (on the Flamingo tracks) includes baritone sax, tenor sax, electric guitar, bass, drums, and congas besides Fame's organ. Fame was influenced (among others) by Mose Allison and you can hear that style on this album.

Watch now Georgie Fame's video clip of album "Rhythm And Blues At The Ricky Tick".

Fame was certainly a crowd puller. When he made his appearance at the club that night, he was fresh from having just finished touring with the first UK Tamla Motown revue. He had been added to the bill at the last minute to boost numbers on the tour that included The Supremes, Martha & The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. The promoters knew Fame could pull in the mods. A sincere sounding Georgie said in Rave magazine, since rhythm and blues came in it’s done a hell of a lot for honesty in music. Young people today are cool. They’re looking for the good things.

It was the first album on which Fame appeared. In the early 1960s Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames were resident at a number of London clubs including The Flamingo and the club's manager Rik Gunnell managed the group. On this recording Gunnell's younger brother Johnny can be heard announcing the songs over the noisy club clientele. The album was produced by Ian Samwell, engineered by Glyn Johns and released on the Columbia label (Columbia 33SX 1599)
