Georgie Fame - Get Away

[tigerpaint1964]

i believe that the time is right

[VinBad007]

Gotta love a trombone solo!  : )

[jeaniebthe1]

Looking forward to doing a support set at this Legendary fella's gig on the 8th May in North London! Got my dancing shoes ready :)

[captainsoul1953]

This is great...first time ive seen him play guitar

Jim

[venezmilord]

Ahhh I adore this man's voice. And he is SO pretty I want to cry

[ogdog123]

Georgie is the King of Cool. Very under rated performer. Just love his tunes and they always come out at a party. I'm late 40's and been listening to him for the past 10 years. His music holds up well.

[Babyhowdy233]

@ogdog123

I discovered his awesome music when I was living in London. He is first-class all the way!

[GBreezy797]

What other songs are similar to this?

[MAJORSNODGRASS]

The baritone player was Johnny Marshall.

[bluegrassbloke]

saw him in London circa 1964. Small dance hall, I stood next to the sax player and just marveled at how sophisticated and accomplished they seemed to me then!

Heavily Mose Alison influenced. Great Hammond B3 player. The pirate ship Radio London played the hell out of Georgie's tunes. It really helped.

[kf001u1894]

Not a great fan of Georgie Fame,but this song is greatand he sings it well.

[klnine]

my mom worked with his mom in the Midlands haha , she taught him all he knows!

[kipper309]

modtastic

[GBreezy797]

Sounds similar to a song in the movie Grand Prix.

[SAHBfan]

Blimey, he looks like Paul Weller in this vid!

(Much better voice, though ;-)

Is the trumpeter Mike Fallaner?

[Pandabearmadness]

the brass sounds awesome in this song

[ishbelmurray]

Georgie Fame? get away!!!

[MARKETMAN6789]

went to see him in manchester about 10 years ago ,at the royal exchane ,he never sang this song ,what a let down ,

[babber46]

Boy, this take me back....

[freakunt]

georgie funky as usual...

[klnine]

my mon worked with his mom ..clayhanger hahah ! Class guy!

[MehefinHeulog]

note prefect

beat perfect

that trombone sings

utter class

[MikeBlitzMag]

Of the many diverse offerings in Georgie Fame's repertoire, this 1966 single still stands out as one of his definitive tracks. A masterpiece!

[kav816]

This was a great record, by the georgie fame band.

note the trombone player was added.

around this time,

but he broke up the band too soon.

colin green was a great lead guitarist,

but is seen playing another one,

other than his guild starfire, he used on Yeah Yeah

[mmandmm9]

TY! A ridiculously unappreciated musician!

[SAHBfan]

You are right, very under rated. I think maybe his lack of songwiting was maybe the problem... most of his output was covers. He always held together a really first rate band, though.

[waziammm]

Very true, he had one of the tightest sounds for the time for the genre. Could be why he is such a highly sampled white artist now-days

[thepinkmunkey]

perfect..

[roukysoul]

brillant!

[acidsunrise]

very very talented geezer.

[pipewatcher]

brilliant post, mate ... DIG IT!!!!!!

[compactct1]

Love this song, great collection of songs you have, the only downside is you are costing me a small fortune because i'm buying them off of iTunes, but it's worth it, Thankyou so much. Love the songs.

[clivedobson1]

I can confirm that the sax player with the beard is Lyn Dobson as he is my brother. Check out his other videos with Soft Machine.  Lyn also played with John Martyn, Manfred Mann and Alan Price - Regards Clive Dobson

[waziammm]

Thanks for the confirmation, just watching this now i thought he looked like Dick Heckstall-Smith from Graham Bond Org. I guess glasses like that and a sax could make anyone look like that

[SAHBfan]

I wonder if Dick Heckstall-Smith ever did play with Georgie Fame? I know Jon Hiseman (who played extensively with Dick) played with him, so it is possible, they were all from the same time and place...

[MehefinHeulog]

never has a single deep sax note meant so much!

this was really inventive arrangement when it came out

great rhythm

[VinBad007]

@clivedobson1 Wow, Clive. I read, Lyn's Bio...very cool! : ) I see he also worked with Humble Pie, among many others. I hope you and Lyn are doing wonderfully these days! Best Regards, Vinny

[food4greymatter]

@clivedobson1 Any relative of Trevor Dobson, N. Wales?

[bobgreen623]

Hey, I had no idea George played guitar, I always thought he was an organist, and a damn good one at that. Love his voice too.

Any idea who the horn players are?

[Wilthomer66]

Eddie Thornton is the trumpet player, the sax player w/ the beard is Lyn Dobson though I'm not familar with the other two cats.

[diamondbackseye]

Any footage out there of Fame playing with Mitch Mitchell on drums? I know Mitch played with him just before he started playing with Hendrix....

[Wilthomer66]

In all my years of being a fan of GF I've yet to see any video w/ Mitch as a Blue Flame!

[UnpleasantChuck]

Excellent find! Love it that these guys were captured performing live.

Thanks for posting!

[nerdfly12]

i got loads of his albums on Ebay... look for necropaloid

[Gretaleine]

Why have I never heard of them before....? O.o

[mcconkeyMOD]

too young....yeh yeh

[ukfm]

superb! leyth genius ;)

[TaoBoogie]

F.A.B

[freddo1939]

Georgie Fame & Alan Price are great performers,but together they were sensational.When on TV they were a must see.

[zapspace]

He's got a great voice ...

[ModGirl1967]

@zapspace Smooth...

[JulianThomePictures]

Town hall= Stadthalle, Offenbach, Germany. In 1971 Eric Burdon & War performed there...

[bitterchew]

Georgie FAME I mean

[bitterchew]

This song was played on the radio for awhile in San Antonio Texas back in 1966, but I haven't heard it since then. I remembered the song but had no idea who perfomed it till now. Georgie Flame and the Blue Flames never got any publicity in South Texas I guess.

[SteveBlakemore]

Someone will put me right but this song was written by Georgie as music for an American oil companies telivision advert campaign. I think it was Pensoil or something like that. So the chances are you will have heard the tune many times.

Its my favourite Karaoke song .I sing it just as good as he did so the wife says

[idelia52]

cute :) great song and singer

[cantleysugar]

Well I never - I had no idea he played guitar!

Talented man.

[emmooldmod]

[craig1873craig]

[snapcracklepop54]

[hotscotjj]
