Posted by http://www.nostalgoteket.se Georgie Fame performing with his som Tristan Powell on guitar and "Uncle Colin" on drums. This was his break through hit in Sweden, back in 1965. He obviously enjoys coming here as he has a summer house outside of Sandviken.

"Yeh Yeh" is a Latin soul tune that was written as an instrumental by Rodgers Grant and Pat Patrick and first recorded by Mongo Santamaría on his 1963 album Watermelon Man. Lyrics were written for it shortly thereafter by Jon Hendricks of the vocal group Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. This version of the song was taken to the top of the U.K. charts in January 1965 by Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames (b/w "Preach and Teach", Columbia DB 7428), breaking The Beatles' long-term hold on the number one spot, and a month later appeared on the US Billboard pop singles chart to peak at #21

  • Very nice!!

  • God, that is COOL!!!

  • I'm impressed!

  • aww I love Georgie Fame :')

  • He still sounds FANTASTIC, one of the very few performers from the 1960s who's voice has held up very well through the years. He never turns in a lackluster performance either.
