Georgie starred alongside Olivia Newton-John in this musical review which originally aired on BBC1.<br /><br />Written, produced and directed by Buddy Bregman, the show's "plot" concerned a troupe of minstrel performers travelling back in time to visit various historical sites, including the Vale of York, Castle Howard, and Fountains Abbey. With these beautiful settings as a backdrop, Georgie and Olivia performed <em>If We Only Have Love</em>, <em>Yeh Yeh</em>, <em>Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow</em>, A<em>ll I Need Is You</em>, and <em>Scarborough Fair</em>.<br /><br /><strong>Production Credits:</strong><br /><br /><strong>The New Fangled Wandering Minstrel Show</strong> (1973)<br />Produced in the UK<br />Originally aired on BBC1<br />Running Time: 49 minutes<br />Produced, directed and written by Buddy Bregman<br />Cinematography by Gilbert Taylor<br /><br /><strong>Starring</strong> Olivia Newton-John and Georgie Fame<br /><br /><strong>Songs Performed:</strong><br />If We Only Have Love<br />All I Need Is You<br />Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (Georgie Fame/Olivia Newton-John duet)<br />Scarborough Fair<br />Yeh Yeh (Georgie Fame/Olivia Newton-John duet)<br /><strong>possibly more, info unknown</strong>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010834308853550793.post-18707401132874696862007-11-04T06:40:00.000-08:002007-11-04T06:45:39.523-08:00Georgie Fame in concert May 2, 2008 at Town Hall, BirminghamGeorgie Fame will appear live at Town Hall in Birmingham on May 2, 2008.

The German version had a picture sleeve.<br /><br />Side A, <em>Bullets Laverne</em>, was written by Norman Greenbaum (famous for <em>Spirit in the Sky</em>) and B. Kane. Greenbaum's version was released earlier in 1968, under the artist name Dr. West's Medicine Show and Junk Band, on the Gregar label. The charming Tin Pan Alley tone that characterized Fame's rendition is already present on Greenbaum's original. Fame's recording takes it further, though, and with the help of arranger Harry South and his Big Band, turns the tune into a Broadway-style show stopper.<br /><br />Side B, <em>St. James Infirmary</em>, is a jazz/blues classic, previously recorded by such luminaries as Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, and Billie Holiday. Starting out life as a folk song of unknown origin, it became <em>St. James Infirmary</em> in the late 1920s, with the lyrics being attributed to Joe Primrose. Fame's version, arranged by Derek Wadsworth, is haunting and heart-rending. Fame hits every note with a sincerity that is positively devastating.<br /><br /><strong>WHERE TO FIND THESE SONGS</strong><br /><br />Both <em>Bullets Laverne</em> and <em>St. James Infirmary</em> appear on the following CD:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FTwo-Faces-Fame-Third-Face%2Fdp%2FB000EBGBKS%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dmusic%26qid%3D1193505246%26sr%3D8-1&tag=retroroostcom-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Georgie Fame: Two Faces of Fame / Third Face of Fame</a><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; MARGIN: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" height="1" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=retroroostcom-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" border="0" />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010834308853550793.post-91782512528635342392007-10-22T06:22:00.000-07:002007-10-22T06:32:37.099-07:00Georgie Fame sings "You Came A Long Way From St. Louis" in Germany (video)Georgie Fame delivers a super smooooooooth rendition of the John Benson Brooks/Bob Russell classic "You Came A Long Way From St. Louis"...<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/X0whkwZfp1E"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/X0whkwZfp1E" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><strong></strong>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010834308853550793.post-16044574315336558582007-10-21T07:10:00.000-07:002007-10-21T07:39:56.336-07:00More Georgie Fame Concert Dates for 2007 and 2008We just uncovered more Georgie Fame concert dates, from October 2007 to January 2008.
