I've always loved Georgie Fame, even his cheesier stuff like 'The Ballad Of Bonnie & Clyde'. His version of 'Saturday Night Fish Fry' still cracks me up, you can almost imagine him telling it as a story to a group of mates?

'Somebody Stole My Thunder' though, now THAT is a tune.

Rate it very highly and when I played it out earlier this year it packed the floor. Very classy and for me better than the Spinners , although thats good in itself. Just goes to show how good the Georgie Fame version is.

Being a 1960's lad saw Georgie a lot and with the blue fames backing him, very good indeed. Roots in our music and only goes to show lots of things were happening before Wigan et al.

don't think its too bad at all - not as good as the Spinners version like. He also did a good version of 'Stormy' - my memory may be playing tricks, but I'm sure Jimmy Eddleston used to play this at the old Con Club doos in Lincoln early-to-mid 1990s

Sounds about right, the British R&B scene was always very incestuous!
