Tecladista y cantante de jazz y R&B Georgie Fame, nacido en Leigh,
Lancashire (Inglaterra). Comenzó como pianista acompañante en los
sesenta, como líder de banda obtuvo varios hits memorables y en sus 50
años de carrera ha tocado junto a músicos de la talla de Count Basie,
Alan Price, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters,
Joan Armatrading y la banda The Verve.
Fame, cuyo verdadero nombre es Clive Powell, comenzó a tocar el piano
con siete años. Cuando acabó la escuela secundaria se puso a trabajar y
por las noches tocaba en un grupo llamado The Dominoes. Se presentó a un
concurso de cantantes aficionados y allí le fue ofrecido un trabajo por
la temprana estrella del rock and roll británico Rory Blackwell. Con 16
años se traslada a Londres y firma con una agencia de contratación
liderada por Larry Parnes, que le sugiere el cambio de nombre. Durante
unos años acompaña a cantantes de la agencia como Marty Wilde y Billy
Fury, como miembro del grupo The Blue Flames. En 1961, el grupo se
independiza y como Georgie Fame & the Blue Flames obtienen una serie
de éxitos muy populares: 'Yeh, Yeh' (1964) , 'Get away', 'Sunny'
(1966), 'The ballad of Bonnie & Clyde' (1967), su mayor éxito en las
listas, y 'Seventh Sun' (1969)
Fame obtuvo un lugar en la historia de la radiodifusión, cuando
O'Rahilly, que por entonces era su manager, no consiguió que la BBC
emitiera su primera grabación 'Do the dog' (1964). Cuando también fue
rechazado por Radio Luxembourg, O'Rahilly anunció que él crearía su
propia emisora de radio con el fin de promocionar la grabación de
Georgie Fame. La nueva estación de radio llegó a ser la emisora pirata
Radio Caroline que emitía desde un barco frente a las costas de
Inglaterra.
En los años setenta tuvo otro hit, 'Rosetta' (1971) haciendo tándem con
su viejo amigo Alan Price (ex-Animals) y compuso y grabó música para
jingles publicitarios y televisión.
En 1989 Fame tocó el órgano en el álbum 'Avalon sunset' de Van Morrison.
Esto llevó a una fructífera colaboración entre ambos músicos,
apareciendo Georgie en todos los trabajos de Van Morrison hasta 1997,
compartiendo incluso créditos con él en el álbum 'How Long Has This Been
Going On' (1996)
En 1998 Fame abandona a Van para co-fundar los 'Rhythm Kings' de Bill
Wyman con los que permanece en la actualidad, aunque sigue colaborando
puntualmente con Van Morrison. Además de sus trabajos como sideman, en
los años noventa continuó grabando con su nombre magníficos álbumes como
'Cool Cat Blues' (1991) y 'The Blues and me' (1996). Sus dotes como
vocalista de jazz han sido demostradas en una de sus últimas entregas en
solitario, 'Poet in New York' (2000).
