Search - Shorty :: Shorty Featuring Georgie Fame

Georgie Fame was a Mod icon/superstar from the early 60s on and perhaps the first UK performer to feature the Hammond B-3, (or even have one!). A run of chart hits including 3 #1s made him a major star in the UK and Europe through the '60s and early 70s. He was by the early 70s in a rather odd unexpectedly almost MOR partnership with fellow maverick Alan Price. The LP Shorty: featuring Georgie Fame , which was released in 1970 seems to have been an effort to apply an edge, or at least a festival/ballroom era veneer, remaking him from a personality staple of the era's TV and presenting him as part of a band (thus Shorty!). The project was rather short-lived (though the band did tour the US, appearing at the Fillmore West on a bill with Lee Michaels and Rod Stewart).
