I was listening to a London jazz station on the internet and they played Georgie Fame's version of MOONDANCE. It was just fabulous, so I emailed the DJ to find out more about the artist.

Come to find out, Georgie Fame's been around longer than me..and that's saying something. I never heard of him, but I ordered the CD solely on the merits of MOONDANCE.

It's terrific...His cut with Boz Scaggs IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME is super...and, of course, having Van Morrison jam on MOONDANCE is the icing on the cake. I also liked his cut YEAH, YEAH....I can't remember who did it in the 60's, but this is every bit as good.

This is happy music...and I listen to it every chance I get.

Enjoy!

An anonymous donor sent me this cd recently, its title having agonisingly lingered on my wish list for some time. I can only proffer my apologies to Mr Fame for having taken so long to discover this album's excellence and to my generous benefactor a humble and most appreciative thank you.

Mr Fame is a legend in his own right, with a career spanning some forty years, he needs no introduction. Originally a blues aficionado his skills began to lend to the jazz genre in the early eighties. Mr Fame is indeed a talented man and has that rare pleasure of being not only a first class vocalist but a talented musician too. I'm blessed too have his title "Name Droppin" (Live) and I didn't really think it could be beat. But of course Mr Fame pulls off excellence with frightening ease time and time again and this album exudes the essence of an album that was a joy to produce. A self-contained and extraordinary album, it flows effortlessly in its excellence from track one to track thirteen all too disappointingly soon.

I normally like to quote my favourite track but dam, aint it so hard to do. Maybe its Moondance but then maybe its Yeah, Yeah .... no its definitely It Should Have Been Me ... no wait its Georgia ..... all wonderful classics in their own right and if my humble opinion is worth anything you should stop reading this and go press the purchase button.

This is a great CD. And to the reviewer who was wondering who did the 1960's version of "Yeah Yeah," it was none other than Georgie Fame himself (I still have the single). I like his original version best, but this one is good too. I especially like "Every Knock is a Boost." This is a CD I would buy for my music-loving friends.
