Georgie Fame 'Daylight' Island

Picked this up recently and it really is a rather excellent Modern soul dancer.

A cover of a Bobby Womank tune (which I wasn't aware of before). Still a

cheap and easy record to find, released on a UK Island 45 & a limited edition

12" as well which is the same length as the 45 I think. I'll add a soundclip if

anyone is interested.

As does his version of Seventh Son - also on CBS.

(Well it does by me anyway.......)

really like his version of "sweet thing"......is it LP only?

Maybe a foreign release or a French E.P. but it appears to be an album cut. I'm surprised as it's a familar track.

I have a copy and I think it's a great version of "Sweet Thing". It very seldom turns up for sale here in Sweden, think I've only ever seen 2-3 other copies for sale during the past 10 years.

fancy selling me that Seb?.......

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU" Georgie Fame (CBS 1967)

Jimmy Edd was playing a version of 'Stormy' by him around Lincs back in the early 90s - off an LP if I remember.

Love this - Never heard it before and what I love about this site!

Georgies credentials have never wavered in my eyes - An original stalwart of the british jazz scene - regular Flamingo performer in the 6t's - Mod hero and lover and supporter of jazz/soul/R&B for many years! Always liked his version of 'Sitting In The Park ' mainstream yes but one of the best guys we've got!

While the Bobby Womack original of "DAYLIGHT" is by far the best ,the biggest dance version was the Warren Schatz produced Vickyi Sue Robinson version which tore up the floors in 1976.............."here we go again............."
