Omschrijving

COOL CAT BLUES is the story of singer / pianist Georgie Fame. Born Clive Powell, in Leigh, Lancashire, he rose from being a troubled kid to the very top of the British pop charts. Through conversations and correspondence with Fame, as well as diligent research, Ben Sidran traces Fame's story from his long days touring the back roads of England with up-and-coming British acts, along with visiting American musicians, to his early 1960s residency at London's Flamingo Club, where he began specializing in playing organ. This venue was a legendary melting pot of blues and jazz, and Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames, the band that grew out of their work there, went on to chart success as the decade progressed, with three UK No. 1 chart hits. In the years that followed, Fame combined his solo career with collaborations with other artists, including Alan Price and Van Morrison. He was a founder member of ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, but also worked across the stylistic spectrum with musicians as varied as Count Basie, Muddy Waters and Joan Armatrading.
The book also follows his personal life in the usually hidden world of British high society. The final chapters bring the story of a man who, all his life, has followed his head, heart and ears into the 21 st century, with headline appearances at Ronnie Scott's Club and Glastonbury, as well as recordings and concerts with the band he leads with his sons Tristan and James Powell.
