I'm old enough to remember this song when I was a kid growing up in NYC. This came out during the height of the British Invasion ... yes ... I was confused that this was a British band as I assumed by the mid 60's all British bands sounded like the Beatles, Stones, DC5, Animals, Searchers, Hermans hermits etc .. and I did hear it in the Queen's Gambit ./ one of the best short series I have enjoyed immensly . watched it twice ,, it's that good!
This boys and girls is what real live music is all about. I saw Georgie and the Blue Flames at a small jazz club in Brum many years ago. Totally blew me away.
Small venues are best for just about every kind of popular music. At the bigger ones the need to fill the arena with spectacle and pyrotechnics takes over to the detriment of the performance.
As a 19 year old on a tour, we had one night in London and I wanted to paint the town. So I went out alone and tried my poor British accent on some birds all dressed up there only to find out they were from Philadelphia. I looked hammered when I got on the bus next morning and got a dirty look from the tour guide.
Heard this upbeat song on the drive into work this morning. Turned it up loud and enjoyed every second of it. A great start to my day. Work was still shit, but the start of my day was great.
And if you and the rest of us did not have music to stimulate us and brighten our days...we would revert back to being drones and sad little individuals.............
Heard this in the grocery store today. Came home, checked You Tube, and here it is. My God , I havent heard this since the 60s! What a blast from the past!
My memory brought me here. An eighth grader in March of '65 at an eastside Catholic school in Erie , Pennsylvania, USA can't wait to get to high school in the fall. Yeh, Yeh indeed.
GROWING UP AT AGE 12 IN AMERICA WE WERE PRESENTED "YEH YEH" WHICH WENT TOP 10 IN BOSTON AND I WAS AN IMMEDIATE FAN. GET AWAY MADE THE LOWER CHARTS. I WAS INTRIGUED TO BUY THE 2 FIRST US LPS AND DISCOVERED THE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL "SITTING IN THE PARk" "I'M IN THE MOODYS MOOD FOR LOVE" AND I WAS HOOKED ON HIS JAZZ STYLE. IN AMERICA HE CAME BACK 1968 WITH BONNIE & CLYDE AND I HAVE NOW LEARNED ABOUT "TRY MY WORLD". GEORGIE IS GREAT PLZ COMMENT. BEST JACK FITZPATRICK BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS.
Georgie if you are reading this you sounded great. You had them rocking ready steady here. You are amazing as a keyboardist. I like too the camera panning the drummer close up. He really laid down that beat and did great fill
Ah to be in swingin london town in that golden age of pop . On any given night you might see georgie fame, john baldry and a young rod stewart ,the yardbirds ,small faces, the mac ,the hollies and or the who. Giggn or just checkin out the competion....and the chicks....what a time it must have been
WOW - the US single has the sax solo completely cut out, here we get a double verse of it!!! What a great record, shoulda done more here in the States.
I remember watching this episode of Ready Steady Go.!! Cathy Mc Gowon Queen of the Mods. And the great Georgie Fame, Oh! the wonderful Great Music of the 1960s. REAL TALENT.
(extract from Wikipedia 2011) "Georgie Fame (born Clive Powell, 26 June 1943, Leigh, Lancashire) is a British rhythm and blues and jazz singer and keyboard player. The one-time rock and roll tour musician, who had a string of 1960s hits, is still a popular performer, often working with contemporaries such as Van Morrison and Bill Wyman. Fame took piano lessons from the age of seven and after leaving Leigh Central County Secondary School at 15, he worked for a brief period in a cotton weaving mill and played piano for a band called The Dominoes in the evenings. After taking part in a singing contest at the Butlins Holiday Camp in Pwllheli, North Wales he was offered a job there by the band leader, early British rock'n'roll star Rory Blackwell. At sixteen years of age, Fame went to London and, on the recommendation of Lionel Bart, entered into a management agreement with Larry Parnes, who had given new stage names to such artists as Marty Wilde and Billy Fury. Fame later recalled that Parnes had given him an ultimatum over his forced change of name:" It was very much against my will but he said, "If you don't use my name, I won't use you in the show". " Over the following year he toured the UK playing beside Wilde, Joe Brown, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran and others. Fame played piano for Billy Fury in his backing band The Blue Flames. When the backing band got the sack at the end of 1961, the band were re-billed as "Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames" and went on to enjoy great success with a repertoire largely of rhythm and blues numbers." Britain's Mose Allison. (Ready, Steady, Go! was the British counterpart to American Bandstand.)
I Georgie Fame do this song on one of the American shows, either Shindig or Hullabaloo. Up to that point I’d cut my teeth on guitar groups starting with the Beatles. I didn’t know what to make of this, or particularly like it, but over time I came around. Now I have a copy of this and a couple of Georgie Fame LPs.
Bill Eyden on drums - One of the best Jazz drummers around at the time - great Be-bop player - Tubby Hayes etc.. Nice Guy. Played drums on Procul Harum - Whiter Shade Of Pale.
@@nycdude999 Exactly! At first I could have sworn it was lip-synching, it sounded so like the recording. But as it went on it was clear they were really doing it. Fantastic!
Having already seen Georgie at various clubs (Ricky Tick, Flamingo) I confess to being on that studio floor, and yes they were most certainly live .. :)
A slightly longer version of this clip used to be up on here several years ago before suddenly disappearing. It showed the late Keith Fordyce (only a short glimpse of him here, right at the end) predicting that this record would reach Number One. It did.
Fortunate to have seen him twice :: In Manchester & @ Southport Arts Centre :: He is from Leigh in Lancashire \ England ~ Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames - "Yeh Yeh" - Ready, Steady, Go! [The Weekend Starts Here] !!
when I was a kid my older sister dated George, they were going to the cinema on the first date, before he came to pick her up from the house we were sat at the kitchen table having dinner, she said im gonna have a bath and get ready, I remember saying, you dont need a bath,, its dark in the cinema ,, that was met with a burst of laughter from the family..
It could be. Fame continued playing into the 1970s, having a hit with "Rosetta" with his friend Alan Price of the Animals in 1971, and they worked together extensively
Hadn't heard this in a long time, not even on the car radio and then walla, recently heard it on the car radio. What a great tune. Not sure why it's not on enough playlists. Came here and discovered the live version and it's perfecto.

This was the band that was playing at the Bag of Nails when Paul McCartney first introduced himself to Linda in 1967..
How do you know that?
This is brilliant, he & band are so hep, they’re on fire. Georgie’s delivery is so jazzy & smooth.
Whooa he is GOOD! What a performance that is still hot, and even hotter in 2021!
I never grow tired of this. Thank you Georgie and Flames!!

@@Krzyszczynski Yes you cannot bear the intimate venues in my 'Umble experience :)
Far out!
Yes!! 100%
@@Krzyszczynski I completely agree...best gigs are about 2/300..I like to se the fear/joy in their eyes!..

Another one of those çhanged the face of rock and roll songs that we had completely forgotten about.
Thank you.
He used to be my parents neighbour back in the 60's in Maida Vale, London. How cool. Love this song.
So glad I remembered this and fortunate to have found it here on RUclips
Quite a gem this one is

Amazing musicianship from Georgie & his brilliant band, playing 100 % LIVE on the best ever TV music show!
I totally agree with both statements.
Yes indeed

Keep persevering
I always loved this song.😊
what, no half dressed dancers, pyrotechnics, $50k stage set ? yet this hot band blows 'em all away!
If only you could dissolve into clips like this and return to the days of youth and happiness,Alf 77 in doomsdays 2024
Heard this in the grocery store today. Came home, checked You Tube, and here it is. My God , I havent heard this since the 60s! What a blast from the past!
I love that "The Queen's Gambit" used this song in the Netflix series. Fantastic!
What a mesmerising man.

The queen's gambit brought me here. Great song. Listened to it in college in 1965.
I always liked this song. I found myself here after hearing it on The Queen's Gambit, which is a great show on Netflix.
That voice..smooth as silk
What a doll.

Fun - when music was just bloody fun!
I remember watching him singing this on Ready Steady Go, I was 12yrs at that time. Great music.
How old are you now?

Love this tune... Love Georgie....easy on the eyes.....♥♥🥰🥰
Almost as good as Bob Downe's version ruclips.net/video/0Ec7F5HUetE/видео.html
Love this!!! Who came here from Queen's Gambit too?
Yay !
I had totally forgotten about this song - hearing it in the series was joyous! Sooo perfect for that scene!
Um, I'm of the age to remember this when it first came out. Glad they're using in shows today, cause it's great music. Glad you liked it.
WOOHOOOO!!!
Me!' 😃

Hot tune. Just smashing!! It totally still works. Not dated at all!
Yep, it STILL works!
Reminds me of happy days !
Omygosh! Songs you’ve heard and tried to sing as a kid but have never seen the singer! Yeh yeh!
Loved those simple times.....
Bill Eyden on drums - One of the best Jazz drummers around at the time - great Be-bop player - Tubby Hayes etc.. Nice Guy. Played drums on Procul Harum - Whiter Shade Of Pale.
Bill was great excellent drum fills
I'd love to have met him
I thought it was Malcolm Penn
This is after the Mitch Mitchell time.
Always wondered who the drummer was! Great drum fills! Simply but very effective! 👌
Long time favourite!
In a Class all of his Own! 'Twas Jazz right from the start, right from the Heart!
Georgie the Great!!!
Great Great ……..GREAT Days them,I remember Georgie and the Flamingo Days So Well.What a Wonderful Scene that Was.
Top Mod❤
Pretty cool. I think this is actually live, as opposed to so many of these 60's TV performances. The vocal and sax are definitely live.
Completely 100% live. Watch the drummer.
great live performance
Yes it is live. Georgie & the Blue Flames sound so good it's easy to wonder if its live or lip-synching.
@@nycdude999 Exactly! At first I could have sworn it was lip-synching, it sounded so like the recording. But as it went on it was clear they were really doing it. Fantastic!

Classic Performance from 1965.
The Queen's Gambit, S1: E6 brought me here. Again.
Saw this almost thirty years ago on Channel 4. Forgotten his name at the time. Know the song.
They don't do it like this any more...
HELL yes!
1964 I think - Lucky to see him at a hall in Carshalton . Many years ago!
Soooooo cute ❤
First time I heard Yeh Yeh NRBQ played it at River Link Park, Amsterdam NY.. Several years later I heard this on Sirius Radio.
The guy playing bass is my granddad. Tex
Fantastic - brings back memories - sang this as a 5-year-old! Cool as!
Loved it then, love it now!
I only knew of the Matt Bianco latin flavored cover of this song. Very cool. They are both excellent.
And the kids go mental! Such a great song.
So cool. Love the drummers. Love them all. Great days.
I love this song Pure Gold
I just heard this song for the first time today! It's really cool and he was cute 😍
Been listening to this video a lot. Love the sixties music !

I remember this recording fondly. Georgia Fame was a close friend of The Beatles at this time.
George fame fantastic singer and piano player exelllent keep the music going Mr fame
Love it.... Ram Jam, Flamingo, Eel Pie Island etc... great memories.... cracking band live
Yes, saw him at two of those😁
Probably from 1965. I believe that's when the show was broadcast "Live."
Late 1964 or early 1965. This number reached the top of the UK charts in January of the latter year.
How cool is this!!! Gutted that I wasn't a teenager in the 60's
Mr. H. G. Wells please give me your time machine .. I have to go back to the past ....lol
Still the same fabulous voice and even better musician!
beyond cool.....

What a great song. He does my girl great also. And I'm sorry I love Bonnie and Clyde
GROOVY!

Still got that single.Used to see them at the Flamingo.
I love it! Thank you!
At around 40 seconds in, I wonder if we get a glimpse of two of The Animals in the audience. Eric Burdon and Hilton Valentine.
It could be. Fame continued playing into the 1970s, having a hit with "Rosetta" with his friend Alan Price of the Animals in 1971, and they worked together extensively
