Fly Navy
Fly/Navy: one of the many flight stickers adorning Fame's Hammond
Georgie Fame without his beloved Hammond organ? It's a contender for Rhod Gilbert's Celebrity Out Of Context Bingo, surely: Ant without Dec, A Chuckle Brother on his own, Jeremy Clarkson on a bus etc.
But when penning a jingle for a popular brand of petrol, Fame didn't have time in the studio to show his guitarist the chords. So he played it himself. And the song, which doesn't even mention petrol, went to Number One.
always loved his voice... didn't know he was a guitarist as well! That obviously takes him another notch up in my estimation :-)
