I think I said Ray Benson is the best voice in pop music.
He doesn't fall into the same category of the jazz singers
and the riffs and runs they can do.
I was pretty much introduced to Georgie Fame late in life
from the jazz show. I maybe had heard the name on and
off over time but never heard the work. He does a duet with
Jon Hendricks on Hendrick's lyric of "Little Pony" from the
Count Basie book that I never get tired of. Then there's
"Cool Cat Blues" which sounds like a tune Mose Allison would do
but I never heard it over 40 years from Mose Allison. Without
p2p I would know nothing of that Little Pony track.
There's one low note in the scant info I have on Georgie Fame
and the Blue Flames: he put out some kind of recording
with Van Morrison. Van Morrison is a bigger embarrassment to the
music industry than Mick Jagger. Well maybe it's a tie.
Yes the compilation thing is a great idea but why don't they
torrent these collections as ISO's so everyone can enjoy them?
Or pod cast?
