The Blue Flames were one of the most popular R&B bands on the London club circuit in '63/'64. Originally, the Blue Flames were Billy Fury's backing band and Fame joined them in the summer of 1961. At the end of that year Fury sacked them and they decided to see if they could "make it" on their own. It didn't take them long to establish a reputation as one of the best live bands around. Of all the groups playing the London clubs at this time, Fame and his band were the most jazz-influenced. The groups' first three singles made no impact on the charts but in late '64 "Yeh Yeh" went to the very top. The first album was recorded live in their beloved Flamingo Club. But after two more successful albums and another No. 1 single, Fame disbanded the group in September 1966.
