Georgie Fame quotes:

I avoid the media circus, keep my head down and try to keep growing and learning things.

My generation had the best years. We missed the Second World War and caught the outburst of rock 'n' roll.

Suckle was the first West Indian DJ and he had this fantastic source of music.

The BBC were not playing the music that was happening on the street so we did an independent production because we knew we had an audience. Then we licensed the album to EMI.

Some people think I'm a rock 'n' roll musician and some think I'm a jazz musician but, for me, there is no difference.

If you had a good radio - and everybody did in those days - you could find it.

In my youth I thought I was going to be a professional rugby player.
