First known performance:
“"Mose Allison I know about through Georgie Fame. The Beatles and Georgie are my two favourite British artists of the '60s. I had the albums. Sound Venture is fantastic. If Georgie Fame was American, he'd be revered. I guess "Bonnie and Clyde" got him tagged as a novelty guy. But I never realised, no offence, but Georgie was basically doing a Mose Allison.
