Reviews:
“Recorded live at a London club in 1963, this is a bit stiffer than Fame's mid-'60s peak, but finds him gravitating toward his idiosyncratic blend of R&B and jazz. This R&B-oriented set includes covers of classics by Mose Allison, Smokey Robinson, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Rufus Thomas.” AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger
