"The Seventh Son", also recorded as "Seventh Son", is a song written by Willie Dixon. It was released as a single by Willie Mabon on Chess Records in 1955. It has also been recorded by artists such as: Johnny Rivers on his album Meanwhile Back at the Whisky a Go Go, John Mellencamp, on the album Rough Harvest, and Billy "Crash" Craddock, on the album You Better Move On, Mose Allison, Sting, Georgie Fame, Climax Blues Band, the Soul Agents and Long John Baldry.
Rivers' version of "Seventh Son" peaked on the Billboard charts at #7.
Fame was heavily influenced from early on by jazz and by such blues musicians as Willie Mabon. He was one of the first white artists to be influenced by the ska music he heard in Jamaican cafes in and around Ladbroke Grove. Fames' trumpeter at this time, Eddie Thornton (to be heard playing on Lily Allen's 2006 hit single Smile), was Jamaican. Fame performed also at "The Roaring Twenties" club near Carnaby Street which was run by Jamaican DJ Count Suckle.
The many black American soldiers who visited the Flamingo became friends with Fame and would play him the latest jazz and blues releases from America. Of particular note were "Midnight Special" by Jimmy Smith, "Grooving With Jug" by Gene Ammons and Richard "Groove" Holmes, and "Green Onions" by Booker T and the MGs These affected him so powerfully that he was inspired to change instrument from the piano to the Hammond organ. Fame Later reacalled his three year residency at The Flamingo and the influence it had on him:
" .. it was a great place to play, a midnight to 6am thing on Fridays and Saturdays, and it was full of American GIs who came in from their bases for the weekend. They brought records with them and one of them gave me "Green Onions" by Booker T and the MG's. I had been playing piano up to that point but I bought a Hammond organ the next day." "
American Air Force authorities were to ban servicemen from the nightclub following a stabbing, but the club was soon to thrive again as a part of the emerging Mod scene. Other musicians performing at the Flamingo at the time included British jazz saxophonist Tubby Hayes and the Johnny Birch Quartet which included drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce. Members of Duke Ellington's orchestra and Count Basie's group would also frequent the club when touring England.
