Yeh, Yeh

"Yeh, Yeh" is a Latin soul song originally written as an instrumental by Rodgers Grant and Pat Patrick, and first recorded by Mongo Santamaría on his album Watermelon Man!

The vocal version of the song was recorded by Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames (b/w Preach and Teach, Columbia DB 7428) and released on December 4, 1964.

It was this version which rose to the top of the UK Singles Chart in January 1965, breaking the Beatles' five week hold on the number one spot with "I Feel Fine",[2] and a month later appeared on the US Billboard pop singles chart to peak at #21.

Interviewed after the 2003 Jools Holland Spring Hootennany, where he had played a "dynamite version" of the song, Fame explained that the arrangement had been written by Tubby Hayes.

Their rendition reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart, and the top 10 in Germany and Switzerland.
