About this album
Closing The Gap shows Georgie Fame adapting his easy swing to the reggae-pop crossover sounds of the early 1980s. Released in 1980, the album blends rock, pop and reggae into a relaxed but purposeful set, with Fame’s phrasing giving songs a light, urbane charm. Its strongest moments come from the mix of originals and well-chosen covers, including Everything I Own, Lean On Me and Up Tight (Everything Is Alright), which suit his soulful style. The record also reflects the period’s growing interest in dub-influenced production, especially on the bonus-style feel of Give A Little More (Dub Version), making it a distinctive late chapter in his catalogue.
