 moreIn 1966, with his EMI contract up, Farlowe was snatched up by Andrew
Oldham, who knew a thing or two about white Britons who could sing R&B, having
signed the Rolling Stones three years earlier, and put him under contract to his
new Immediate Records label. Immediate's history with unestablished artists is
mostly a story of talent cultivated for future success, but with Farlowe it was
different -- he actually became a star on the label, through the label. His luck
began to change early on, as he saw a Top 40 chart placement with his
introduction of the Jagger/Richards song "Think," which the Rolling Stones later
released as an album track on Aftermath. That summer, he had the biggest hit of
his career with his rendition of the Stones' "Out of Time," in a moody and
dramatic version orchestrated by Arthur Greenslade, which reached number one on
the British charts. Farlowe had enough credibility as a soul singer by then to
be asked to appear on the Ready, Steady, Go broadcast of September 16, 1966, a
special program featuring visiting American soul legend Otis Redding -- he'd
covered Redding's "Mr. Pitiful" on an Immediate EP, and now Farlowe was on stage
with Otis (and Eric Burdon), and got featured in two numbers.

That was to be his peak year, however. The subsequent single releases on
Immediate, including his version of the Stones' "Ride on Baby," failed to match
the success of the first two singles, and he last charted for Immediate with
"Handbags and Gladrags," written for him by Manfred Mann's Mike d'Abo. The
label, always in dire financial straits, tried repackaging his songs several
different ways on LP, but after 1967 his recording career was more or less
frozen until the label's demise in 1970. After that, Farlowe's story became one
of awkward match-ups with certain groups, including the original Colosseum on
three albums, and Atomic Rooster (post-Carl Palmer). Following a car accident
that left him inactive for two years, he made an attempt at re-forming the
Thunderbirds in the mid-'70s, and "Out of Time" kept turning up in various
reissues, but he saw little new success. Farlowe was rescued from oblivion by
his better-known contemporary (and fellow Immediate Records alumnus) Jimmy Page,
appearing on the latter's Outrider album in the '80s, which heralded a BBC
appearance that brought him back to center stage in the public consciousness for
the first time in two decades. Farlowe followed this up with new albums and
touring with various reconstituted '60s and '70s groups, and although he never
saw another hit single, his reputation as a live performer was enough to sustain
a career -- nor did the release of his Ready, Steady, Go appearance with Otis
Redding on videotape and laser disc exactly hurt his reputation; indeed, that
was the first time many Americans appreciated just how serious a following he'd
had in England. His recent albums, including The Voice, have gotten respectable
reviews, and his Immediate Records legacy was finally getting treated properly
in the 21st century, as well. Along with Manfred Mann's Mike d'Abo and Paul
Jones, Farlowe remains one of those voices from 1960s England that -- with good
reason -- hasn't faded and simply won't disappear. © Bruce Eder
