You guys have seen lead singer Steve Marriott in Humble Pie when you listened to Black Coffee. Marriott started Humble Pie after he left the Small Faces which then morphed into the Faces. The 70’s were chock full of bands of talented people forming, breaking up & and reforming in new combinations. Hard to keep track of. :) But yeah, Steve Marriott, Small Faces & Humble Pie are all sadly underrated these days.

Under rated is not the correct word to use for this brilliantly talented band and especially for Steve Marriott. In their day, Small faces were in the top4 rated bands with Beatles, Stones, Who. They produced hit after hit and toured Europe constantly. However, they never came to America during the British Invasion period for several reasons, and "Itchicoo Park" was the only song to make it into the charts (#14, I think). Steve was highly regarded by his peers - David Bowie, Roger Daltry and many others have called him the greatest white soul/rock singer Britain ever produced, and Robert Plant famously Idolized them, as demonstrated when he copied Steve's style in "You Need Lovin" for Whole Lotta Love. Relatively unknown is a better description than under rated. Jimmy Page and Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) both coveted Steve for the new bands they were forming, but Steve said - "no, thank you". Keith Richards twice asked Steve to audition for the Stones, but it didn't work out. Those of us who know, KNOW how great they were. Please play more Try "You Need Lovin it will blow you mind...

RIP Steve Marriott (1947-1991) sadly he died in a fire at his house in Essex. Small Faces were an English rock band from London, founded in 1965. The group originally consisted of Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones and Jimmy Winston, with Ian McLagan replacing Winston as the band's keyboardist in 1966.The band was one of the most acclaimed and influential mod groups of the 1960s,recording hit songs such as "Itchycoo Park", "Lazy Sunday", "All or Nothing" and "Tin Soldier", as well as their concept album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake. They evolved into one of the UK's most successful psychedelic bands until 1969. In 1960s Britain, The Small Faces were serious rivals to The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Kinks (The Beatles were in their own league). They had fourteen hit singles and five hit albums in the UK plus commercial success across mainland Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Peace out.

Ian McLagan replaced Jimmy Winston in November 1965, according to other sources. I'm sure it's true, because I read an article about the SFs in the UK's "Rave" magazine dated Dec 1965, and he was definitely on board for that. The piece was probably written several weeks before it actually appeared in print, given the long lead-times needed for preparing mags back then.

I loved the story of how Ian McLagan came to be in the band. It was like it was meant to happen. Mac was on tour with Bozz Scaggs at the time and their van broke down for the umpteenth time. He was fed up, quit and went back home. Meanwhile the music press had issued a live review of one of Scagg’s shows, highlighting Mac in the keyboards. However, they made a mistake and printed a photo of Bozz with the caption underneath saying it was Mac. Mac’s dad had already noticed the Small Faces and told him he should be one of them, but Mac just said “fat chance”. The morning he after he arrived home, he got a call from a record company exec asking him if he was available for an audition. The Small Faces had already been told they were going to hold auditions to find a replacement fir Winston, who btw was taller than the rest of the band. Bear in mind that they only saw the picture of Bozz, who was also taller, and thought this was Mac. The next day Mac came to audition, thinking it was for a studio musician job, he didn’t know until he got there that it was for the Small Faces. When the rest of the band were called into the office to meet him and saw Mac, their immediate reaction was “he’s one of us, he’s small!”.

The Small Faces name comes from the fact all the members were small in physical stature and a 'Face' was someone seen as a leader and snappy dresser in the fashion conscious mid 1960s London mod culture from which they came. Steve Marriott was a big influence on Robert Plant, lead singer of the biggest band of the 70s (not Queen as those aggressive revisionists today would like us to believe) but Led Zeppelin.

Ronnie Lane also had a tragic story. I saw him live in London a few times, the last time being in ‘81, just before he announced that he had MS. He had already known that he had it for some time, but was unwilling to go public immediately until he knew he could no longer perform. He was so well-loved by fellow musicians, who came together for a concert in aid of ARMS (Action Research into Multiple Sclerosis). They also came together for a tribute to him after he died. According to Ian McLagan, when he called Ronnie to tell him of Steve’s death, Ronnie replied “lucky beggar”. It might seem an awful thing to say for those nit in the know, but he was referring to the fact that Steve had a relatively quick death in comparison to his painfully slow death. My brother had MS, so I know how Ronnie felt. My brother was being fed by a tube and at one point wanted it to be stopped. He had heard from a member of his church another member, who also had MS, had stopped the feeding and died within two weeks, and that was what he wanted. I was shocked and told him that he would then starve to death (which I hear can be painful). His reply was “I’m dying every day a bit more anyway”. That was what Ronnie was also dealing with, and he knew it was going to be that way from the start, because he had watched his own mother die of it. The Rolling Stones were paying for his treatment in the US and at first he seemed to get a bit better, but then he relapsed and never recovered. He passed away in 1997, after battling the disease for at least 17 years. The documentary dedicated to bim, called the Passing Show, is imo one of the best rockumentaries ever made.

All these groups from the 60's that left a mark of longevity, they were so talented and inspired to outdo each other on levels of what was next on the hit parade. Just imagine that most of these groups bar a few never really reached no1 status with more than 1 or 2 songs because of the strength of what was being released week in week out for near 8 years, by so many artists, constantly changing and keeping up with trends from 1962 to 1970. They all deserve a special place on the mantle piece of history for leaving a legacy that will never be forgotten, and appreciated more because of all the video and musical platforms that are out there showing their worth. Thank you to all those that keep the faith going.

Been suggesting this one since I first subscribed. Steve Marriott is one of the greatest rock singers of all time. I thought you had already reacted to one of his songs from when he was with Humble Pie (you did. You reacted to him performing Black Coffee) I like this video. Someone took the studio version and overlayed it on a live performance. So even though the audio doesn't match up perfectly with the visuals, you do get to see how dynamic a performer Marriott was. The story behind the song is interesting. Marriott was kinda obsessed with model Jenny Rylance, who was in a relationship with Rod Stewart at the time. She initially saw him as a kid and didn't take him too seriously. When she broke up with Stewart, Marriott stepped up his game and even wrote this song for her (with that in mind, look at these lyrics "But I don't understand And all I need, is treat me like a man 'Cause I ain't no child Take me like I am"). They eventually married. Rod Stewart would end up replacing Marriott when he left Small Faces and formed Humble Pie. Small Faces changed their name to Faces.

The name 'Small Faces' came from a remark by a girl friend that they all had small faces (and none of the settled line-up were over 5' 6"). It was particularly appropriate because as a 'Mod' band 'face' was an expression used in Mod culture denoting a well-known and respected mod. Marriot was said to have had a big influence on the vocal sound of Led Zeppelin; Jimmy Page was an admirer of Marriot's singing style and the young Robert Plant was a familiar presence at Small Faces gigs.

Steve Marriott is one of the greatest vocalist in rock. Steve would leave The Small Faces to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton & the remaining 3 members of The Small Faces would join forces with Ron Wood & Rod Stewart to become The Faces. Must listen Humble Pie, Black Coffee, Natural Born Bugie , Hot N Nasty, You’re So Good For Me, C’mon Everybody, I Don’t Need No Doctor, I Can’t Stand The Rain, Thunderbox , 30 Days In The Hole, The Fixer, Stone Cold Fever, Shine On, Four Day Creep & Honky Tonk Woman.

ARNOLD who had some hits as a solo performer, most notably FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST written by Cat Stevens and covered by Rod Stewart.

The Small Faces invented Heavy Rock (controversial, there's a few claimants to that). Listen to 1969's, Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am. Heavy lick. Clever lyrics. A lot of their lyrical content is pretty deep. You want the real Small Faces experience, try their psychedelic concept album, Ogden's Nut Gone Flake. One of the stand out, landmark, albums of the 60's.

Ian McLagen was a great keyboard player. Kenney Jones is a great drummer who went on to play in Faces and the Who. Ronnie Lane, the bass player was a genius, check out Debris by Faces and his solo stuff. Marriott was one of the greatest voices in rock music ever. RIP Macca, Ronnie and Steve. And yes, Itchycoo Park and Lazy Sunday for 60s pop whimsy, but Afterglow (Of Your Love), My Way of Giving (avoid the live version), Every Little Bit Hurts and All or Nothing for serious, serious rock.

The black girl was not one of the Small Faces, but was P. P. Arnold, an American soul singer who started her career as an Ikette with the Ike and Tina Turner Revue in 1965. The following year she moved to London to pursue a solo career and became a popular singer in the U.K. Steve Marriott would later leave the Small Faces to form Humble Pie ( of which Peter Frampton was a member). Rod Stewart and Ron Wood would join the Small Faces, and the name would be shortened to The Faces. Rod Stewart would later leave for a solo career and Ron Wood would become one of the Rolling Stones. A little later still, Kenney Jones ( the drummer for the Small Faces and the Faces) would become the drummer for the Who after Keith Moon's death.

When I first saw the title of the song I misunderstood which song this was... I thought it was the song "One Tin Soldier". An anti-war song from 1969. That song was originally done by The Original Caste but was remade for the movie The Legend of Billy Jack by a band called Coven in 1971. After multiple member changes this group Small Faces eventually evolves into the band The Faces with Rod Stewart.

Steve Marriott & Small Faces are among the Greats from the 60's up there with Kinks, Spencer Davis Group, Yardbirds & others. As an old hippy I would urge you to try "Lazy Sunday" though I love their earlier "All Or Nothing" Steve's energy comes through on that track too.

Itchycoo Park is a good one to react to. Afterglow of Your Love and All or Nothing also come recommeded. And you're right about the name drop. They replaced the frontman, Steve Marriott, with Rod Stewart around '69ish, and added another guitarist, Ronnie Wood. The label wanted them to stick with the Small Faces name, but given the lineup change the band wanted to draw a line in the sand between their two eras, so dropped the Small.

Steve Marriott was one of the best British singers in the 1960s. After The Small Faces, Steve Marriott formed Humble Pie with Peter Frampton. I saw him as a solo act sing his hit Fool for a Pretty Face is 1980. Check out Itchycoo Park and Sha la la la lee and All or Nothing. Itchycoo Park reached #16 on the US charts, nothing else got into the top 40. But, they had plenty of hits in the UK and Europe. He died too young, and did not get the fame he deserved in the USA.

He was also a great Guitarist RIP Steve Marriott. The Female Singer is also worth a mention. PP Arnold she came over to England with Ike and Tina Turner in the mid 60’s She had a couple of big hits including’First Cut Is The Deepest’ by Cat Stevens. She was always in demand as a backing vocalist with the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd and others!

Steve Marriott was a force of nature that died way too early. As others have pointed out he was also the voice behind Hot Coffee by Humble Pie. He was under-appreciated in the late 70s and 80s. I think people forgot how good he really was. They chose the name Small Faces because they were all short, 5' 5'' or under. The band changed their name to the Faces with Steve left ( to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton) and was replaced by Rod Stewart and Ron Wood (who were not short). The rest of the band was the same in both groups. I think you two were starting to make this connection at the end of the video, noting the similarities between the two groups. Love had lots of great suggestions. Itchycoo Park is great, floaty and psychedelic.However, I'd love to see you react to 30 Days in the Hole by Humble Pie, another rocker; or Oh La La by the Faces which it a bit lighter. You might recognize the second song. It's been used in tons or commercials and movies over the last few years.

Steve Marriott was so underrated… awesome singer awesome guitarist, blues driven rock at its best… unfortunately he was robbed financially by trusted people, ie agents and such .. sadly his life came to an end in a house fire.. much missed and sadly underrated.. it took two people to replace him in the small faces… allegedly turned down for the Rolling Stones as Jagger didn’t like the competition….inspired legendary singer Robert Plant of Led Zep fame and dozens of others… if only he’d been managed fairly just think of what direction music would’ve taken ….RIP STEVE
