Steve Marriott was the ultimate front man. A giant talent that never got the credit he deserved. CZcams is a godsend. To be able to go into this musical time machine. RIP Steve. You are a legend!
Totally agree.I only discovered his music a year ago,listen to it all the time now.I don’t think he would have fitted in with The Rolling Stones, him and Mick Jagger never hit it off.
I totally agree with you. I can look back into the 60ies when I was a kid thanks to internet, and feel young again. P.S. I did not like the Rolling Stones then, but do now.
I would prefer to be old now but have lived through the best era of music ever, than be young and have today’s music. We were so lucky. Steve Marriot was such a talent, a brilliant rock voice and totally charismatic on stage. It’s sad how he ended up, but he will never be forgotten.
No wonder today's music is so flat. When you see how brilliant Steve Marriott was nothing sounds quite as good. Brilliant, so glad we have CZcams. RIP Steve Marriott.
Being so young, and actually applying his incredible talent to achieve such a brilliant (albeit brief) career, is extraordinary. Steve Marriott left us with a legacy of songs that will forever stand the test of time. I'm forever grateful.
Someone wrote "brief career". Remember he did theatre as a child (e.g.: as the Artful Dodger in "Oliver"), then went to film, TV and radio then The Small Faces and Humble Pie. All huge sucesses. He's also in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame.
True, I must have watched it at least 100 times since I fell in love with it and Steve Marriott and once spent about 3 weeks with it on high rotation inside my head... I'm not complaining... it sure beats Barbara Streisand but that's a story for another day
Rod Stewart may have sold $250million in records, but he did not even come close to the vocal emotive heartbeat of Steve Marriott. I saw Small Faces live at The Garage in Cambridge MA in the mid-70's and never will get over it
Yeah you had a good time but you were the beginning of the end. It's your generation brought us to this social justice neo communist mainstream bullshit that's crippling the world. I will never forgive my parents generation for that.
@@TheBigMclargehuge You have no idea of anything. The suffering of your generation comes from those who destroyed the 60s: the Reagan-Thatcher people...
I can't believe it's 30 years ago today since we lost this uncomparable, irreplaceable, always pitch-perfect, brilliant artist. He was the Best. God bless ya Stephen Peter Marriott 💜
RIP the four members of Small Faces Jimmy Winston (April 20, 1945 - September 26, 2020), aged 75 Ian McLagan (May 12, 1945 - December 3, 2014), aged 69 Ronnie Lane (April 1, 1946 - June 4, 1997), aged 51 Steve Marriott (January 30, 1947 - April 20, 1991), aged 44 You will be remembered as legends.
@@kritisiderakis4874 Marriot died in an accidental house fire caused by his cigarette, Lane died from Pneumonia brought on by a neurological diseases he suffered from, Winston died from lung cancer, and McLagan died from a stroke. Kenny Jones is the only surviving member.
Kenny Jones was a original member Ian mclagan wasn't Ian replaced Jimmy whinston Steve Ronnie Kenny formed the band Jimmy was added because his brother had a van to take them to there gigs
I was at the Wellington (NZ) Town Hall in 1968 for the Small Faces/Who concert. I went because I was a Who fan but I left as a Small Faces fan. Tin Soldier ROCKED and every time I hear it I am transported to a better place.
I saw them on the same infamous "68 tour in Brisbane with the Who and Paul Jones. I agree they played the Who off the stage. Our PM told the Who to get out of the country. They did and vowed never to return, a promise that they kept.
Saw them at the boxing stadium, Rushcutters Bay Sydney, on that tour... great night out for 16 year olds, but the Who were a disappointment, they didn't seem to give a shit
So sorry I upset some of your delicate genre definitions lol. Pop/Rock whatever because that matters so much doesn't it? How about we just agree that it's a great song and a great performance. Can I call it neckerchief without making anyone cry?
One of the greatest songs of the 60s. ...but 50 odd years later l can say EVER....P P Arnold adds to this video. ...Stevie Marriott so good could of been Led Zeppelin lead singer but reneged...
I recently watched a documentary about Steve's career and specifically humble pie. This is where I saw the small faces. I've always been a big fan of 60's and 70's classic rock and heard of the small faces, but thought I'd never heard their music. Man, what a high energy, massive talent they were. I could listen to this song a thousand times and never get tired of it.
@@michaelb2388 yep....I had a closer look....I can't see any cables. Still one of the best pop songs of the 60's. Probably why Steve formed Humble Pie... predominantly a live band.
P.P. Arnold's background vocal adds to the intensity of a great song. She has amazing stage presence. No easy task beside the iconic frontman, Marriot.
Saw some pics of PP Arnold of her present state: wow, still a beautiful woman. She had a hard life earning money for and bringing up her kids at such a young age, and what I see of her now foremost is a woman who survived the hardest and made her own life out of it. Very inspiring person.
Why is it always, always, always about women's looks? If she were ugly and not pleasing to your eyes, is she less than human? Men just can't understand they are insulting women, not flattering them, by implying they are "still beautiful" or "she doesn't look her age." This woman has talent, and that has nothing to do with her looks.
Tin Soldier contains the seeds of so much that would happen in rock music in the period 1968-73 and arguably well beyond even that. It certainly anticipates Led Zeppelin. Remarkable track. I read somewhere that in was recorded in 1966. Amazing.The addition of PP Arnold to a psychedelic cockney mod band (they shared a record label) makes it modern even now. One of the greatest tracks of all times.
Amen to that! My father introduced me to this track when i was just 4 years old. This, togeher with Hendrix all along the watchtower and stones gimme shelter are my top 3 tracks from that era
Exceptional talent. Phenomenal vocals, ace guitarist, brilliant songwriter. Experienced life from the bottom to the top - and back again. My generation loved this man.
In my opinion, Steve Marriot was one of the most talented popstars in the history of popmusic. What a voice and showperformance, moreover if you consider the period this song whas performed!. A white soulman who deserved so much better.
Perhaps the thumbs down was for the fact that this AMAZING live performance was RUINED by the dubbing over of the live performance, which was incredible, with the studio version, all in the name of "good quality" (which the original version already was!!!)
Another fantastic British performer. They really ruled the music world in the 60's How lucky were we to be around when these guys had hits in the charts? You can judge him personally if you like but as a performer he was among the best.
Tin Soldier was a number 3 hit in Australia in 1968, talk about sending shivers up your spine. The music is an all out blast of tremendous organ, guitars, drums and Steve's powerful voice, with the soul deep voice of P P Arnold. This was voted 30 years later in the 1990's as a top ten single. Most definitely up there with the best. Loved it from day one and still play regularly on rotation.
Steve Marriott and I really hit it off, we were soul brother, soul sister,” Arnold recalls. “He loved the way I sang and I loved the way he sang. He was just hyper in everything he did and we became lovers. He was the first British guy ever to take me home to meet his family.”Jan 9, 2020
I can whatch this video over and over again, every minute, every day, until the last moment of my life, I never get tired, its simply THE BEST MUSIC VIDEO IN HISTORY
I just discovered this song and it has to be the most underrated rock song ever. It’s ridiculously good. I can’t believe I had never heard it on a classic rock station before. Such a pity.
Hi... I was an adolescent in the '70's in England and us kids eat drank & slept Rock - have never heard this one though but I suppose there was just so much music around
@Crown Commando Please what's AOR? I was a teenager in England in the 60/70's and grew up on Rock... us kids just loved the Pirate Radio Stations broadcasting off-coast (illegal) - do you remember them or know about them? Peace & Love from Italy
Robbie Garscadden I wasn’t around in the 60s or 70s. 🤷🏻♂️ Although I have had both Faces and Humble Pie albums for years, but somehow missed Small Faces.
@@susanmargaretwills6432 The acronym AOR is for "Album Oriented Rock" and these guys make a good point. Some DJs are pasted to the demands of the programming director/business model but will play deep cuts from time to time but you do usually end up hearing the same 4 or 5 Doors, Who, Zep, Skynyrd, Stones, etc songs OVER AND OVER AND OVER...often the best tracks on many albums are rarely (if ever) heard over the airwaves, in my and the opinion of many evidently. I was still very young in the 60s (regrettably) and weaned on 70s music and forward, but eventually caught up and bought tons of albums from dozens of 60 s groups (including Small Faces who never made much of a chart splash over here in USA, the northeast anyway...but a great band and I had several of their albums)
This was from a French TV show called Bouton Rouge which was about the only pop music show we had in the 60’s in France, you get a glimpse of the presenter Claude Lattes at his desk in the last frames. I remember it as if it was yesterday, I had their records but never saw them live and they killed it: they opened with a impeccable Itchycoo Park and then PP Arnold was the lead singer on a tune while Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane gave it all in the background. When they did Tin Soldier, the French TV started the credit list within 30 seconds and cut the show right when they started the first chorus. you talk about about frustrated ! Now available at last 45 years later!
I've always wondered about this performance. PP doesn't interact with the group and doesn't look too happy. There is a tension. When the clip starts, Stevie bites his fingers in a gesture that means " yikes!". Maybe PP had just had a tantrum or maybe one of the TV people put her out ? Any one know ? There's definitely tension . . .
Totally agree with that. We didn't truly know what we had in this band and several others emulated the style and music which the SF never got credit for
What an immense talent Steve was, you'd never guess that powerful voice and the endless and extraordinary musical invention could from the scrawny, cheeky little artful dodger persona he often seemed to carry. Master stroke having PP Arnold up front with him, she should have become a major star in her own right, great voice and presence.
He left the band, sadly. It took Ronny Wood and Rod Stewart to replace Steve Marriot. Which was a good thing. Humble PIe was a money earner targeted at American stadiums by its two leading egos, Marriot and Frampton (Ex Herd lead), not in the same class as the Small Faces, IMO. Ronnie Lane was the equally brilliant creative complement Marriot lost there, BTW.
What a truly fabulous song from a great band and a singer twenty years before his time. A work of art, with PP sounding wonderful. I once travelled to Birmingham Town Hall to see Humble Pie and got there late. I managed to persuade the doorman to let us in and he did. What a night, I also slept the night in Hyde Park to watch them appearing with Grand Funk Railroad (I only went to see HP to be honest). Where are the singers like Marriot nowadays? It was a good time to be alive!
Small faces were one of my first favourite groups in the 60s. P P Arnold was a great singer. She came here, started a group up called the Nice , a group a followed with the great Keith Emerson on keyboards who then went on to form Emerson lake and palmer in 1970. From little acorns, big acorns grow. Happy times. Good music back then. Much better than the crap today.
The Small Faces & P P Arnold both signed up with independent label, Immediate Records; P P Arnold's backing band, The Nice, was named after The Small Faces' track, Here Comes The Nice.
The last 20 years has been totally crap! I don't even listen to any of it. I listen to all the old stuff and it never fails in raising my spirit and nourishing the soul.
@David Hargreaves Political Correctness, a doctrine invented and promoted throughout the world by the Soviet Marxist think tank known as the "Frankfurt School", has a lot to do with it. It stifles truth, free thought, creativity and all traits that contribute to the arts of all kinds, as it does in all fields of human activity. We have had 90 years of that doctrine and it's force has been felt more significantly in the past 40 years or so by my estimation, as it took hold through the generations, slowly and insidiously at first and them more rapidly and today completely overtly!
Love if you love the Small Faces You might notice their influence on this song. czcams.com/video/pLLAOb_qRNs/video.htmlsi=1Cz9AKwY5NlfVzys Hoping for your comment in the link
Small Faces had a great sound. I'm going to do some more research into them. I play in a bar band. I think we need to add a few Small Faces covers to our play list!
Yes, good music is often timeless, my daughter only listened to Bob Marley when she was 1 to 3 years old, it is timeless too. As is Scott Walker. Not like the crap they call music today, no key change in a song? Auto tune to make sure you aren't flat or sharp sadly ruining music because the flaws are what can make it good. Imagine if Lou Reed used Auto tune? It would have ruined his music. Oh, and soft core porn videos, that's what sells "music" these days. I hate music videos for that.
I could listen to this over and over.....the song has 3 distinct parts.....one of my fave bands of all time......really underrated......one of the greatest bands of all time!
I know everyone loves the music from their 'Youth' but that was a fantastic time to be young, from a music perspective. So many stomping tracks that really got your pulse racing. Steve Marriot had, pretty much, the perfect 'rock' voice and his delivery really gave this song an enormous depth of feeling. What a truly terrific track it is - such a shame it is not played more widely - and such a shame Steve tragically died so young.
The Small faces with Steve Marriott & the Faces with Ron Wood ft. Rod Stewart doing vocals were just two different rock bands that were just very very good.!.
Todd Everett I see your point, I thought maybe they did a rendition of one tin soldier, heard of them before, the name that is, another short lived band had a similar name, gonna listen to this more, it’s new to me
As a musician my humble opinion is Rod Stewart ate him for launch. It Was egotistical of Marriott to thinlk they Faces would beg him.. Nope Woody just asked Rod and the rest is R&R history.
Steve Marriott was the ultimate front man. A giant talent that never got the credit he deserved. CZcams is a godsend. To be able to go into this musical time machine. RIP Steve. You are a legend!

agree and I'm a lifelong Stones fan having first seen them in 1962
Yep. Marriott the most under rated man in rock.
One of the greatest rock voices ever. Up there with Robert Plant, Paul Rogers
One of the greatest songs of all time. A musical masterpiece.
So pleased my dad brought me up with the small faces, The Beatles, The kinks etc. I’m 16 now, and nothing in my generation compares to this
iam with u on that .. fantastic ❤
Your father is a smart man
You have a cool dad with great taste in music 👏👏👏
Keep Groovin!!!
Nothing in any generation compares to this.
Not many things make me happy to be a 70’s child now I’m 69, but this song certainly does..
Me too brother, you have a year on me, but I just love this song.🙏👍
I'm 68 and I keep coming back to this, it is a brilliant video.
Look at what is in the charts now. Look and weep for mankind. This is perfection
I hate to be a cranky old man here - but today's pop music is shit.
Unfortunately you’re right.
You are so right, this is fucking A
I wouldn't know what's on the charts these days as I stopped listening when they stopped making music 30 years ago.
There are one or two benefits to knocking on seventy. We were extraordinarily lucky.
I would prefer to be old now but have lived through the best era of music ever, than be young and have today’s music. We were so lucky. Steve Marriot was such a talent, a brilliant rock voice and totally charismatic on stage. It’s sad how he ended up, but he will never be forgotten.
Absolutely this was real music not a bunch of people in sports wear and hats on back to front flapping their arms to drill music.
He's a living God, 2nd only to Jesus H Christ.
Nah. Would rather be young. sigh
Pfft! That’s what OUR parents said about OUR music!
i wish to also be old now. but my life's just started. i wish to live through the 60s and the 70s so bad.
No wonder today's music is so flat. When you see how brilliant Steve Marriott was nothing sounds quite as good. Brilliant, so glad we have CZcams. RIP Steve Marriott.
No over produced music and vocals. Groups would just set up and play. No, it's never perfect, but the music was more raw and emotive.
Probably the greatest song in the 60s
Will somebody please give this video a thumbs up for me, I'm only allowed one.
Done!
@@christinemaclean3718 Thank you kind lady. ;-)
My pleasure!
Sure will pal class
Classics are class
Almost 2000 wankers out there voted this masterpiece down .
Thank God they are in the minority, this is sheer class!
I can’t see anybody downing this video. I’m looking at thumbs up and thumbs down, am I looking at the wrong place?
Right on Top Song.
LOL .....
To think he was only 20 maybe 21 at the time is unimaginable. What a voice and stage presence for such a young man
And only 19 when they did Ichycoo Park!
Being so young, and actually applying his incredible talent to achieve such a brilliant (albeit brief) career, is extraordinary. Steve Marriott left us with a legacy of songs that will forever stand the test of time. I'm forever grateful.
A little like Steve Winwood.

Great reminder of his incredible talent. Even so as expected he was described as "under-rated" in one of the comments. @@stephenoneill245
Impossible to cover this song this is as good as it gets just magnificent
Wish we could turn the clock back to those times when music was great and the bands brilliant.Still love this song...❤🏴👍
Smiles, hi Lynda 🤗
Cant stop looking at this absolute gem ..PP Arnold adds to the genius of Marriot .She is and was a real talent on her own ..
treu
Agree wholeheartedly
Each member was like a small miracle in themselves and PP Arnold s voice only added to the moment
True, I must have watched it at least 100 times since I fell in love with it and Steve Marriott and once spent about 3 weeks with it on high rotation inside my head... I'm not complaining... it sure beats Barbara Streisand but that's a story for another day
Arguably, the greatest voice in rock.R.I.P. Steve.👏👏👏

Yeah, RS couldn't hold a candle to Marriot.
Absolutely mate...the industry was criminal to steve
ive never really been able to get into rod stewart, it's bizarre to me that he was so successful over so many more rockin' people.
all my respect for rod ...but steve was another thing
@@giovannivisentin1026 He was indeed- Little Stevie was the original Modfather!
Steve Marriott is one of the greatest voices in Rock n' Roll history... period!
Too bad it can't be heard. This ain't live!
Frank D more like question mark?
Together with P. P. Arnold !
The ultimate voice IMO,,,,,,,,,,,,,and he made it look easy, yet no one could touch him as a singer.
Sure. Right behind Sebastian Bach, Brad Delp, Mickey Thomas, John Fogerty, Dave Johansen, Mike Reno, Chris Thompson and Jonny Lang.
Brilliant. Still in 2023 there are new listeners for this song and band. Including myself.
Takes me back to a different era!✊🇨🇦
The best era for real rock. Loved living these times. No cell phones and we talked and had a blast.
Unless you lived it, you will never know just how awesome it was for our generation to
experience the sixties

I was born in the wrong decade so sad this band were ripped off big time
Saw Steve Marriott in Dunfermline in the early eighties with 'his packet of three.' Brilliant night.
Yes they were ripped off. I think Steve was the best rock singer front man. The Live at the Fillmore album is awesome. Great point Bustygirl1970!
Great
@@arthurgordon6072 Saw him Odeon Gloucester 1967 I think. Colossal.

Watching this for about the 1000th time....blows me away everytime, steve marriot Total Legend
Same here,maybe in the hundreds,class singer and guitarist.
Loved it as a kid, love it today.
One of the greatest pop songs ever written. Stevie Marriott's incomparably wild delivery beautifully counterpointed by PP Arnold's grace and poise.
not pop, rock
Quite right
Because today, talent is not a prerequisite
Obviously this is not a popular song, it's hard rock and this is how you should play music. Let's go Small Faces!!!!
So sorry I upset some of your delicate genre definitions lol. Pop/Rock whatever because that matters so much doesn't it? How about we just agree that it's a great song and a great performance. Can I call it neckerchief without making anyone cry?

Was low as fuck this morning. Played this. Now, I'm buzzing !!
Best haircut, best voice, best looks, best floor slides...Steve had it all. The ultimate pop star.
Rock, not Pop.
Wow are you in love
Unfortunately, The Small Faces were encumbered by Don Arden, their 'manager'. The greatest shame in the history of popular music.
He lost both his hair and his looks not long afterwards when he hit the dope and booze hard.

Excellent. After 50 years I've decided this is their best one.

This song has been requested by myself when they are placing my funeral box into the ground............FACT
Have to agree with you it being there best. Was great back in the 60s when it came out and still great today
all or nothin the greatest one then tin soldier its close though great choice anyway thumbs up from me
@Brisdad53 really good choose he is brilliant singing that but that was really close still the same for me
Oh yes. I'd totally agree. Then all or nothing.
P P Arnold beautiful and talented lady who is still going strong today.
Unlike my PP which has just about given up the ghost.
Hello Janet.. how are things going with you?
Tin Soldier was a number 3 hit in Australia in 1968, talk about sending shivers up your spine. The music is an all out blast of tremendous organ, guitars, drums and Steve's powerful voice, with the soul deep voice of P P Arnold. This was voted 30 years later in the 1990's as a top ten single.
Most definitely up there with the best. Loved it from day one and still play regularly on rotation.
Yes he was wonderful
Same as Stevie Wright from The Easybeats
Two best front men ever . Charisma overload.
These memories are long gone, except in the back of my mind... till my last breath!
Steve Marriott talent is in another world, how this world misses you Steve
R I P Ian , Ronnie and Stevie , Thanks for the music and the memories lads .
Steve Marriott and I really hit it off, we were soul brother, soul sister,” Arnold recalls. “He loved the way I sang and I loved the way he sang. He was just hyper in everything he did and we became lovers. He was the first British guy ever to take me home to meet his family.”Jan 9, 2020
I watch this video every day and I am astounded every time. What a phenomenal talent Steve Marriott was. Blows my mind.
Marriott had the charisma of a seasoned rock performer despite being so young here-simply amazing.
They played live gigs to make a living .They paid the rent with their rock🤔
I grew up with this music.
The 60s were the best of times.
Steve Marriott was the ultimate front man.
So sad what happened to him.
P P Arnold was the envy of many, she brought another dimension to was was exceptional music, can you image how great they would be now…
I can whatch this video over and over again, every minute, every day, until the last moment of my life, I never get tired, its simply THE BEST MUSIC VIDEO IN HISTORY
PP Arnold really gets the groove in this look at her lovely smile and dancing when it builds - just superb ❤️👌
small faces at their very best one of the finest singles ever made
It is the greatest song ever from a year ending in 8
In my own top ten sir !
Stranger comes to town
all or nothing is mine but this is second
Didn't they do Ichy Goo Park?
Make rock like this again I'm 66 I remember well
I watch this often just to see her smile, gives the band a feeling of warmth
I just discovered this song and it has to be the most underrated rock song ever. It’s ridiculously good. I can’t believe I had never heard it on a classic rock station before. Such a pity.
Jesus where have you been... Mars? been a classic since it was released
Hi... I was an adolescent in the '70's in England and us kids eat drank & slept Rock - have never heard this one though but I suppose there was just so much music around
@Crown Commando Please what's AOR? I was a teenager in England in the 60/70's and grew up on Rock... us kids just loved the Pirate Radio Stations broadcasting off-coast (illegal) - do you remember them or know about them? Peace & Love from Italy
Robbie Garscadden I wasn’t around in the 60s or 70s. 🤷🏻♂️ Although I have had both Faces and Humble Pie albums for years, but somehow missed Small Faces.
@@susanmargaretwills6432 The acronym AOR is for "Album Oriented Rock" and these guys make a good point. Some DJs are pasted to the demands of the programming director/business model but will play deep cuts from time to time but you do usually end up hearing the same 4 or 5 Doors, Who, Zep, Skynyrd, Stones, etc songs OVER AND OVER AND OVER...often the best tracks on many albums are rarely (if ever) heard over the airwaves, in my and the opinion of many evidently. I was still very young in the 60s (regrettably) and weaned on 70s music and forward, but eventually caught up and bought tons of albums from dozens of 60 s groups (including Small Faces who never made much of a chart splash over here in USA, the northeast anyway...but a great band and I had several of their albums)
This was from a French TV show called Bouton Rouge which was about the only pop music show we had in the 60’s in France, you get a glimpse of the presenter Claude Lattes at his desk in the last frames. I remember it as if it was yesterday, I had their records but never saw them live and they killed it: they opened with a impeccable Itchycoo Park and then PP Arnold was the lead singer on a tune while Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane gave it all in the background. When they did Tin Soldier, the French TV started the credit list within 30 seconds and cut the show right when they started the first chorus. you talk about about frustrated ! Now available at last 45 years later!
Wow, we didn't know that! Thanks for sharing
Thanks. The Small Faces don't get the credit they deserve.
czcams.com/video/zF4HIWX_vxE/video.html.
I've always wondered about this performance. PP doesn't interact with the group and doesn't look too happy. There is a tension.
When the clip starts, Stevie bites his fingers in a gesture that means " yikes!". Maybe PP had just had a tantrum or maybe one of the TV people put her out ? Any one know ? There's definitely tension . . .
Most underrated singer ever
This is one of the greatest rock and roll videos ever. Steve Marriot!
This song still sounds as fresh as did over 53 years after it was recorded.
Unbeatable genius
@@andymatthews7617 I agree!
I'd say it sounds even better!
Totally agree with that. We didn't truly know what we had in this band and several others emulated the style and music which the SF never got credit for
Incomparable ...the intensity that Steve M delivers grabs you by the throat and doesn't let you go, till the end ....
Such an iconic song. Still gives me goosebumps
Whenever I listen to Steve Marriott I ask myself, is this the most talented guy in the history of rock and roll? I think he might be.
Yeah I think he was, waaaaaay a head of the times, but always current. Amazing talent.
Can't help but think how much he must of influenced Weller
Weller tried to sing this song
What an immense talent Steve was, you'd never guess that powerful voice and the endless and extraordinary musical invention could from the scrawny, cheeky little artful dodger persona he often seemed to carry. Master stroke having PP Arnold up front with him, she should have become a major star in her own right, great voice and presence.
What a great, great front man !
Little Stevie Marriott had the voice, the songs and one hell of a band.
A class act who deserved much better......
You said it good!!!
He left the band, sadly. It took Ronny Wood and Rod Stewart to replace Steve Marriot. Which was a good thing. Humble PIe was a money earner targeted at American stadiums by its two leading egos, Marriot and Frampton (Ex Herd lead), not in the same class as the Small Faces, IMO. Ronnie Lane was the equally brilliant creative complement Marriot lost there, BTW.
Brian, totally agree with you.
That's just the way things sadly play themselves out.
Remember Steve this way......
Felix ra bin
I agree....so under rated this band
What a truly fabulous song from a great band and a singer twenty years before his time. A work of art, with PP sounding wonderful. I once travelled to Birmingham Town Hall to see Humble Pie and got there late. I managed to persuade the doorman to let us in and he did. What a night, I also slept the night in Hyde Park to watch them appearing with Grand Funk Railroad (I only went to see HP to be honest). Where are the singers like Marriot nowadays? It was a good time to be alive!
Still one of my favorite, haven’t lost anything of his magic! Pity they don’t make music like that anymore, it’s a lost.
Small faces were one of my first favourite groups in the 60s. P P Arnold was a great singer. She came here, started a group up called the Nice , a group a followed with the great Keith Emerson on keyboards who then went on to form Emerson lake and palmer in 1970. From little acorns, big acorns grow. Happy times. Good music back then. Much better than the crap today.
I have the Five Bridges Suit by "The Nice". Bought it back in about 1971 when I was 19. I wonder if it has value.
The Small Faces & P P Arnold both signed up with independent label, Immediate Records; P P Arnold's backing band, The Nice, was named after The Small Faces' track, Here Comes The Nice.
How in the bloody hell did music go from this, to the unbelievable crap we have today?
The last 20 years has been totally crap! I don't even listen to any of it. I listen to all the old stuff and it never fails in raising my spirit and nourishing the soul.
too much soy in the water
One of the mysteries for the ages!
A reflection of a superficial, materialistic, prepackaged, mass manufactured society.
@David Hargreaves Political Correctness, a doctrine invented and promoted throughout the world by the Soviet Marxist think tank known as the "Frankfurt School", has a lot to do with it. It stifles truth, free thought, creativity and all traits that contribute to the arts of all kinds, as it does in all fields of human activity.
We have had 90 years of that doctrine and it's force has been felt more significantly in the past 40 years or so by my estimation, as it took hold through the generations, slowly and insidiously at first and them more rapidly and today completely overtly!
this song is so beautiful it makes me cry..
Steve Marriott was a force of nature. RIP. Steve you were and still are brilliant. Thank you for making my life a whole lot better.
47 years old, but fresh like new!!! Wonderful!!!
51 years get it right :)
Yes, it is so true, I am 70 and love this 😍😍😍🇩🇪😁
What a big voice from small man 😊
Love if you love the Small Faces
You might notice their influence on this song.

Hoping for your comment in the link
The breathtaking greatness of the Small Faces is far too overlooked.
+gustavo pereira I concur......there were many better bands!
+Sue Sundowner your so right sue.
There is no better, it's simply a matter of opinion.
With all due respect....I really believe anyone would find the small faces/Faces contrast...is apples and bowling balls...
HAHA HA thats my response
There was nothing small about the talent of this 60's British rock group .....
Small Faces had a great sound.
I'm going to do some more research into them. I play in a bar band. I think we need to add a few Small Faces covers to our play list!
Put this band at Glastonbury next year change nothing, they would blow the roof off. Nuff. said-Legend.
If they were alive they would! The tragedy of rock'n'roll is that so many of them didn't live to peak as musicians in their sixties.
Straight facts brother
Your not wrong ✌️✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧
It would be the best Glastonbury ever.
Yes, good music is often timeless, my daughter only listened to Bob Marley when she was 1 to 3 years old, it is timeless too. As is Scott Walker. Not like the crap they call music today, no key change in a song? Auto tune to make sure you aren't flat or sharp sadly ruining music because the flaws are what can make it good. Imagine if Lou Reed used Auto tune? It would have ruined his music. Oh, and soft core porn videos, that's what sells "music" these days. I hate music videos for that.
What a voice, one of Britain's finest.
The favorite band of my sister..they played this song on her funeral she become 61. Love you Gerda 🖤
I'm sure your sister was a wonderful person.
I could listen to this over and over.....the song has 3 distinct parts.....one of my fave bands of all time......really underrated......one of the greatest bands of all time!
I would like to have seen the fist distinctive part continue.
I came across this fascinating music around 1968 what an amazing times we once lived.
Oh my what a gorgeous love song; sing it out loud and clear…what a very bombastic sound!!😅
😻
I know everyone loves the music from their 'Youth' but that was a fantastic time to be young, from a music perspective. So many stomping tracks that really got your pulse racing. Steve Marriot had, pretty much, the perfect 'rock' voice and his delivery really gave this song an enormous depth of feeling. What a truly terrific track it is - such a shame it is not played more widely - and such a shame Steve tragically died so young.
Have heard 2022 youth music? That crap won't stick
Yes mate, a really fantastic time to be young, 70 now and still love that era. We were blessed.
Ahhh. The days of 8 trac.
@@mgc6813 Most of it already gone and forgotten forever
I was a junior in high school. This was was pure teenboy heaven
I'm old. I was around when this came out. I've never seen this before. I'm gob-smacked!
Love CZcams for these kind of treasures.
The Small faces with Steve Marriott & the Faces with Ron Wood
ft. Rod Stewart doing vocals were just two different
rock bands that were just very very good.!.
We don’t have to choose, Steve and Rod are among the very best ever.
He was a force of nature.
He was Nature....every dang bit of it...
Bought this single when it came out in the sixties. It was way ahead of its time and still sounds amazing.
Songs like this will be remembered long after she's gone unliik
One of the all time greatest male voices in rock
One of The Most Under Rated Vocalist's Ever,The Legendary Steve Marriot
And Ronnie Lane was pretty good too.
Can't argue with that..........
He's not underrated. Anyone who's opinion matters recognise's he's one of the very greatest ever. If you want underrated ? Terry reid
Todd Everett I see your point, I thought maybe they did a rendition of one tin soldier, heard of them before, the name that is, another short lived band had a similar name, gonna listen to this more, it’s new to me
As a musician my humble opinion is Rod Stewart ate him for launch. It Was egotistical of Marriott to thinlk they Faces would beg him..
Nope Woody just asked Rod and the rest is R&R history.
