In Memoriam | Steve Marriott |1947-1991 | You, Sir, Were A Bad Ass Frontman

I always stayed away from the band Small Faces because I knew Rod Stewart used to front that band. I recently found a copy of Small Faces’ “Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake” and when I listened to the first few tracks off the album I said to myself, “This isn’t Rod Stewart.”

Steve Marriott was the original front man of Small Faces, and to my dismay, I just found that out. He’s got a killer rock voice. Check out the 1968 video clip of Small Faces, fronted by Steve Marriott, singing “Talk To You” and “Rollin’ Over”.

I found another killer video of Humble Pie performing “Black Coffee” back in 1973.  Wow.  I wish I could sound like that.  Artful dodger indeed.

Look’s like I’ll have to look into Humble Pie now…
