Steve Marriott

No one here rated them until they became the Faces, which meant they no longer had their singer in the band that was so key to their success, at least in my mind.

Uh, The other three went on to The Faces and were no longer being fronted by Stephen Marriott.

He went on to perform Humble Pie.

Stephen Marriott being in The Small Faces is where he belonged.

That is the band of those three that I absolutely love.

Nothing against Rod Stewart.

Free, yeah.

But I have heard people say that some of the songs, like some of Miles Goodwin's vocal parts, remind them a little bit of Steve Marriott.

So that could have been an influence, too.

So yeah, I would say nothing really out of the ordinary for a rock band starting in the late 60s, early 70s.

I've always thought Dubrow is a completely underrated singer.

And you read interviews with him back in the day, and he would always point to Steve Marriott as being one of his vocal heroes.

And it totally makes sense.

And Marriott, of course, was also a hell of a singer.

I just blame it all on her.

Like Steve Marriott, he used to have like his ultimate character, Marvin, I think, you know, like this wrestler that he used to blame for everything he did really bad at night.

So Barbarella's like that.

I just blame her for everything.

Small Faces were a great band.

Uh, Steve Marriott, brilliant vocalist, guitar player.

Played in Humble Pie with, uh, Peter Framp- died in a house fire, Steve Marriott.

Ronnie Lane, Kenny Jones, longtime drummer.

Well, it's now official.

And it's just, I'm, I'm just that type of guy, like, I grew up listening to The Beatles, Zeppelin.

I liked singers like Steve Marriott, Paul Rodgers, Steven Tyler, Robert Plant, guys that had a little bit more of a raspier...

Rod Stewart, you know what I mean? Bob Seger.

They had a little bit of a raspier voice.

Jimmy reconnected with John Paul Jones, and then he went on full pursuit for a lead vocalist.

Now, he instantly thought of Steve Marriott from Small Faces and Terry Reid.

Neither were available, but Reid gave Page a recommendation to check out an unknown singer named Robert Plant.

Page found Robert Plant performing at a teacher's college in Birmingham, England, of all places, and he couldn't believe what he heard.

Woman, you need love.

Way down inside.

According to Steve Marriott, the group's vocalist and guitarist, Pedro Plant, attended several small-face gigs.

where they expressed their interest in You Need Lovin' when Marriott heard the Zeppelins' Whole Lotta Love, he was shocked that their song so closely resembled the bluesy small faces number that was co-written by Ronnie Lane and Marriott.
