And you wiil say it again 50 years from now and still it´l be nonsesnse as any sentence ranking performers of any kind. Thank GOD we have plenty of them in an endless variety. Your favourite one? totally acceptable..."The best whatever. Period"?...nonsense.
This is my favourite song of all time, I am having it played at my funeral. Steve Marriott was an amazing talent, the energy and genius of the man was never really recognised and to lose him in a fire was unforgivable! God Bless Steve!
He set his own bed on fire - fell asleep drugged, drunk and with a cigarette - he only has himself to blame. And I have read biographies about him- he wasn't a very nice person - he was awful to Ronnie Lane who had MS - accused him of being drunk! Recollections vary regarding Marriot.
Him and the other small faces are not truly recognised for the talent they were Steve Marriott is one the greatest British R&B Soul singers we have ever had. A white man with a black man's soul voice.
An Absolute Force of Nature: Marriott Had EVERYTHING Great Voice, Great Guitarist (And He Was) , Great Presence, and Last but not Least GREAT TIMING, He just had IT whatever IT was, a Massive Loss his Death was, They Just Don’t Make Them Like This Anymore. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻🙏❤️🌞👑
Steve Marriott was a damn great musician and singer I think he was definitely one of the greatest man it was in his soul ,he never missed a beat ,30 days in the hole, honky tonk woman, Alabama, all or nothing, man there's so many I can't list them all he was awesome.
Great song, great singer in Stevie Marriot one of the very best vocalist's so sadly missed now thank's for everything the legend STEVIE MARRIOT ROCK ON STEVIE.
I was lucky to see him in Rehoboth DE. We can came back down for second day soundcheck and Marriott bought me a beer and played pinball with me. We had good weed and got invited onto the bus after that show. Spent some time with Goldie talking about the Vietnam war. How lucky to have caught time with Marriott just before his passing.
Blimey.......that made me shiver.........agree with all the comments.....I never knew any of his later stuff was recorded I saw him and the other players in this band at the Irish Centre in Digbeth Birmingham and he was wearing a bib and brace trousers then .....he died a few weeks later what a loss to Rock RIP Stevie you will never be forgotten......and thanks for this amazing video
Saw him with Packet of Three in a small venue, brilliant gig didn't realise what a great guitarist he was and superb vocals. Had a quick chat with him after, lovely down to earth guy.
I met him several times in the 60`s when his band The Frantics played in our local dance hall,a truly lovely bloke no side just another young man having the time of his life.Wish he was still with us.
I used to see him at the Torrington in North Finchley regularly. Wonderful show Fridays and Sundays. Now a coffee shop. The Moss Hall Tavern and the Standard in Walthamstow went for a Burton too.
So wish this Mega person was still with us as he would make today's so called music look like the pure noise that it is! Am so very happy that I grew up with this unssuepassable music!!
Absolutely terrific, thanks for sharing. I was Steve Marriott and his Packet of three band (I think he announced that they were The Official Receivers from then on) at a pub in Finchley back in about 1984 or 85. They were amazing. I remember getting the last tube back to Tooting Broadway right across London with a bursting bladder and staggering bent double into a shop doorway to relieve myself once we'd got back to Tooting. He's sadly missed, both a great voice and a great guitarist
Steve is our superstar reserved for those that heard a natural born talent, any guitar he picked sounded unique, his singing and writing all things that excelled at. He is a National treasure. He was always working and collaborating on something . He played the Harp too!
His voice never failed him. He had an exceptional gift with his vocal abilities that have never been adequately acknowledged. His musical genius is a sad aspect of the blues and rock that has been overlooked or tragically never placed amongst the greats of Rock and Roll, not to mention the Blues.
When I watch the live performance of this song in 1966 it seems so ahead of its time. So much power and soul, it’s definitely not a pop song but it still reached the no.1 slot effortlessly.
Oh my God...how sad. 😢 Mr Marriott, live on, if only for the generations that never saw, and maybe never will, know what you did to change attitudes of small minds to make the world a more tolerant and accepting place for new generations. Maybe you didn't even know. I can't talk for anyone else, but people like you made a huge difference to the difficult childhood my sister and I had. We became brave enough to leave our home in secret one night, hitch-hike across australia as far away as we could get and take our chances on the streets. I know that sounds dramatic to people reading this. But it wasn't then. We did do it a bit tough. Anyway, many years ago now and much water under the bridge since then. Thank you. RIP ❤
OMG, was honoured to see Pie and the Small Faces many times, the Packet of Three only once - what a vocalist ! thank you for posting - as my tee shirt says 'I maybe old but i got to see all the great bands' ........... thank you Stevie !
I know. Just another reason I HATE tobacco, and especially cigarettes. I think his abilities on the guitar were still blossoming. What might he have obtained? Tobacco robbed us of Steve. (By the way, I used to smoke, but I quit over 40 years ago.)
Tin Soldier with PP on backing vocals is amazing - you'll find a nice video of this on UA-cam - I always thought her voice should have been louder though
I was thinking of something appropriate to write when I scrolled to your words. Perfect. I can only add - if only he knew how much he was loved, adored and appreciated.
One of my heros growing up he was so special great voice great front man of the band rest in peace Steve marriot his music lives on in our minds and hearts for ever
You old buggers always going on about how much better the music was back then. Of course, you're right. I wonder if I'll be the same at your age? (I'm 66) 😉✌️👍
It’s just a crime that Steve wasn’t a mega superstar worldwide. One of the best singers ever to come out of this country❤️❤️
This country? He's British
請問
Stevie is a legend
Rubbish!
He is not even close
I said it 50 years ago and I will say it today.
Steve was the best vocalist rock ever had. Period
agreed…100%
A voice like no other.
And you wiil say it again 50 years from now and still it´l be nonsesnse as any sentence ranking performers of any kind. Thank GOD we have plenty of them in an endless variety. Your favourite one? totally acceptable..."The best whatever. Period"?...nonsense.
@@felipelotas5609 Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I will stand by mine
Terry Reid was just as talented - actually more so.
This version of the song is superb and the late Steve's voice at this point in his life was outstanding.
RIP and long live Steve Marriott (January 30, 1947 - April 20, 1991), aged 44
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Raw emotion, Steve Marriot....his voice reaches your heart
No words can say what a legend Steve was a blues singer and guitar star .
RIP Stevie - You were the best and your music will live on forever...
True...
the glorious 60's and 70's will NEVER be beaten for every genre of music.those of us who lived it knew it was a special era. Steve Mariott legend.
We were very, very lucky to be around then.
My brother once said "Steve Marriott should've been a superstar."
Damn right. Probably the greatest vocalist of his era.
WHO SAYS HE WASANT KEPT THE FLAME
@@mullcol Sorry?
He is, listening and watching such as this says so. Sad loss.
Its not like the Small Faces were obscure, they had number one hits in the UK and a run of big hits throughout the mid to late 60s
@@robertexley5193 Yes, I know, but I'm talking of the stratospheric stardom of Zeppelin etc.
What a great version of All or nothing .......
I wish Steve Marriot would still be amongst us ...
Best front man ever to come out of the 60's, amazing voice, always pitch perfect..
Totally on a different level,,,,,,,,,,,,,he was a class act.
totally spot on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,no one comes close to him in his day
True
Got that right. We miss you Steve.
great but best? no way
Pure brilliance. No one these days comes close. RIP Stevie
May be Paul Weller can?
Weller?.. Do me a favour
..what about 'Stormsy' ...lol ...just joking ...of course Britain is finished !!!!!!!! . . . . . .
He's a hard act to follow
This is my favourite song of all time, I am having it played at my funeral. Steve Marriott was an amazing talent, the energy and genius of the man was never really recognised and to lose him in a fire was unforgivable! God Bless Steve!
Me too on the Funeral 😮
Yes, God bless his exceptional spirit ⭐️🌈🎶🎸🕊
Smoking in bed.
He set his own bed on fire - fell asleep drugged, drunk and with a cigarette - he only has himself to blame. And I have read biographies about him- he wasn't a very nice person - he was awful to Ronnie Lane who had MS - accused him of being drunk! Recollections vary regarding Marriot.
Him and the other small faces are not truly recognised for the talent they were
Steve Marriott is one the greatest British R&B Soul singers we have ever had. A white man with a black man's soul voice.
....and he's in the rock and roll hall of fame!
Very well said. I fully agree!!!!
You clearly don’t remember Humble Pie, one of the worlds biggest bands back in the 70s?
I am talking in the general public not amongst his peers. They have never been recognised in the way their talent truly deserved.
Absolutely!! Besides, I love Kenney Jones' drumming.
Agree that Steve Marriott was one of the best. I still put all my Small Faces CDs on player and listen all day!
An Absolute Force of Nature: Marriott Had EVERYTHING Great Voice, Great Guitarist (And He Was) , Great Presence, and Last but not Least GREAT TIMING, He just had IT whatever IT was, a Massive Loss his Death was, They Just Don’t Make Them Like This Anymore. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻🙏❤️🌞👑
JUst Curious, Why so Many Capitals?
Because that’s the Cockney London English way of doing things my Dear..😘😉 . Know what I mean 😜
STEVE HAD IT ALL
STEVE COULD DO IT ALL EASELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THEN WE KNOWN IT ALL HISTORY.
Played this song at my mates funeral 1981, he was sixteen,
Absolute banger !!!
Steve Marriott was a damn great musician and singer I think he was definitely one of the greatest man it was in his soul ,he never missed a beat ,30 days in the hole, honky tonk woman, Alabama, all or nothing, man there's so many I can't list them all he was awesome.
I always fill uplifted when I hear this great man singing.r.i.p Steve.
Best Frontman EVER!!!! Wish I could have seen him perform live. There will never be another like him. So sad he’s gone❣️
So very fucking influential on so many who followed. R.I.P. Steven Peter Marriott; absolutely one of a kind,once in a lifetime!
Yeah , and nonetheless, me ! Love this guy !
The song itself is so powerful, but when you add that fantastic band with Steve;s powerful voice, it grows even bigger... what a sound... what a song.
So true and well said , peace
Packet of three. Live! I have the cd recording. It is all great.
Steve had a one of a kind voice and an infectious smile, he was one of the memorable greats.
Steve was way more talented than given credit for. The ultimate vocalist and a great guitar player.
Yes absolutely true
Amen with jedus now
Jedus
With our lord forever
Well said!
We love you Steve Marriott , wherever you may meet a sunbeam on your way throughout this universe . Love from Germany.
Great song, great singer in Stevie Marriot one of the very best vocalist's so sadly missed now thank's for everything the legend STEVIE MARRIOT ROCK ON STEVIE.
Utterly spine-tingling. The energy in that voice.
Probably the most down to earth legend ....and hugely talented...unique with super star quality vocal ...but normal guy...fantastic bloke
Lovely words Shane.
Absolutely right Shane, well said. 👍✌️
Steve Marriott- King of the Mods. Legend.
Used to live in Colliers Wood in 91. Unfortunately, I missed seeing him in putney 😢
What a great musician he was. Has left us much too early...
I was lucky to see him in Rehoboth DE. We can came back down for second day soundcheck and Marriott bought me a beer and played pinball with me.
We had good weed and got invited onto the bus after that show. Spent some time with Goldie talking about the Vietnam war.
How lucky to have caught time with Marriott just before his passing.
Blues and soul in one.All time great singers so much passion.Thanks Stevie.

Was lucky to see a gig from this tour at The Cotton Club Newport way back in1985. Brilliant memories. 😎 Thank you for the brill upload.
Looked the part guitar playing so good and what a voice what a voice I just couldn't take eyes of him and I miss him
Saw him with Packet of Three in a small venue, brilliant gig didn't realise what a great guitarist he was and superb vocals. Had a quick chat with him after, lovely down to earth guy.
I saw SF at a gig when I was 16. So electrifying live.
I met him several times in the 60`s when his band The Frantics played in our local dance hall,a truly lovely bloke no side just another young man having the time of his life.Wish he was still with us.
I envy that you met my all or nothing post.
Alan ward of the honeycombs?
@@Selvikus Sadly no,just another Alan Ward
Steve Marriott sang with such intense feeling. Killer guitar player as well. He was the man.
I used to see him at the Torrington in North Finchley regularly. Wonderful show Fridays and Sundays. Now a coffee shop. The Moss Hall Tavern and the Standard in Walthamstow went for a Burton too.

Steve Mariott and his Small Faces that was no less than absolutely wonderful. Rock at its very best. Only few highlights followed (Queen). .
Loved you Steve, beautiful soul, talented writer and performer, gone too soon. Always your fan.....
Best Rock Voice bar none! And had the privilege of working for him in the mid 80’s. Lovely man with that voice or nothing!
Filmed at "The Camden Palace" London 1985. On bass-Jim Leverton, on drums-Jerry Shirly.
Oh man, that´s goosebumps. Don´t get them with the Stones! Big Love to Steve!
Finest version of this timeless sons I've heard!!! Steve is a true pro!!!!
All or nuffink - you gotta love this guy !!!
One of my fav songs of all time , I turn it up full blast and takes me to a different place !.
This man put his all into every song he played......
Best rock singer ever! I love is voice and being from Tennessee, I love the overhauls he is wearing!❤❤❤🙏
WHAT ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOUR sTEVE WINWOOD? WHAT A PAIR.........
Can't thank Steve enough for his talent, feeling and pure Musicianship! Cannot be beaten!, this is with me always!

Seen them live in 65 and Steve still stands tall and proud as ever thanks for everything 😮😮 xx.
I saw him live in West Germany in August of 1977, he was awesome!
Just great to hear him once and once again!!!
Saw Humble Pie 3 times in St. Louis, Keil Auditorium, one of the best of the best raw energy rock bands. Nothing really like live, pure driving rock.
One of the very best, what a voice & what a tune ❤
He is a legend when it comes to singing.Such a sad ending he had R.I.P
Saw Steve and Humble Pie in the late 70s...so thankful...he was a genius...consummate musician and artist...
I would describe him more as a PERFORMER because he went to Italia Conti and learnt to PERFORM. Knew all the tricks.
R.I.P Thank You for your voice and talent
Steve was so unbelievably good. What a voice and feeling....!
The most soulful voice of the Brit 60s ! RIP Steve !
Another legend who was taken well before his time. Such a talented man who could have gone on to even greater things.
Steve is our superstar reserved for those that heard a natural born talent, any guitar he picked sounded unique, his singing and writing all things that excelled at. He is a National treasure. He was always working and collaborating on something . He played the Harp too!
Went to see them in 1966 . still love them.💞
Underrated and unforgotten. Top Five Singer of all Time.
His voice never failed him. He had an exceptional gift with his vocal abilities that have never been adequately acknowledged. His musical genius is a sad aspect of the blues and rock that has been overlooked or tragically never placed amongst the greats of Rock and Roll, not to mention the Blues.

Just some good old time rock from years past. Heard this at 12 years old. Ya just had to be there. One of the best.

i lost count of the times i saw stevie play...always awesome
I only saw him twice. Once, in April of '71 (Humble Pie / with Frampton), and again a couple of years later (Humble Pie / with Clem).
The best ever….period. Makes me proud to be from East London.
WOW! Just WOW!
Such a Great Artist, eyes half open love it
Got to be the best vocalist ever poured his heart and soul into his singing loved his band. RIP Steve
A genuine live performance from one of the Greats!!!
What a voice Steve had. Taken from us too soon. RIP Steve
All or Nothing is the title of the book that just came out about Steve. I've read the beginning and he was a complex person. So very talented

One of the greatest rock voices along with Paul Rodgers,Plant and Mercury big loss and one of the best songs of the 60s.
