PP Arnold and Steve Marriott, doesn't get any better than that. Seen Humble Pie perform twice in concert back in the 70's and the videos don't show the unbelievable power in Steve's voice. He could stand three feet behind the microphone and still blow you out of your seat. He was (as you said) a generational talent and I'm thankful that I was able to witness his greatness. It was a concert I will never forget.
P.P. Arnold and Steve Marriott had a short lived affair but remained close friends until his death. She remains close to his daughter who is also a gifted musician in her own right. The song Afterglow was written by Steve about P.P. Arnold.
LOL! You didn't have to say a word about the ''sista". Your facial expression said it all. And I agree 100%. She is drop dead gorgeous! (and I'm white, but for me beauty has no color) I enjoyed your reaction/review very much. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest rock songs/performances/groups in the history of popular music ... And Steve Marriott was one of the absolute greatest rock vocalists in the history of Rock n' Roll.
PP Arnold was Steve Marriott's girlfriend at the time, I think. She's from LA but came over here on tour with the Ikettes, quit and stayed in London. Her version of The First Cut is the Deepest has the Small Faces backing. Check out her own stuff. She's amazing! When Steve Marriott was a child actor, he sang the part of the Artful Dodger on stage and on Lionel Bart's album 'Oliver'.
PP Arnold was the backing singer on this yet she dominates the whole scene. . . .they clearly know a goddess when they see one. Some things don't change. . . .And thank you for realizing how special steve Marriot was!
Steve Marriott was awesome! Without Marriott we may not have had Robert Plant. Also, Stevie Winwood deserves a shout out when it comes to English soul singers. The British have produced some amazing bands!
When Steve came to play NJ in 1987, I got to meet him before and after the show. We drank an awful lot and he told road stories, one after the other. He was family-oriented as well. He kept asking everyone about their families and if everyone was okay. Spoke about his parents with a glow. He was very sweet. Also, very seasoned. He was a hardcore musician and party animal and it proudly showed. He said something I'll never forget; "Spookie, when I'm gone I hope fellas like you keep carrying the torch" Little did we both know, he'd be gone 4 years later. Rest in peace.
I think there are three all time best rock / blues voices of all time , the greatest being Stevie Marriott, early Rod Stewart and Paul rogers ! All contributed to the future of rock music , all lead the way , everyone else followed ! Greatest guitar riff !!! “ I don’t need no doctor “
Groovy is right! Black Coffee, Tin Soldier, 30 Days In The Hole......Discovering the diverse world of Small Faces and Humble Pie is like a magical music journey and it doesn't get better than P. P. Arnold along with Steve Marriott, and an absolutely incredible band line up here, including Kenny Jones on drums, playing alongside Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan, all brlliant, incredible musicians.
Steve Marriott said when they formed the Small Faces, they wanted to be Booker T & The MG's and he always kept up to date with their records. Take a listen to "Carnaby Street" from the album "Hip-Hug-Her" 👌
check out their psychedelic classic album - ogdens nut gone flake - english whimsy mixed with some rocking tunes - afterglow, song of a baker, rollin' over and a story told by professor stanley unwin in his own language
Thank you for SMALL FACES "Tin Soldier". Groovy is a good description as this song was popular in 1968! LOL- Don't worry about lusting after PP Arnold - she was and still is a beautiful woman. All the men love her (-: This was a great pop song Steve wrote to woo his future wife Jenny. Please check out some of the other styles (besides pop) that this very innovative band released.

Steve Marriott was truly gifted singer, songwriter and multi-instrumental (guitar, keyboards, harmonica, sitar, bass, drums, etc) Please listen to more...
this band did my favorite album of all time. modmarkt is right. afterglow is from an album i listened to as a child, and i had no idea where it was from . pure magic, like a secret only i knew of. my dad knew a guy that was going to do an animated feature of it. what can i say? steves voice is burned into my brain more than anyone. takes me back.
He was a fantastic talent (not necessarily easy to live with because that energy never seemed to run down) and he died tragically in a house fire aged 40; he was never meant to grow old! It is said that he was approached for the lead singer of Led Zeppelin but the shyster manager of the Small faces would not let him out of his contract.
I know how much you love learning about great guitarists. And I would also like to introduce you to just a few legends in bluegrass. "Bill Monroe & The Bluegrass Boys - Blue Moon Of Kentucky" Bill Monroe (in my humble opinion) is one of the Fathers of bluegrass. I say that because he wrote many very famous songs in Bluegrass that are played to this day. He also played the mandolin and the acoustic guitar. He was a huge influence on other famous artists like Ricky Skaggs "Ricky skaggs - Highway 40 Blues (Live in London-1985)" and "Young Ricky Skaggs" playing the mandolin." And I have to include "George Shuffler -Cross picking" he was one of the earliest guitarist's to develop crosspicking. This is a form of picking and rhythm playing unique to bluegrass music. He is even in the Bluegrass Hall Of Fame. And finally mostly because I'm a female (lol) and I'm a huge admirer of Molly Tuttle "Molly Tuttle,Sierra Hull,Sarah Jarosz - Salt Creek" she was the first woman to win the International Bluegrass Music Association's Guitar Player of The Year award - both in 2017 and 2018. She was also named the Americana Music Association's Instrumentalist of the year. I didn't mean to write a book... lol
Steve and PP were actually lovers at this point. Well, I'm not 100% sure it was then, but it's an established fact that they were a thing at one point, and i can't think of a more relevant time they would have hit it off.
Get Off of My Cloud Alexis Korner-Steve Marriott 1974. Alexis was the UK's godfather of the blues. He brought our famous black blues musicians from the 50s,60s to the UK to perform and helped form The Rolling Stones. Alexis Korner & Steve Marriott - Diamonds in the Rough (A Capella) 1975 (this one makes me smile hope it works for you too1)
Alexis Korner was a real treasure, known less for his own music than the blues/soul he promoted and the many future British rock stars (including Steve Marriott) that he mentored.
Also "Hot & Nasty" or "I Don't Need No Dr" or "Four Day Creep" from "Performance, Rockin the Fillmore" Live album (If you want to hear Frampton's awesome guitar work.
This song was so ahead of its time when you consider that they recorded back in December of 1967 imo The sound quality off his mike in this video was just terrible , fortunately there are better versions of this song. This song is definitely a overlooked gem of a classic that only ages like fine wine again imho.
I think it had a lot more to do with being zonked on valium and booze (a killer combo as i know all too well. I've even fallen asleep standing up in the past due to that combo, as witnessed shockingly by my then teenage daughter!, that is how fast you go from being wide awake to being full on out of it on that mixture) and probably a larger part of the blame goes to now banned furniture materials of the early 90s rather than just the smoking. Since they banned that foamed filled furniture horror show that went up like an e bike explosion and actually gave off cyanide there have been vastly less smoking/fire related deaths. I hate to admit it but the state of my sofa, that was new only 2 years ago would should you how many times I'd have died in a fire in 1991. Luckily I live alone otherwise I'd obviously be a lot more circumspect, but I've learned that you can put a newly lit cigarette down your mattress, sofa, on your carpet and all you're gonna wake up to these days is yet another annoying burn that looks like sh1t. Steve would be alive today, well, maybe not, bit he wouldn't have died that night if they had passed that legislation a lot sooner than they did. And of course I don't recommend smoking period to anyone, or drug use, street or pharmaceutical. It's all the same at the end of the day.
This vid, that you used, is a dubbed clip, of the Bouton Rouge clip. If you want to hear the real voices, or if you want to see PP Arnold, absolutely kill it… then you need to watch this: ua-cam.com/video/zF4HIWX_vxE/v-deo.html The second song, If You Think You’re Groovy, is all Miss Arnold.
Such a great song... sadly mimed in this 'recording' as cordless guitars not around then... but hey! Can i nominate Sha-la-la-la-lee as your next SF react?
They would have been better than the Who! Adding a better vocalist than Plant and an extra guitar would have been incredible. Marriott may not have been quite as good as Page but he's no slouch. Live they would have been unbelievable.
I , personally, don’t see or hear it, but I’ve heard, and read, others state that Page was looking for someone in a frontman/ singer, to try to be similar to what Jeff Beck got, with R Stewart. That it was a jealousy thing, and a one upmanship, from the big Yardbird split.
Steve was a bad ass
PP Arnold and Steve Marriott, doesn't get any better than that. Seen Humble Pie perform twice in concert back in the 70's and the videos don't show the unbelievable power in Steve's voice.

Love this tune. Steve Marriott had so much soul. Sounded killer singing with P.P. Arnold. Perfect blend of voices.
The woman is PP Arnold and she played Glastonbury this past weekend.
The best singer and Frontmann ever, Steve Marriott.
Marriot had a great Rock and Roll Voice. Power and Feeling. As you said, a Generational Talent.
P.P. Arnold and Steve Marriott had a short lived affair but remained close friends until his death. She remains close to his daughter who is also a gifted musician in her own right. The song Afterglow was written by Steve about P.P. Arnold.
That is the lovely and talented PP Arnold. Still sings today and still looks great. Amazing singer and a huge back catalogue of great songs.
She was only 16 too
That "ooof" at 3.03.....

The greatest white soul singer, without doubt !

Joe Cocker's on the line and wants to speak with you.
I'd gladly trade any six living rockers to still have Mr Steve Marriott with us.

My old man had a 45 of this. Hence the first album I bought was a Small Faces CD.
One of my favourite all time tracks, live tbe build up in tne intro and the pure energy in vocals, second to all or nothing in my opinion.
The little Cockney with the big voice .... with PP Arnold.... one of Ike's girls! Fucking boss!
The legendary lady is a Mrs Pat Cole Arnold.
She is on my facebook friends list,
Talked to her a couple of times via messenger unfortunately.
Fautless masterpiece 🥰
You might recognise 'Itchycoo Park' by the Small Faces, great track!
I'll take a look
Ah man, that's what I was gonna say.
