"WHO IS THIS DUDE!!??" Man, Stevie would've been so proud of your reaction. Possibly the greatest male vocalist, of all time. Tragic loss, for the world. Rest in peace, Steve Marriot.
As ol' whispering bob mentions at the very end of that video, there were some fine british rock vocalists around at that time - Paul Rogers, Robert Plant etc.!
I was at that concert (yep I’m frickin old) ROB SQUAD YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO “I Don’t Need No Doctor “ The record not a video…Live at the Fillmore wall to wall bangers! Steve Marriott pre dates Cocker and Black Crowes Chris Robinson, they and Robert Plant cite Steve Marriott (R.I.P.) as a major influence
Before he founded Humble Pie, Steve Marriott was the lead singer of The Small Faces. You'll enjoy "Itchycoo Park", "Tin Soldier", "Every Little Bit Hurts" & "Autumn Stone".
Small Faces were the real mod band of the 60s; the Who were pushed into mod by their managers. Marriott was an obvious influence on Paul Weller from The Jam, too.
@@BGNOLA They were also a huge influence on Led Zeppelin. I heard that Robert Plant and Jimmy Page used to follow them around before they made it big themselves. If you dont believe me please listen to Come On Children..
Steve Marriot(the singer) was originally with a band called "The Small Faces" and then left to join Humble Pie. The other guitar player on this is Peter Frampton. Humble Pie was a VERY talented rock group. Check out 30 Days in the Hole.
Humble Pie are an English hard rock band formed by Steve Marriott in Moreton, Essex, in 1969. They are known as one of the first supergroups of the late 1960s and found success on both sides of the Atlantic in the early 1970s with such songs as "Black Coffee", "30 Days in the Hole", "I Don't Need No Doctor" and "Natural Born Bugie". The original band line-up featured lead vocalist and guitarist Steve Marriott from Small Faces, vocalist and guitarist Peter Frampton from the Herd, former Spooky Tooth bassist Greg Ridley and a 17-year-old drummer, Jerry Shirley, from the Apostolic Intervention.
Steve said the name Humble Pie was in response to music critics who tagged them a "Super Group". They wanted it known that they didn't consider themselves a "Super Group".
The Artful Dodger. Steve Marriott was one of the all time great rock singers. His Small Faces stuff was incredible. When he left they needed Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood to replace him.
He was in fact The Artful Dodger in the 50's movie/musical Oliver! Consider Yourself At Home, funny if you ever watched it, and then heard Steve's talking voice later in life, your can still see and hear him playing the part.
@@donaldriddle230 No. He was in the musical in the West End and then sang on the soundtrack of the musical. It premiered in 1960. By the time the movie of it was made, it was 1968. Jack Wild played the Artful Dodger in the movie.
The guy ar the end was "Whispering" Bob Harris a British DJ who hosted a TV show called "The Old Grey Whistle Test". It was the one show on British TV that took music at all seriously.
Hey Ned from Spain here. Happy New Year guys ! Steve Marriott was a legendary singer, an underrated guitarist and songwriter. Small in stature but a powder keg performer able to dial it down to sing sweet ballads and blues as well. Humble Pie will always be a favorite of ours. One thing though..Marriott gave birth to Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson who used Humble Pie as a template for The Black Crowes in their sound and especially the clothes. Marriott was also one well dressed Englishman from the East End of London don'tcha know.... Peace and good health
The EAST end? I’m not English, but I think I hear you saying that he didn’t come from much, but made it big? Or was the East end something different 50 years ago from what I think it is now?
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Steve Marriott came from a working class background growing up in the East End of London which was a tough neighborhood but is now pretty posh as is most of London these days. He started to get famous as the original Artful Dodger in the play Oliver in 1960 and he was in 2 teen pop movies with David Hemmings in the early 60's. Then started the Small Faces who were a hit from the get go and then on to Humble Pie, etc. A charmed but also tragic life.
The person at the end of that performance was Whispering Bob Harris, whose show Hubble Pie and the Blackberries were singing on, which was, The Old Grey Whistle Test. Steve Marriot, the lead singer was the lead singer for The Small Faces. One of my all time favourites of the 1960's.
Peter Frampton was a member of Humble Pie before he achieved worldwide fame as a solo artist in '76. Also Steve Marriott (the guy singing) was formerly of the Small Faces(check out Itchykoo Park or Tin Soldier). When Marriott left the band to form Humble Pie, the rest of the Small Face joined forces with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood and became The Faces
They became known as a band that was a great live act that never was successfully reproduced on records. In fact, a live album was one of their most popular releases. There are a lot of good clips of them live here on UA-cam. The Black Crowes surely must have been fans, of this band and other British bands like the Faces.
Humble Pie's "Stoned Colded Fever" is a must. My opinion, "Rock On," is their best all-around LP. If you haven't listened to it, I would recommend it. Thanks for posting today. I'm always ready for some pie 🥧!
The guy at the end was Bob Harris. It was a live performance for “the Old Grey Whistle Test”, the show he was presenting. He’s known as “Whispering” Bon Harris because he’s so laid back when talking.
It's been a while since I've seen a few interviews from Bob Harris (Queen, Elton John,..). I didn't remember his last name. I only remembered ‘Bob’ because he reminds me of Bob Ross when I hear his voice.
Oh, The Small Faces who Steve Marriott fronted/was lead singer for in the 60s. They are one of my favorites. Marriott a very underrated vocalist. Lazy Sunday Afternoon, Toy Soldier, All or Nothing, My Mind's Eye, Afterglow, Here comes the Nice and yes Itchycoo Park. For the future? English band.
In their day the Small Faces were rated well above the Rolling Stones and the Who. They were almost as popular as the Beatles. Like the Who they were a mod influenced band. When Steve Marriot left to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton tdeliberately
Hi My reply below didn't come out when I posted it. Here is a clip of the Faces after Marriot left and they bought in Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart. ua-cam.com/video/hQqNUwNNkTo/v-deo.html The mandolin player was Ray Jacksonfrom the band Lindisfarne. The drummer Kenny Jones went on to replace Keith Moon in the Who.
The backup singers were named The Blackberries, not a regular part of the band.....they also preformed with both Ray Charles, as the Raelettes and with Ike and Tina Turner as the Ikettes....
Glad you got around to featuring this performance. Humble Pie was a great band and Marriott was considered a singer's singer, admired and emulated by many of his peers. Fun fact: Steve played the 'Artful Dodger', playing the role on the London stage production of 'Oliver'. Later he formed the stellar group Small Faces with Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenny Jones. When Marriott left, it took Rod Stewart and Ronnie Lane to replace him. They were a seminal British invasion band and the idols of the British Mods. Humble Pie were a wonder to experience live as this clip demonstrates. Marriott went into seclusion for a number of years until quietly making a low key comeback in the '80's. He died tragically in an accidental fire at his home in 1991, a serious loss for rock music.

To date, I haven’t heard anyone CLOSE to Steve’s vocals, guitar playing, harmonica bandit self. Love love love this. A favorite of mine is I WONDER. Killa!
The guy at the end? 'Whispering' Bob Harris. This show was a live music show called The Old Grey Whistle Test and pretty much featured all the iconic singers and bands in the 70's and 80's - Bowie, Marley, Queen, Zeppelin, Patti Smith, John Lennon, Sex Pistols, Madness, Smiths and 100's more! Loads of clips on UA-cam of these performances. Whispering Bob is still presenting music on the radio, been going 52 years now on tv and radio!
Humble Pie was a British rock band founded by Small Faces' vocalist Steve Marriot in 1969. Original guitarist was Peter Frampton, who played on the first five album before leaving in 1971. Black Coffee is on Humble Pie's 1973 album, Eat It. The female back-up singers were known as The Blackberries, and toured with the band. Marriot was already a popular rock star from his days as singer for Small Faces (1965-1969), and possibly influenced both Joe Cocker and Chris Robinson of Black Crowes. Humble Pie's song 30 Days In The Hole, from their 1972 album, Smokin", is a long-time classic song on St. Louis, Missouri's rock music icon KSHE 94.7 FM as part of their KSHE Klassics song list that goes back to the station's beginning in 1967.
The 3 backup singers - Venetta Fields, Sherlie Matthews and Clydie King aka The Blackberries!! Venetta & Clydie performed as Barbara Streisand's backing vocalists "The Oreos" in the movie "A Star is Born" - Kristofferson's then-wife Rita Coolidge also used them as her backup on all her albums. They were in high demand as backing vocalists. Fields was previously an Ikette in The Ike & Tina Turner Revue. King was previously a Raelette, backing Ray Charles. Matthews was a singer-songwriter at Mirwood Records and Motown Records. They joined forces and created the Blackberries.
Bill Graham a famous concert promoter loved these guys, because they left it all on the stage. Their Rockin' the Filmore album is one of the best live albums ever made.
A great band can be judged by the acts that opened for them. I was privileged, in my first concert at age 14, to see the unknown band Earth, Wind & Fire open for Humble Pie. Later, on the Smokin’ tour (30 Days in the Hole, Black Coffee), the glitter band LaBelle, with Patti LaBelle on lead vocals, open for them. That combination of musical talent was something to behold. I am I my ‘’mid-to-late’ 60’s, and I am grateful to this day, to have witnessed this.
The guy at the end is 'Whispering' Bob Harris who presented The Old Grey Whistle Test an alternative music programme of the 1970's on BBC 2. He still presents Bob Harris Country on BBC radio 2.
There is such joy in Steve's face! He is loving his voice, the Blackberries' voices, the lyrics, just life! That's what made him so great and Humble Pie so great--they felt it.
That clip was from a BBC2 rockshow called The Old Grey Whistle Test. It's where all the people that were serious about music got their weekly dose. That particular presenter, who happened to be the most long running, was Bob Harris, presenter and music journo.
Oh, that clip is from a British music show called The Old Gray Whistle Test. They had Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Marley, The Police, your boy Elton. That guy at the end is one of the hosts.
Peter Frampton was a founding member who was replaced by Clem Clemson. The women are The Blackberries. Venetta Fields is the only one still alive. She's very friendly and will answer any questions. Clydie King was the one on the far right. She and Steve had a fling. She also was the inspiration for Mick Jagger's Brown Sugar. The First Lady of Immediate Records was P.P. Arnold. She used to sing with Ike and Tina Turner in the States. She also had a fling with Steve. Look up If You Think You're Groovy or Tin Soldier. She's also still alive and very friendly. After Steve Marriott left The Small Faces and formed Humble Pie with Peter Frampton, Jerry Shirley ( also a great guy ) and Greg Ridley from Spooky Tooth the rest of The Small Faces picked up Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart, dropped the " small" and became The Faces.
"The first time, I was kind of alarmed, then I then the second time, I was appreciative"-- love it! 😄 Great band, and earlier in its incarnation (before Black Coffee,) Peter Frampton had been a member of Humble Pie!
Man, those Blackberries are sweet! 'Eat it' was a fantastic album, I remember exactly where and when I bought it in '73. Don't know if there's a video but 'is it for love?' is another great track
'Whispering' Bob Harris is the guy at the end, so this must have been a performance from the archive of the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test. Now that was a brilliant programme!
Amber, The guy at the end was 'Whispering' Bob Harris a very knowledgeable D.J who in the clip was presenting a T.V. music show called The Old Grey Whistle Test' According to presenter Bob Harris, the programme derived its name from a Tin Pan Alley phrase from years before. When they got the first pressing of a record they would play it to people they called the old greys - doormen in grey suits. Any song the doormen could remember and whistle, having heard it just once or twice, had passed the old grey whistle test!!
Interesting that you mentioned Chris Robinson (lead singer of the Black Crowes) as Chris modeled his sound and stage presence heavily on Steve Marriott (Small Faces and Humble Pie) and Faces-era Rod Stewart (Faces being a reformed version of Small Faces after Steve Marriott). So, you were spot on in picking that up!
This is SO good. WOW. Thank you for introducing me to it. If I saw this in my list from any other reactor, I would have scrolled by. But I don't tend to skip any of your videos, because you are my favorite of all time. WOW this was g ood!!!!!
I hope you don;t do that anymore. A number of reactors have covered "Black Coffee" it is ALWAYS fun to see their reaction when Steve sings that first note. Also a number have reacted to "30 Days in the Hole" or "I Don't need No Dr". Wilburn reaction has done perhaps 10 reactions to HP, Small Faces and solo Steve Marriot. Check them out too. I wish more reactors would try some of the lesser known Humble Pie and try Small Faces - a truly brilliant 60's group.
@@rodb9275 Don't skip by any reactions to Humble Pie, Small Faces, or Steve Marriott!! Here is a taste of one of my favorites from the Pie: ua-cam.com/video/KE1y1AUoQrs/v-deo.html I Wonder Humble Pie 👍
One of the greatest Rock/Blues singers, and guitar players of all time. That is not an exaggeration. His voice was so soulful. Steve Marriott was born and raised in England. He started out with the Band "The Small Faces." In 1967 Steve and the Small Faces had a huge hit song called Itchy Koo Park, a real place in London where people met and used drugs. The song was about his own experience of cutting class, and going to "Itchy Koo Park, to get High, as he sings in the song. One of the most talented artists ever. Sadly, Steve died a few years ago at age of74 I think. Thanks
Nice comeback today! Great music selections and you even gave me a new artist to dig into after hearing Polk Salad Annie for the first time. Oh, and Peter Frampton was also in Humble Pie.
I had the very good fortune to see Humble Pie during the summer of '72 and again in May of '73 .... each show still resonates in my soul.... the backup singers are The Blackberries....
The guy at the end is 'whispering' Bob Harris, who hosted a late night music show called 'The old grey whistle test' Great reaction guys, i love the chemistry between steve Marriot and Clydie king too.
The guy at the end is Whispering Bob Harris, presenter of the British programme The Old Grey Whistle Test, a brilliant source for live performances from the 70s & 80s.
Tin Soldier , Small Faces, is a song with Steve singing ,that i think you will like a lot. And for an acoustic sound, Humble Pie - For Your Love (1970). A great acoustic version of The Yardbirds song, with Peter Frampton on acoustic guitar, backing Steve on vocals.
The dude at the end is 'Whispering' Bob Harris. He pesented a music show in the 70's called 'The Old Grey Whistle Test', which is where this video comes from. Anyone who was anyone was on that show.
Whoop! I haven't heard this song since the 70s! What a great reaction. Humble Pie was my first concert when I was 15 or 16... Thanks for picking this song!
The guy at the end is whispering Bob Harris.. an encyclopaedia of musical knowledge… he hosted the old grey whistle test on UK tv and has hosted several other radio shows etc.. he introduced, along with John Peel a lot of new up and coming artists along with more established ones… RIP Steve Marriott
The singer is Steve Marriott, from the band Small Faces (MANY hit records); the ladies are the Blackberries from America- they were not regulars with the band, but they did say they loved working with Marriott for this tune. Peace from Canada- be safe and happy in the new year. (corrected thanks to Michael Foster- merçi.)
@@michaelfoster5577 Thank you for that. Guess my years in the artillery hit my hearing harder than I thought. Credit will be given in the corrected item above. Merçi.
The bald guy at the end was (whispering) Bob Harris. He presented the best music programme of all time in the 70's called "the old grey whistle test" Humble pie lead singer was Steve Marriot, he also fronted a superb band called "the small faces". checkout "Lazy Sunday", "Son of a baker" and "Afterglow (of your love) by them.
Steve Marriott the singer and guitar player for Humble Pie, was Jimmy Page's first choice for a singer for Led Zeppelin, until Marriott's manager asked Page how he'd get by playing his guitar with two broken thumbs. So consequently Page found Robert Plant instead...
"WHO IS THIS DUDE!!??"
Man, Stevie would've been so proud of your reaction.
Possibly the greatest male vocalist, of all time.
Tragic loss, for the world. Rest in peace, Steve Marriot.
As ol' whispering bob mentions at the very end of that video, there were some fine british rock vocalists around at that time - Paul Rogers, Robert Plant etc.!
"30 Days in the Hole" and "I don't need no doctor" are absolute MUSTS by these guys.
The entirety of Smokin with Road Runner Blues and I Wonder, as well as 30DITH. Solid blues rock.

I grew up with Humble Pie, parents were big fans, Greg Ridley is one of the reasons I fell in love with bass as a youth
Steve Marriott is amazing. Next I suggest. “I don’t need no doctor” live performance
You guys have to do I believe to my soul by these. Amazing band!
The 3 backup singers - Venetta Fields, Sherlie Matthews and Clydie King aka The Blackberries!! Venetta & Clydie performed as Barbara Streisand's backing vocalists "The Oreos" in the movie "A Star is Born" - Kristofferson's then-wife Rita Coolidge also used them as her backup on all her albums. They were in high demand as backing vocalists. Fields was previously an Ikette in The Ike & Tina Turner Revue. King was previously a Raelette, backing Ray Charles. Matthews was a singer-songwriter at Mirwood Records and Motown Records. They joined forces and created the Blackberries.
Bill Graham a famous concert promoter loved these guys, because they left it all on the stage. Their Rockin' the Filmore album is one of the best live albums ever made.
Bill Graham was a master rock promoter; dare I say visionary!
A great band can be judged by the acts that opened for them.
I was privileged, in my first concert at age 14, to see the unknown band Earth, Wind & Fire open for Humble Pie.
Later, on the Smokin’ tour (30 Days in the Hole, Black Coffee), the glitter band LaBelle, with Patti LaBelle on lead vocals, open for them.
That combination of musical talent was something to behold.
I am I my ‘’mid-to-late’ 60’s, and I am grateful to this day, to have witnessed this.
The guy at the end is 'Whispering' Bob Harris who presented The Old Grey Whistle Test an alternative music programme of the 1970's on BBC 2. He still presents Bob Harris Country on BBC radio 2.
There is such joy in Steve's face! He is loving his voice, the Blackberries' voices, the lyrics, just life! That's what made him so great and Humble Pie so great--they felt it.
Another great one from Humble pie is I don't need no doctor
That clip was from a BBC2 rockshow called The Old Grey Whistle Test. It's where all the people that were serious about music got their weekly dose. That particular presenter, who happened to be the most long running, was Bob Harris, presenter and music journo.
FINALLY !!
I can`t believe some people are saying it`s John Peel at the end. Come on guys, it`s the legend that is Whispering Bob Harris!!!
Cool group. I've never heard them before. Thank you.
Boom!
I've never heard of him/them. I love it. I'd definitely like to hear more.
Been hoping for this one. Sweet. You're reaction to his voice was how I imagined it would be. lol The Faces should be on your list.
Oh, that clip is from a British music show called The Old Gray Whistle Test. They had Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Marley, The Police, your boy Elton. That guy at the end is one of the hosts.
Peter Frampton was a founding member who was replaced by Clem Clemson. The women are The Blackberries. Venetta Fields is the only one still alive. She's very friendly and will answer any questions. Clydie King was the one on the far right. She and Steve had a fling. She also was the inspiration for Mick Jagger's Brown Sugar. The First Lady of Immediate Records was P.P. Arnold. She used to sing with Ike and Tina Turner in the States. She also had a fling with Steve. Look up If You Think You're Groovy or Tin Soldier. She's also still alive and very friendly. After Steve Marriott left The Small Faces and formed Humble Pie with Peter Frampton, Jerry Shirley ( also a great guy ) and Greg Ridley from Spooky Tooth the rest of The Small Faces picked up Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart, dropped the " small" and became The Faces.
Great choice! Love Humble Pie
"The first time, I was kind of alarmed, then I then the second time, I was appreciative"-- love it! 😄 Great band, and earlier in its incarnation (before Black Coffee,) Peter Frampton had been a member of Humble Pie!
You found Steve Marriott...Its about time..that mans a legend.. I'm giving you ten thumbs up.
Man, those Blackberries are sweet! 'Eat it' was a fantastic album, I remember exactly where and when I bought it in '73. Don't know if there's a video but 'is it for love?' is another great track
So much soul !!
Steve Marriot had soul. I saw him live in the late 80's , He was totally in tune with the fans. GREAT LIVE SHOW! Miss him a lot. Mark
'Whispering' Bob Harris is the guy at the end, so this must have been a performance from the archive of the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test. Now that was a brilliant programme!
Love it!
This was the 1 st time for me hearing this . AWESOME
Amber, The guy at the end was 'Whispering' Bob Harris a very knowledgeable D.J who in the clip was presenting a T.V. music show called The Old Grey Whistle Test' According to presenter Bob Harris, the programme derived its name from a Tin Pan Alley phrase from years before. When they got the first pressing of a record they would play it to people they called the old greys - doormen in grey suits. Any song the doormen could remember and whistle, having heard it just once or twice, had passed the old grey whistle test!!
30 Days in the Hole, Stone Cold Fever, I Don't Need no Doctor...... One of my favorite bands. RIP Steve Marriott
So glad you did this one! Been hoping you would.
Interesting that you mentioned Chris Robinson (lead singer of the Black Crowes) as Chris modeled his sound and stage presence heavily on Steve Marriott (Small Faces and Humble Pie) and Faces-era Rod Stewart (Faces being a reformed version of Small Faces after Steve Marriott). So, you were spot on in picking that up!
Check out more of his work with Humble Pie on "30 days in the hole", "Hot n Nasty", and the live version of "I don't need no doctor".
This is SO good. WOW. Thank you for introducing me to it. If I saw this in my list from any other reactor, I would have scrolled by. But I don't tend to skip any of your videos, because you are my favorite of all time. WOW this was g ood!!!!!
I hope you don;t do that anymore. A number of reactors have covered "Black Coffee" it is ALWAYS fun to see their reaction when Steve sings that first note. Also a number have reacted to "30 Days in the Hole" or "I Don't need No Dr". Wilburn reaction has done perhaps 10 reactions to HP, Small Faces and solo Steve Marriot. Check them out too. I wish more reactors would try some of the lesser known Humble Pie and try Small Faces - a truly brilliant 60's group.
@@cindyfalstrom7231 Don't do what anymore??????
@@rodb9275 Don't skip by any reactions to Humble Pie, Small Faces, or Steve Marriott!! Here is a taste of one of my favorites from the Pie: ua-cam.com/video/KE1y1AUoQrs/v-deo.html I Wonder Humble Pie 👍
One of the greatest Rock/Blues singers, and guitar players of all time. That is not an exaggeration. His voice was so soulful. Steve Marriott was born and raised in England. He started out with the Band "The Small Faces." In 1967 Steve and the Small Faces had a huge hit song called Itchy Koo Park, a real place in London where people met and used drugs. The song was about his own experience of cutting class, and going to "Itchy Koo Park, to get High, as he sings in the song. One of the most talented artists ever. Sadly, Steve died a few years ago at age of74 I think.
Thanks
Nice comeback today! Great music selections and you even gave me a new artist to dig into after hearing Polk Salad Annie for the first time. Oh, and Peter Frampton was also in Humble Pie.
This was a good one... a really good one.
I had the very good fortune to see Humble Pie during the summer of '72 and again in May of '73 .... each show still resonates in my soul.... the backup singers are The Blackberries....
Humble Pie Rock’n the Fillmore is a must listen.
The guy at the end is 'whispering' Bob Harris, who hosted a late night music show called 'The old grey whistle test' Great reaction guys, i love the chemistry between steve Marriot and Clydie king too.
The guy at the end is Whispering Bob Harris, presenter of the British programme The Old Grey Whistle Test, a brilliant source for live performances from the 70s & 80s.
He reminds me of the lead singer of the Black Crowes too
Oh my, Stevie Marriott, what a legend!
Rest in peace Stevie.
Tin Soldier , Small Faces, is a song with Steve singing ,that i think you will like a lot. And for an acoustic sound, Humble Pie - For Your Love (1970). A great acoustic version of The Yardbirds song, with Peter Frampton on acoustic guitar, backing Steve on vocals.
The dude at the end is 'Whispering' Bob Harris. He pesented a music show in the 70's called 'The Old Grey Whistle Test', which is where this video comes from. Anyone who was anyone was on that show.
Thank you so much for doing this song!
Whoop! I haven't heard this song since the 70s! What a great reaction. Humble Pie was my first concert when I was 15 or 16... Thanks for picking this song!
The way he's vibin' with the sisters absolutely makes this video special.
The guy at the end is whispering Bob Harris.. an encyclopaedia of musical knowledge… he hosted the old grey whistle test on UK tv and has hosted several other radio shows etc.. he introduced, along with John Peel a lot of new up and coming artists along with more established ones… RIP Steve Marriott
The singer is Steve Marriott, from the band Small Faces (MANY hit records); the ladies are the Blackberries from America- they were not regulars with the band, but they did say they loved working with Marriott for this tune. Peace from Canada- be safe and happy in the new year. (corrected thanks to Michael Foster- merçi.)
The Blackberries, not the Blackbirds!
@@michaelfoster5577 Thank you for that. Guess my years in the artillery hit my hearing harder than I thought. Credit will be given in the corrected item above. Merçi.
@@27thangel23 no worries you long range sniper. I was a siggie!!
AMBER! Look at you, girl. I wish I could transform my body like that. Good for you. :)
The bald guy at the end was (whispering) Bob Harris. He presented the best music programme of all time in the 70's called "the old grey whistle test"
Humble pie lead singer was Steve Marriot, he also fronted a superb band called "the small faces". checkout "Lazy Sunday", "Son of a baker" and "Afterglow (of your love) by them.
Steve Marriott the singer and guitar player for Humble Pie, was Jimmy Page's first choice for a singer for Led Zeppelin, until Marriott's manager asked Page how he'd get by playing his guitar with two broken thumbs. So consequently Page found Robert Plant instead...
Omg my very first concert was Humble Pie. Yes!!!
