      I’m pretty sure he realized just how good he was, it’s just that he was unlucky overall and got screwed over a bit. If The Rolling Stones audition story is true, then he was actually TOO GOOD for everyone and got punished for it. Don’t know. Everyone who really knows anything about rock n roll knows Steve Marriott was the best singer of all time.

      @@NoOne-kr4jc I love Free and Paul Rodgers, they are my favorite rock band bar none. Like the Small Faces they were heavily influenced by US soul music and were all tiny 5 footers. Worth pointing out that Paul Rodgers was very partial to a punch up in the 60's and early 70's so he may have got into it with Marriott at some point.
      Scary criminal Don Arden probably poisoned the small faces chances forever, they never escaped the mob. Like Hendrix with Mike Jeffery, once they get their nozzle into you they keep sucking and scare everyone else off.

      Ken Harrington .......yes absolutely, (I wasn’t taking a thing away from either man, always loved both) but Marriott was in a class of his own, it’s said he *never* missed a note. It was crooked management that prevented The Small Faces from being far bigger than they should have been, dreadful shame. I’ve since listened to Robert Plant’s version but didn’t care for it at all. For me, it’s Tim Hardin’s original or the magical Marriott versions that have the most depth of feeling. Did you know Steve’s daughter Mollie inherited her dad’s voice? She has an album called Truth Is A Wolf, she’s terrific. If you don’t know her, just google Mollie Marriott, you may be pleasantly surprised.

    WOW, goosebumps! I sure do miss the amazing Steve Marriott, his voice takes me back to the sweet innocence of my youth discovering music from across the pond. I've been hooked ever since!

    How fantastic were this bunch of creative youngsters, absolutely magic and not truly recognised for their unique and inspiring enthusiasm for a new direction musically and fashion acceptance. I am so clad they were of my ilk!

    I always thought Bobby Darin's rendition was the gold standard until I heard Steve Marriott and the rest of this underappreciated band do this incredible song. I am beginning to believe that maybe the greatest injustice in my life was that the work of this group was not made available to those of us in the States as was the Stones, Beatles etc. I feel so cheated.

    I got their big black 12-inch vinyls in the 60s, and later their CDs in the 80s, now a released DVD

    Just gave you a thumbs up for your comment, agree that Marriott's voice is AMAZING.
    I dont even know how i'd describe his voice to someone! Its not shouting or screaming, (far to melodic for that)
    I'ts power vocals with a bit of the blues thrown in for good measure.
    No 'Star' performer in the world now, could come NEAR to that kind of performance.
    Have to say though that Bobby Darrins version though softer , was a lovely version

    Damn, so glad I stumbled across this video. This insipid song so desperately needed the Small Faces. Marriott's passionate vocal delivery, as well as his, and the band's playing, breathes life into a song that when performed as written, limps along like a dying ________ (please feel free to fill in the blank. Let's make this interactive, if you will. Lol.). Tim Hardin wrote so many great songs, but "Carpenter" is one I never cared for, until hearing this version. Thank you, Small Faces, for making this song enjoyable. The end.

      Ken Harrington he just has everything technically but the thing with Steve is he has the soul, I think he's the most souful vocalst Britain has produced

    • @kipponi
      @kipponi 8 років тому +24

      Yeah, Plant try to do same as Marriot but...well never succeed it.
      He admitted it later that Marriot is better than him. Best rock singer ever.

      Ha ha ha, ''parochial British whimsy''? The ''scale of Zeppelin'' ?
      Oh, the myriad levels of wrongness, especially with that first one, and especially about *this* song. You, Sir, have just shown yourself up as an ignorant fool.
      Or, to use parochial British whimsical terminology: 'a right berk'.
