Guys, I don't know your age- but this was a big hit in the States as well as in Europe.. The Small Faces came into prominence with their first single Ichycoo Park, and this was the follow up. I was 14 when the band was first breaking and a fan. Lots of garage bands in those days covered it...mine sure did. Of course, you know the band's later incarnation, with Rod Stewart on board, when they were simply The Faces. But this was the roots of the band. What I didn't know at that time was that vocalist P.P. Arnold had a place in the vocals, but you can see her included in another video of the tune. Still sounds good to my ears.
Small Faces were HUGE in Great Britain and Europe between 1965-68. They battled Who for third/ forth place behind Beatles and Stones, based on record sales and their scorching live performances. For various reason, they never came to the US with the "British Invasion", and thus have been fairly unknown. They broke up on NY eve '68/69 when Steve becme fed up with being tagged a "Teen Idol" and wanted to be taken seriously for his talent, not his looks. He joined with Peter Frampton, another frustrated "teen Idol", to form Humble Pie. PP Arnold has written: "Steve and I were lovers at this time, but he wrote "Tin Soldier" for Jenny Rylance. She was the love of his life." Steve was smitten with Jenny, Rod Stewart's girlfriend, but she was 5 yrs older than him and only thought of him as a friend. When she and Rod broke up, Steve stepped up his wooing and won her over with this song. They were married for 5 yrs before she left him due to constant touring with the Pie, substance abuse and erratic behavior. Says she: "cocaine killed our marriage". Three other great songs Steve wrote for Jenny were "All or Nothing", "Afterglow (of your love)'", and "Autumn Stone" If you are a fan of Led Zepperlin, you should listen to "You Need Lovin", released 3 yrs prior to Zeps cover, you will be surprised to see where Robert Plant got his inspiration. Also, please try more Humble Pie. I love the song you covered, but there are others that are more represntative of their style. Please try "I Don't Need No Dr." from their Live at the Fillmore album, it a real rocker.
@@glennandadriansrocktalk I should have checked. Sorry, new viewer here. If you haven't listened yet I highly recommend my favorite Humble Pie song - "I Wonder", a great blues/rock performance with Steve's very soulful vocals and harmonica solo, plus a killer guitar solo from Clem Clemson - his guitar weeps. Enjoyed what I've heard from you both so far.
This was a great live performance! So full of energy and a terrific catchy tune nad song. The lead singer does a brilliant job singing this great rock song. He puts full body and sould into it!. And the band backs him up extremely well too.
This is a mime of the original recording with PP Arnold. Tin Soldier was the only success they had in US. They could not tour because of ‘certain indiscretions’ which did not allow them to tour US at that time! Steve Marriott was one of the best soul singers the UK ever produced. R.I.P.
Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake is a great next step, it was where they were most influenced by Sgt Pepper and is them at their most psychedelic. I would suggest you go there next. Earlier work was in the soul-based mod style which is great, but a bit more mainstream if you will. The bassist, Ronnie Lane did a classic one off with Pete Townsend and of course the drummer, Kenney Jones, was the replacement for Keith Moon back in the day. A lot of intersection with the Who for sure.
Ogdens nut flake is a superb album. The bsmall faces were excellent some great singles. Onece Steve Marriot left for Humble pie, the Faces got Rod Stewart as lead singer, the rest is history
.y favorite group since 1967. There have a motown early period.and a psychedelic period. Try green circles they didn't like the commercial singles like sha LA LA LA Leemy favorite of all time.
Mick Jones from the Clash says he was heavily influenced by the Small Faces. Dee Dee Ramone, primary writer for the Ramones who grew up in Germany, as well.
Steve Marihot, nope it's Steve Marriat, just to help with pronunciation. Made one of the 60'smost eclectic albums "Ogdens Nut Gone Flake". Listen to their early stuff and hear how good they were.
Nope, it's Steve MARRIOTT. If you insist on presenting yourself on a public forum, especially to 'correct' someone, please be careful not to make yourself look a complete chump.
Sorry guys didn’t move the needle for me top ten review from two great bands they must been flying higher than kite.also mentioned humble pie thee worst show I’ve ever attended in 74 @ the chi town amphitheater besides the crowd being totally belligerent everyone seemed to be beaned out😮

This classic played on Montreal (Canada) rock radio for many many years. Total rocker, amazing.
Love The Small Faces, in my opinion Steve Marriott is the greatest male vocalist the UK has produced.
Amazing.

Also "A song for Jenny", when he was with Humble Pie.
@@atokadjoe Beautiful song, along with the heartbreaking "Say No More"💔
Has a very Who sound to the structure and vocals 👏👏👏

There is another version of this video with P.P. Armold singing.
Hey guys, check out "All or Nothing", and "Itchycoo Park" by the Small Faces. Both big hits here in the UK.

Don’t know what show you were watching, but Chi town LOVED Humble Pie❤
Have you forgotten Itchychoo Park?
They were better than the Beatles and they could play live, this is one of their best tracks, but listen to Lazy Sunday, very psychedelic
Brilliant song you can see where Jimmy Page got his moves from
Right, and Plant swiped his singing style.
You guys should listen to The Baker as well. RIP Steve, Ronnie and Ian.🙏❤️
Happy to say we have checked out Song of a Baker - check our vids!
The studio version is even better, cleaner.
TRES Cool/Heavy

Mate, are guys musical specialists? Youre tripping! Im not from the UK and they dominated juke boxes here. Shows how insular the US is /was.
No one in the US knows who these guys are. They are almost completely unknown! They might know the Faces but not the Small Faces.
Maybe you we not old enough
