I'd like Jamel to check out one or both of the other versions to see what he thinks. I think I've only heard the great Rare Earth version, will have to give the zTemptarions version a listen.
As good as this is, Every Picture is way better. IMHO it's the best song ever written. Listen to it twice before you do the video. The first time I heard it, I thought it was OK, but I had to hear it again. The second time through, I got it, and now it's still my favorite song almost 50 years later.
Rare Earth had a hit cover with this in 1970, covering another song originally done by their Motown label-mates the Temptations. Stewart's cover came out a year later.
thats right, but don't forget the other great members, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones, they helped Rod a lot to start his solocareer, I'm a big fan for 50 years of them all, keep on rockin' to you....Jogi, Germany
@@reallymysterious4393 They were a band's band. Everything they did was good. So nice to see that on occasion, Rod and Ronnie Wood still perform together.
"I'm Losing You"...Cover of the Temptations from 1966. Rare Earth also recorded. Rod Stewart...Lead Vocalist for the Jeff Beck Group. That's when I first heard him...But if you're going with Rod..."Maggie May," "You Wear it Well," "Tonight's The Night," "Stay With Me."
Faces was so underrated. Rod Stewart singin, Ronnie Wood playing. Ronnie Wood (and Faces) have considerable country influence which I find super interesting. Really good pedal steel player.
where oh where does this "underrated" stuff come from about certain awesome bands?? THE FACES was hardly underrated ..the first half of the 70s THE FACES actually pretty much ruled....Rod Already had a huge fan base ...so I dont get this "underrated" stuff...Maggie May was a HUGE record for them AND Rod...
Technically, this was Rod Stewart's solo release when he was still the lead vocal of The Faces, covering this Temptations' classic, but instead of having his studio band play the song, everyone from the Faces showed up and played. So it was a Rod Stewart song in the name only. The Faces even played this song live, and I think there is a great live jam version of it somewhere on TH-cam.
also note that Ronnie Wood from the Faces did play on pretty much every track on Rod's albums of that era, so really his solo albums are 2/5ths of the Faces
@@dkroll92 True. Ronnie Wood was indispensable to Rod Stewart's early career. Him on electric guitar and Martin Quittenton on acoustic guitar helped create the landmark early Rod Stewart sound ("Gasoline Alley", "Maggie May", "You Wear It Well", "Mandolin Wind"). When Rod and Ronnie reunited for the MTV Unplugged, it was so beautiful I actually cried watching it on MTV.
Faces started as out the Small Faces with Steve Marriot. When Steve left to form Humble Pie the band needed a new guitar player and singer. Enter Ron Wood and Rod Stewart. They changed the name to Faces and had several successful songs.
The greatest band you've never heard of. Some fantastic musicians working together and creating the early '70's perfect sound. These guys all went on to great careers with other bands - Stones, The Who, Rod Stewart, solo, etc. 😀 That drum solo and guitar work... Thanks for the video 👍
DAMN! Nobody can take you to church like Rod Stewart and The Faces! I haven't heard this song in 20 years and I can still air drum every lick of it -- there is no forgetting this classic song. Another great one of theirs is Every Picture Tells A Story. The energy level that Rod brings is unbelievable and that voice carries all the emotion and heartbreak in the world. I was one of the many requesting this song - thanks Jamal. More Rod Stewart and more Faces please!!!
There are literally too many Rod Stewart songs to list so here's a few: "EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY"- W/ Maggie Bell, the Scottish Janis Joplin. "THE FIRST CUT IS THE DEEPEST"- A Cat Stevens song "STAY WITH ME "- Another Faces song "MAGGIE MAY" "REASON TO BELIEVE" "TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT" "I WAS ONLY JOKING" "DO YA THINK I'M SEXY" "PASSION" "BABY JANE" "INFATUATION"- W/ Jeff Beck on guitar "PEOPLE GET READY"- W/ Jeff Beck on guitar "MY HEART CAN'T TELL YOU NO" I'll stop now but believe me I could name at least 10 more.
“ I Ain’t Supestitious” with Jeff Beck “Mandolin Wind” “Bad N Ruin” with the Faces “Shape Of Things” with Jeff Beck “Gasoline Alley”. “A Man Of Constant Sorrow “ Rod’s interpretation. “Had Me A Real Good Time” with the Faces. “Ooh La La” with the Faces “Seems Like A Long Time” “Handbags & Gladrags” “Lady Day” Like you said there’s plenty more
@@rogerscollier7424 the Faces' version of Ooh La La actually doesn't have Rod on it at all, that's Ronnie Wood singing. Apparently (according to Wikipedia) Rod later recorded his own version in the 90s, though
Oh you have no idea how big of Stewart fan I have been for ever. First concert my eighth grade year. At 51 I have a dear friend of 82 years of age that is a bigger fan than I am. God Bless Rod you have gave us all so much enjoyment. Making women young to old know what it feels like to be a desired woman, and just a bit gooey ooey chewy in the middle. 💕 💕 Thanks Jamal for letting a new generation feel this as well. My first love Rod all the way.....
I was 13 then this album hit L.A. radio. We played this so loud, you could hear it across the street and into the Hughes Market parking lot, and up to the sliding doors to go inside. Best start of summer ever!
Thanks bro for doing these videos regularly, even if you run into obstacles at times with music rights usage... Love your takes on 'em, and they offer an uplift in my day, and ability to refocus on what I love, music... Especially when everything else around us these days has gone so crazy... Thanks man... Much appreciation fr ✌🙏✊😎🌄
This one reminds me of my dad. He owned a Beer Joint when I was young and this was on the jukebox. It even sounds like it was recorded in a dark BeerJoint. (southern slang for bar). I guess that's why Rod was one of my first rock loves. I've seen him 6 times over the years and he never disappointed.
Thank you my Brother! Jamel, I was fortunate to see the Faces and Rod Stewart perform this one fine summer in 72 or 73. Sunset Series on the Commons in good ole Boston Mass! What a show! Great song, isn’t it?
I couldn't click on this fast enough. I was one of the persistent ones. I grew up in Motown and although I like the original version this is my favorite version. If I remember correctly, and if I don't I know someone will correct me, this was written by the legendary Holland/Dozier/Holland. I knew this would get Jamel moving. Jamel my brother you have entered one hell of a rabbit hole with Rod Stewart. Stay With Me is next in my opinion. Gotta stop writing now or I will be writing for a week.
I love me some Rod Stewart! So many great songs and beautiful ballads through the years. ‘Handbags and Gladrags’, ‘First Cut Is The Deepest’, ‘Girl From The North Country’, to name a few.
Fantastic rendition from one of the great rock n roll bands of the 70's, everyone on top form and from a great album, we played it non-stop with Rory Gallagher Live in Europe in our 4th Form - Rock on Rod!
My best friend and I went to see The Faces live when we were about 16 y.o. They head-lined and Jeff Beck and Aerosmith were also playing (along with someone opening we'd never heard of before). Rod & The Faces got arrested for destroying their hotel rooms and weren't going to be able to play. Jeff Beck was going to play a double set. We went and got a refund (I mean the tickets cost like 8 bucks). Aerosmith had just released Dream On so we weren't too hip to them. We liked Jeff Beck, but we'd come to see Rod. Still love them though
The other members of Faces, especially Ronnie Wood, were essentially the core of the backing musicians on Rod's early solo records. Rod had 2 recording contracts at the same time. A solo deal (which he signed before he joined Small Faces), and a band deal (for Small Faces, shortened to "Faces"). Rod has repeatedly thanked Faces for not just allowing, but actually HELPING him start his solo career while in that band.
He was solo while still in the Faces as well, often with some of his bandmates on the solo albums. He has often talked of a Faces reunion tour, but every year they wait, they tempt fate.
Another great Faces song is "Stay with Me". Definitely need a Live performance of the young Rod Stewart & Ron Wood. Rod is 75, still performing (and, still playing soccer) & Ron is 73 & still playing with the Rolling Stones since 1994. These guys have been performing for 50 years. It's amazing the talent that came out of the 60's & 70's. I can't imagine many performers today that will survive the test of time. We had such an abundance of great music during that time and many of the bands, solo artists, musicians are still performing today. I never saw Faces in concert but I was lucky enough to see Rod as a solo artist several times back in the 70's and eighties. Memorable times.
You need to see the live version of this song. It's definitely on youtube. Great Temptations song, but I was blown away with how well the Faces did it. Solid band.
Guitar by Ron Wood who later joined The Rolling Stones. Though this is Faces, it is actually on a Rod Stewart solo album. Drummer Kenny Jones replaced Keith Moon in The Who in 1981, ten years after this. Also, this was a MOTOWN cover via The Temptations.
And once again, you're showing me a great new song, I never knew! This is why I love music. Even if it's old, it's new to me. I'm learning so much! Thanks for existing, man!
Just doubled checked, but what Chris said in Rolling Stone was "To me, it's so obvious that I'm a Steve Marriott rip off, that I never think about Rod. I admit it. Steve is THE guy". (RS mag. May 1991). No offense to Rod, even Marriott admired his vocals according to his ex wife Jenny.
Yes, Jamal, the Church of Rock 'n Roll right there! 🎵🧡 Woo! Faces was his early band before going on to decades of solo work. Stewart just got better looking with age too, buddy... Looks, charm, talent, humor... The big Omg. 😊 😎👍 THANK YOU.
Love...love Rod Stewart!! Such an amazing singer. Very iconic singer. You can always recognize his voice anywhere. Oh...oh...cutting that rug!! Alot going on in this song!! He has some soul there!! 🥰💃
That was Kenny Jones on drums... He later played in The Who replacing Keith Moon after his untimely death. Speaking of Rod the Mod... Have you done 'Hot Legs' yet?
Really enjoyed your reaction and it really took me back to the seventies back when Faces toured a lot in the US. They put on a great rock and roll rhythm and blues show. One of the best concerts!!!!
This wasn't Faces, this was Rod Stewart solo on the "Every Picture Tells a Story" album. Motown Temptations did the original but Rod knocks it out of the park.
When you said “lawd” I right away wanted to recommend “Whippin’ Post” by the Alman Brothers. I checked first, and you’ve already done it, but what did I see in the thumbnail? “Good Lawd”!
One of my absolute favorite covers of all time. Rod Stewart put forth a solid vocal with that great voice of his. Former drummer of The Who, Kenny Jones, on the skins playing one of the best driving drum parts ever. Good review of a great song.
This track also features Ronnie Wood, who would later join the Rolling Stones and Kenney Jones who would join The Who as the replacement for Keith Moon. As others have mentioned, Every Picture Tells A Story is another solid Rod Stewart track that also features Ron Wood. It's a sort of stream-of-consciousness story about a young man trying to find his way in the world.
Small Faces with Rod Stewart. The very first concert I ever attended. It was this album's tour. Open air concert in Wichita Kansas... it...was...awesome. 1971 - next stop, for me, was the military...
love the Faces. Stay With Me was another big song for them. you oughta check out some Blind Faith, would love to hear your thoughts on " Cant Find My Way Home" Hyde Park 1969
One of my favorite singers ever when he started with the Jeff Beck Group and The Faces and some of his early solo stuff was brilliant and then puff he went Hollywood and commercial but even though iam not keen on his later stuff but his voice has always been one of the greatest ever!
Jamal, I really appreciate you. I don’t ever post comments, but I love the music you post - in some cases I haven’t heard these songs in decades and I really enjoy rediscovering them with you! Keep on rockin’!
Listening to this guitar from Ronnie Wood you can hear why we was the perfect guitarist to be a foil for Keith Richards when the Stones asked him to join the band.
Jamal--Oh, how I wish I could actually talk to you by voice. I have so many good things to say to you. You are doing such fine unifying work. And I am a blues player from way back, so most of my heroes are black. I was raised in a home that knew no color;only individual people.
Rod had a solo career going on at the same time he was in the Faces. So he was having solo hits like "Maggie May" at the same time he was having hits with the Faces. Then Rod went full solo when the Faces broke up in 1975. My favorite Faces song is "Stay With Me." Great song.
Amazing cover of an amazing song by an amazing band, sung by one of the greatest Rock 'N' Roll singers ever. Now please do "Every Picture Tells A Story."
Back in the British Invasion days, there was a little Mod band called, The Small Faces. (and they were all little guys - but mighty!) Of all the bands from that time, they were without a doubt the most authentically soulful....and the Mods were crazy about American Soul. When Steve Marriott left the group, it took two blokes to replace him! Enter, Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. Now they were simply the Faces and they had the "battle-hardened" nucleus of The Small Faces to build upon. The chemistry couldn't have been better, they were a terrific band.
For one of the bands that doesn't get enough credit for being a forerunner of heavy metal, check out the Jeff Beck Group, which had a young Rod Stewart on vocals, and Ron Wood, who played guitar for The Faces on bass. Their first album "Truth" came out in 1968, before Led Zeppelin, but that version of the Jeff Beck Group only lasted for two albums. This was in the period when rock groups were adding distortion and volume to music with blues roots, with the help of guitar effects and amplifier technology. Try "Let Me Love You", or "I Ain't Superstitious" from Truth, or "Plynth" from Beck Ola.

Let's give some props to the Temptations who did the original version. It's pretty good too.
David Ruffin. That's all I need to say.
Robert Burr oh, I thought as much it sounded familiar! 😀
Let's not forget Rare Earth for their tremendous cover of this track too. Link in-case you forgot: th-cam.com/video/F28X8--2dFU/w-d-xo.html
Nothing against James Taylor, but this is way better than his version of "How Sweet it Is."
I'd like Jamel to check out one or both of the other versions to see what he thinks. I think I've only heard the great Rare Earth version, will have to give the zTemptarions version a listen.
Hey Jamel you need to listen to EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY by Rod Stewart.
One of my favorite songs!
Stay With Me is excellent
As good as this is, Every Picture is way better. IMHO it's the best song ever written.
Listen to it twice before you do the video. The first time I heard it, I thought it was OK, but I had to hear it again. The second time through, I got it, and now it's still my favorite song almost 50 years later.
Stewart’s Masterpiece
Every picture is the masterpiece my bad
Ian McLagan on the boogie woogie rockin piano.
Check out "Stay With Me" by Rod Stewart and the Faces.
Love it!
Scrolling through the comments, my brain processed this as: Ian McKellen on the boogie woogie rockin piano.
@@antoniusbritannia8217 now that would be rockin! Dressed as Gandalf most likely.
"Stay With Me" = bad boy of rock, Rod Stewart
Absolutely check it out!
Rare Earth had a hit cover with this in 1970, covering another song originally done by their Motown label-mates the Temptations. Stewart's cover came out a year later.
Definitely a must-listen to cover of this song!
Then there was a late 80s version of the song it was considered a dance tune I suppose
Rare Earth's version sucked, hence why it's forgotten lol
@@greatunz67 - LMAO That was "sub-tle" ! ;-)
THE TEMPTATION DID A GREAT VERSION OF THIS
Small faces give us two great bands. Faces, with rod stewart and Ron Wood. And Humble Pie, withe Steve Marriot and Peter Frampton
The great Peter Frampton!
thats three ;)
thats right, but don't forget the other great members, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones, they helped Rod a lot to start his
solocareer, I'm a big fan for 50 years of them all, keep on rockin' to you....Jogi, Germany
Marriott was a trail blazer with that voice!
Damn Humble Pie my first concert...😎
"Stay With Me" is the Faces most banging hit single. Their version of McCartneys "Maybe Im Amazed" live on BBC tv is also amazing.
I agree. Yes.
Oh yes
Ooh la la also
Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz YES YES
Yeah, someone needs to do a reaction to Stay With Me.
One of the most underrated bands ever.
agreed!
Now there's a understatement
Small Faces were evan better! Marriott's vocals are second to none
@@reallymysterious4393 They were a band's band. Everything they did was good. So nice to see that on occasion, Rod and Ronnie Wood still perform together.
Yes!!!
I play bass in a Rod Stewart Faces tribute called Atlantic Crossing in Los Angeles.
Outstanding! Budding bass player myself....
Great album. I reckon you play Sailing then. Just saying the name takes me back. Was 20 when got Atlantic Crossing. 65 next week.
Very cool!
Nick Stone yes you are. Glad you recognize that.
Video's or a channel to check out?
"I'm Losing You"...Cover of the Temptations from 1966. Rare Earth also recorded. Rod Stewart...Lead Vocalist for the Jeff Beck Group. That's when I first heard him...But if you're going with Rod..."Maggie May," "You Wear it Well," "Tonight's The Night," "Stay With Me."
The faces "stay with me" might be the greatest rock song ever.
Great song! And also covered by The Undisputed Truth
Here comes the Goosebumps 😊
Ya I think Rod Stewart is one rabbit hole you should go down Jamal. Funky and with that Brit touch.
mandolin wind!!
When Rod was using his powers for good. Also check out "Stay with me."
Faces was so underrated. Rod Stewart singin, Ronnie Wood playing. Ronnie Wood (and Faces) have considerable country influence which I find super interesting. Really good pedal steel player.
Kenny Jones on drums, didn't he fill in for The Who when Keith Moon passed away ?
@@robertcoates6800 Don't forget Ronnie Lane!
@@robertcoates6800 yes he did, for a short time
@@musiclover3205 yep!!!! an unsung hero. underrated and overlooked. great songwriter. always standing in the shadow of marriot, stewart, wood.

THE FACES was hardly underrated ..the first half of the 70s THE FACES actually pretty much ruled....Rod Already had a huge fan base ...so I dont get this "underrated" stuff...Maggie May was a HUGE record for them AND Rod...
Back when Rod had soul and could sing his heart out.
@Julie Marino Rod is great all the time. The man is well into his 70s and he had throat cancer, give me a break!
@@clydeb7713 I didn't know he had throat cancer, sorry to hear this. I've always loved his voice.
Rod still has tons of soul.
Yeah sadly he is now a tribute act to himself.
He's still got it👊
From the title track "Every Picture Tells A Story" - "The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoes ..." Truly classic.
Let's not forget Kenny Jones and his drumming
Mick Waller played the drums on this particular cut.
@@Tom81196 Waller played the rest of the album, but this track is actually the Faces (uncredited).
Nicky Hopkins.
Wasn't it Mickey Waller playing drums on this album and song?
@@russellmaddox2437 thanks man, you just answered my posted question.
I highly recommend "Mandolin Wind" by this band. Faces was an awesome band.
Mandolin Wind was on a Rod Stewart album.
@@Tom81196 I always thought it was with Faces. My bad. Great song regardless.
Mandolin Wind actually the B-side to this single in 1971. Great tune.
My favorite Stewart song...”Coldest Winter in almost 14 years could never...never change your smile”
@@bapples No, awesome tune. A classic. Did'nt hear it again till MTV Unplugged and Seated with old friend Woods. Awesome. Unique.
One of my favorite songs from that time.... Rod Stewart's voice... so gritty.
You are gonna like Rod... before he went all pop music. Try Every Picture tells a story
The women I've known, I wouldn't let tie my shoes.
That line always hit home for me lol
...Donut
Yes! My favorite. They also did an awesome cover of Maybe I'm Amazed
Rod's first 5 solo albums are all stellar, as was the Faces stuff and Jeff Beck Group ... about 1968 to 74 Stewart was 100% golden
got to give the song - ‘Ooh la la’ - the faces - a listen, it’s a beautiful and amazing song about the lessons learned in life
Check out Ronnie Lane Live in Austin
Lane and Wood wrote. This live album opens and closes with this song.
Yes, Ooh La La fucking slaps

Sassymess mess You forgot.... Ooh, Lah, Lah..... by ronnie Lane / The Faces.
I was only joking is my fav by Rod Stewart. I love the epic guitar solos.
Try Faces "Stay With Me" , a Rocking Banger! Amazing intro
To get the full effect you really need to see the live version. They were amazing on stage.
Great Song Jamal!! Rod Stewart at his best....A suggestion..Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck. "People Get Ready"....puts chills up your spine !!!
Absolutely!!!! Please. . an amazing video and song
Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart and the lads at their very best. One of the most under-rated bands in rock...but one of the best ever!!
They did the Temptations proud on this cover.
This was actually from a Rod Stewart solo album, but all of the Faces played on it.
Oh you have no idea how big of Stewart fan I have been for ever. First concert my eighth grade year. At 51 I have a dear friend of 82 years of age that is a bigger fan than I am. God Bless Rod you have gave us all so much enjoyment. Making women young to old know what it feels like to be a desired woman, and just a bit gooey ooey chewy in the middle. 💕 💕
Thanks Jamal for letting a new generation feel this as well. My first love Rod all the way.....
I was 13 then this album hit L.A. radio.
We played this so loud, you could hear it across the street and into the Hughes Market parking lot, and up to the sliding doors to go inside.
Best start of summer ever!

They really don't make music like this anymore. I really wish Rod Stewart would have stuck to his rock and roll roots.
This one reminds me of my dad. He owned a Beer Joint when I was young and this was on the jukebox. It even sounds like it was recorded in a dark BeerJoint. (southern slang for bar). I guess that's why Rod was one of my first rock loves. I've seen him 6 times over the years and he never disappointed.

For another great Motown cover you should react to Vannila Fudge doing "You Keep Me Hanging On". Incredible!
I love me some Rod Stewart! So many great songs and beautiful ballads through the years. ‘Handbags and Gladrags’, ‘First Cut Is The Deepest’, ‘Girl From The North Country’, to name a few.
You should check out Rod when he was with the orginal Jeff Beck Group - "Morning Dew" or "I ain't Superstitious"
Kenny Jones.....what a monster drummer. Taste, finesse, power, flair, restraint, dynamics, plus more swing than a hundred playgrounds.
Sorry chaps, but Mick Waller was driving the sticks on this album version. Kenny Jones drummed when Rod did this with Faces.
Old Temptations song. Listen to "Stay with Me." The defintive Faces song.
Faces another awesome old school band! Luv the intro to this song 🎸💙
Fantastic rendition from one of the great rock n roll bands of the 70's, everyone on top form and from a great album, we played it non-stop with Rory Gallagher Live in Europe in our 4th Form - Rock on Rod!
That's Ronnie Wood on guitar. He's been the new guy in the Stones since the mid-seventies.
I was wondering if it was Ron or Jeff Beck.
imagine being in a band for 45 years and still being the "new guy." You think he ever lies in bed at night and thinks about that?
/s
Lots of great drunken lives Faces videos out there. Their version of McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed” is one of my faves.
I saw Rod with Jeff Beck in the 60's when he had brown hair. The Faces were originally Small Faces . with Steve Marriot singing leads
My best friend and I went to see The Faces live when we were about 16 y.o. They head-lined and Jeff Beck and Aerosmith were also playing (along with someone opening we'd never heard of before). Rod & The Faces got arrested for destroying their hotel rooms and weren't going to be able to play. Jeff Beck was going to play a double set. We went and got a refund (I mean the tickets cost like 8 bucks). Aerosmith had just released Dream On so we weren't too hip to them. We liked Jeff Beck, but we'd come to see Rod. Still love them though
This single was credited as "Rod Stewart with Faces", but it's on Rod's third solo album.
The other members of Faces, especially Ronnie Wood, were essentially the core of the backing musicians on Rod's early solo records. Rod had 2 recording contracts at the same time. A solo deal (which he signed before he joined Small Faces), and a band deal (for Small Faces, shortened to "Faces"). Rod has repeatedly thanked Faces for not just allowing, but actually HELPING him start his solo career while in that band.
he has a very unique voice. He as with faces before he went solo.
Rod Stewart was cool back then.
He was solo while still in the Faces as well, often with some of his bandmates on the solo albums. He has often talked of a Faces reunion tour, but every year they wait, they tempt fate.
Only song that really has a drum solo in the middle of it
As a lifelong fan and admirer of Rodney - I'm 68 now - all I can say is "Still alive & kicking" ! Gotta love the man. Unique.
Another great Faces song is "Stay with Me". Definitely need a Live performance of the young Rod Stewart & Ron Wood. Rod is 75, still performing (and, still playing soccer) & Ron is 73 & still playing with the Rolling Stones since 1994. These guys have been performing for 50 years. It's amazing the talent that came out of the 60's & 70's. I can't imagine many performers today that will survive the test of time. We had such an abundance of great music during that time and many of the bands, solo artists, musicians are still performing today. I never saw Faces in concert but I was lucky enough to see Rod as a solo artist several times back in the 70's and eighties. Memorable times.
React to their song "Stay with me"! It's a banger. "Oh la la" is also great.
There ain't a single flaw with any song on Every Picture Tells A Story album This Lp & Raiders... Indian Reservation Lp are my favorite albums ever!!!
You need to see the live version of this song. It's definitely on youtube. Great Temptations song, but I was blown away with how well the Faces did it. Solid band.
Guitar by Ron Wood who later joined The Rolling Stones. Though this is Faces, it is actually on a Rod Stewart solo album. Drummer Kenny Jones replaced Keith Moon in The Who in 1981, ten years after this. Also, this was a MOTOWN cover via The Temptations.
Yep
Now you’re opening a rabbit hole leading to the early Jeff Beck Group with Rod Stewart on vocals and Ronnie Wood on bass!
Ain’t Superstitious!
And what a glorious rabbit hole it is!!!!
I wore this album out, back in the day. "Mandolin Wind" was another good one song from it.
And once again, you're showing me a great new song, I never knew! This is why I love music. Even if it's old, it's new to me. I'm learning so much! Thanks for existing, man!
Mandolin Wind. The song that made me fall in love with that voice a lifetime ago 😊
Chris Robinson of the Black Crows said Faces is where they got their inspiration.
Just doubled checked, but what Chris said in Rolling Stone was "To me, it's so obvious that I'm a Steve Marriott rip off, that I never think about Rod. I admit it. Steve is THE guy". (RS mag. May 1991). No offense to Rod, even Marriott admired his vocals according to his ex wife Jenny.
Take THAT, Yacht Rock!
Yes was thinking the same thing! 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, Jamal, the Church of Rock 'n Roll right there! 🎵🧡 Woo! Faces was his early band before going on to decades of solo work. Stewart just got better looking with age too, buddy... Looks, charm, talent, humor... The big Omg. 😊 😎👍 THANK YOU.
Love...love Rod Stewart!! Such an amazing singer. Very iconic singer. You can always recognize his voice anywhere. Oh...oh...cutting that rug!! Alot going on in this song!! He has some soul there!! 🥰💃
There was a brief time in the 70's where the Faces supplanted the Rolling Stones as the greatest rock and roll band in the world.
@Buddy Wiser Well I did mention it was brief lol.
That was Kenny Jones on drums... He later played in The Who replacing Keith Moon after his untimely death. Speaking of Rod the Mod... Have you done 'Hot Legs' yet?
Really enjoyed your reaction and it really took me back to the seventies back when Faces toured a lot in the US. They put on a great rock and roll rhythm and blues show. One of the best concerts!!!!
I love Face and early 70s Rod Stewart. Great storytelling with good bluesy rock & roll.
This wasn't Faces, this was Rod Stewart solo on the "Every Picture Tells a Story" album. Motown Temptations did the original but Rod knocks it out of the park.
True, but it is the Faces on the backing track. The members often guested on his early solo albums.
Correct it’s credited as Rod Stewart With Faces on the single (which peaked at #24 in December 1971)
When you said “lawd” I right away wanted to recommend “Whippin’ Post” by the Alman Brothers. I checked first, and you’ve already done it, but what did I see in the thumbnail? “Good Lawd”!
One of my absolute favorite covers of all time. Rod Stewart put forth a solid vocal with that great voice of his. Former drummer of The Who, Kenny Jones, on the skins playing one of the best driving drum parts ever. Good review of a great song.
You just can’t beat Early Rod Stewart solo, with the Faces or Jeff Beck Group. He had a lot of soul in his voice!!!
The original Motown by The Temptations?
You picked a gem. I'll add my vote to the others encouraging you to listen to the Rare Earth version. Also a gem
This track also features Ronnie Wood, who would later join the Rolling Stones and Kenney Jones who would join The Who as the replacement for Keith Moon. As others have mentioned, Every Picture Tells A Story is another solid Rod Stewart track that also features Ron Wood. It's a sort of stream-of-consciousness story about a young man trying to find his way in the world.
Small Faces with Rod Stewart. The very first concert I ever attended. It was this album's tour. Open air concert in Wichita Kansas... it...was...awesome. 1971 - next stop, for me, was the military...
love the Faces. Stay With Me was another big song for them. you oughta check out some Blind Faith, would love to hear your thoughts on " Cant Find My Way Home" Hyde Park 1969
Arguably one of the best voices in rock music
One of my favorite singers ever when he started with the Jeff Beck Group and The Faces and some of his early solo stuff was brilliant and then puff he went Hollywood and commercial but even though iam not keen on his later stuff but his voice has always been one of the greatest ever!
Jamal, I really appreciate you. I don’t ever post comments, but I love the music you post - in some cases I haven’t heard these songs in decades and I really enjoy rediscovering them with you! Keep on rockin’!
There is a live version of this filmed at the BBC
if Jamel truly enjoys hearing music performed live
The live version is fantastic.
You need to their version of twisting the night away
Listening to this guitar from Ronnie Wood you can hear why we was the perfect guitarist to be a foil for Keith Richards when the Stones asked him to join the band.
Jamal--Oh, how I wish I could actually talk to you by voice. I have so many good things to say to you. You are doing such fine unifying work. And I am a blues player from way back, so most of my heroes are black. I was raised in a home that knew no color;only individual people.
Hey Jamal try a band from same time called The Babys (Is'nt it time)
John Waite
Yes!
I second that! Head First as well as Isn't It Time. Every Time I Think Of You is another good choice.
Love The Babys, Isn't It Time, Every Time I Think Of You and Change by John Waite.
Love them.
Atlanta Rhythm Section - So Into You. Yeah, Rod covered this song well. I like the original better.
I can't think of nothin'else!
I dig ARS
ARS Not gonna let it bother me tonight.
Rod had a solo career going on at the same time he was in the Faces. So he was having solo hits like "Maggie May" at the same time he was having hits with the Faces. Then Rod went full solo when the Faces broke up in 1975. My favorite Faces song is "Stay With Me." Great song.
Amazing cover of an amazing song by an amazing band, sung by one of the greatest Rock 'N' Roll singers ever. Now please do "Every Picture Tells A Story."
Jackson Browne "Stay". Make sure you watch the oldest, longest live version you can find.
driving DRUMS ..is that ol' Kenny Jones
It is and will always be.
@@soaringvulture very cool ,remember seeing him in Who after Moony passed away..
sungodrah The drummer on this album was Mick Waller.
@@sergeabud7046 The personnel varied with each cut. The drummer on "I'm Losing You" is Kenney Jones; that was a pure Faces track.
Haven't heard this song in a minute! Thanks once again for bringing back the memories!!!
Back in the British Invasion days, there was a little Mod band called, The Small Faces. (and they were all little guys - but mighty!) Of all the bands from that time, they were without a doubt the most authentically soulful....and the Mods were crazy about American Soul. When Steve Marriott left the group, it took two blokes to replace him! Enter, Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. Now they were simply the Faces and they had the "battle-hardened" nucleus of The Small Faces to build upon. The chemistry couldn't have been better, they were a terrific band.
👍
Rod really wanted to play socker !
But he didn't! 🙏😁
Check out Ooh La La by the Faces also. Ron Wood, later in the Stones sings it.
That is the late great Mickey Waller doing that phenomenal drum solo. To this day it remains my favorite drum solo of all time.
For one of the bands that doesn't get enough credit for being a forerunner of heavy metal, check out the Jeff Beck Group, which had a young Rod Stewart on vocals, and Ron Wood, who played guitar for The Faces on bass. Their first album "Truth" came out in 1968, before Led Zeppelin, but that version of the Jeff Beck Group only lasted for two albums. This was in the period when rock groups were adding distortion and volume to music with blues roots, with the help of guitar effects and amplifier technology. Try "Let Me Love You", or "I Ain't Superstitious" from Truth, or "Plynth" from Beck Ola.
Didn't the Temptations do a version of this song?..
The Temptations did this first!
Temps did the original
Rare Earth did a great cover too.
Try the small faces itchy coo park
Nononononono
That's a somewhat different band, with Steve Marriott singing lead and playing guitar; no Rod, no Ronnie Wood. But one of my favorites, though.
What a song! I remember hearing this on CHOM when I was 7 or 8, let's say it made a music lover out of me.
The music when I was in high school. Brings back memories.
