There's a version of that and I Don't Need No Doctor with The Blackberries. Both are excellent! I believe it was Midnight Special and Humble Pie was featured.
Before Humble Pie, Steve Marriott was with The Small Faces and after he formed Packet of Three. Robert Plant gophered for The Small Faces and was heavily influenced by Marriott. Every genre of music that Steve sang he nailed it.
Steve Marriott lived in Essex near to me and I saw him play two gigs in a local pub The Oliver Twist, Colchester… at one I was invited to dance (wiggle) on stage (a very small stage) with a friend… The packet of three was the trio, a blues master class and the most memorable gigs of my life. 60 mins of pure class not long before Steve sadly died…
Pure, raw, rock and roll right there. To me, the interaction between Steve and the Blackberries is what makes this performance so special. You can see the appreciation for the others talent, in their faces and actions.
👍Humble Pie also does great renditions of Ray Charles’ Hallelujah I Love Her So and I Don’t Need No Doctor. Live at Fillmore East. Thanks for this video 👏👏👏🎶
Thank you for reacting to this. When I saw Humble Pie live I was blown away by this song and the entire show. In fact, my first Humble Pie show was almost as great as my first Led Zeppelin show ( 3:54 although Zeppelin is why I am a drummer). Anyway, we enjoyed your reaction greatly, especially Debbie as she is terminally ill and as I take care of her I try to find ways to make her smile and take her mind off of things for a while so thank you so much for making her heart smile today which happens to be the youngest of our 13 grand children, Zelda's, 4th birthday. Thanks again.
The Old Grey Whistle Test was a fantastic BBC institution that introduced many of us to music and artists we’d never have access to at the time. Steve Marriott was well established by this time but the chemistry and love between him and his co-singers (not background, no way) is something quite profound and only captured on TV in a small studio. Extraordinary.
Steve Marriott was a very influential singer of the '60s and '70s with the Small Faces, Humble Pie, and solo. You might give a listen to Small Faces' "All Or Nothing" or "Tin Soldier" as well as Humble Pie's "30 Days in the Hole." Some bio: Marriott as a kid was one of the first actors to sing the Artful Dodger part in the London stage musical "Oliver."
OH, OH, OH!!! STEVE MARRIOTT'S VOCALS!! This is a GREAT TUNE! They did SUCH A GREAT JOB on THIS ONE!! :) Thirty Days In The Hole is ANOTHER FAV!! ENJOY, SEBS (& ALI!!)
I'm a massive fan of Humble Pie. Black Coffee is amazing. It's done with such a great sense of humour and Steve Marriott is one of the best soul singer ever. We are too sensitive today. The Blackberries are solid and I love their sound. Beautiful ladies with beautiful voices. I didn't even register colour back then. I registered talent. They all have it in spades (no pun intended). Ever see KC & the Sunshine Band? Interracial bands were so common no one batted an eye. We love talent and if they had soul. That's all I really cared about.
@@sandwiches-o3f Back in the 60's they did. In the US, blues artists, who are now legendary names, were playing tiny clubs. Bands like The Rolling Stones, The Animals, and later bands like Cream, Small Faces, Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green era) gave them an audience in The UK. They would bring over people like Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters etc and they would play big venues because of the patronage of the UK 'blues boom' bands.
Vanetta Fields ( lady in the middle) was backup singer for John Farnham from 1986-1995. She lives in Australia and is a vocal coach. Fields was a backing vocalist for touring American and British rock and pop acts of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as working as a session recording vocalist, she worked with artists including Ike & Tina Turner, Pink Floyd, Humble Pie, Barbra Streisand, Elkie Brooks, Neil Diamond, Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Bob Seger and the Rolling Stones. After emigrating to Australia in 1982, she took up citizenship. She recorded or toured as a backing singer for Australian artists Richard Clapton, Australian Crawl, Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, James Morrison and John Farnham..
I toured Australia with John Farnham / vennetta in 1990 ( part the support band Sam brown) vennetta is a great and gracious lady. John and co. Were a pleasure to tour with✨ Ps. Jimmy was great as well , did three open air concerts in New Zealand with Jimmy along with the stray cats. Good people.
Steve was a real Cockney Sparrer (sparrow). We were both from Manor Park, London E12. His father Bill and mine were good friends down at the Manor Park Constitutional Club. One of my best weekends ever was when one Saturday we watched West Ham Utd play at home and win in the afternoon and then had tickets for Humble Pie's hometown evening gig at the Bingo Hall in Barking Road just a couple of hundred yards from the stadium. Next day my old man insisted I join him early down at his club, which I did. He knew that Bill Marriot would be bringing Steve to the club for a drink. Home win, fantastic concert and then meet your hero next day. Good memory. He left us too soon sadly, but I will never forget him. Manor Park and the area spawned a number of musical successes. Most notably The Ruskin (Arms) in Manor Park High Road.........nowadays remembered as the pub where Iron Maiden were practically the house band and started their career.
Old grey whistle test was one of the premier BBC2 music programs. Fronted by Whispering Bob Harris...for 20plus years everyone went including Bob marley and the Wailers and the sound and performances were always something special. Dont forget Tin soldier with PP Arnold .. a love of his life. Steve Mariot was a singing genius but started out as a child actor ...he played the Artful Dodger in the early movie of Charles Dickens's David Copperfield. Mariot often leaned into the title of the Artful Dodger on stage. How do you like your coffee? ...Strong and💃🏿Black 😎... Just saying and the sisters are singing the same ... Some only look in one direction , others look out wider for whoever catches their eyes 👁️🧠👁️...😉
Another great Humble Pie song besides 30 Days in the Hole is I Dont Need No Doctor!!!! Great reaction. Just an fyi. This group was formed by Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton!!! ❤❤❤❤
Old codger here I just love my old hippie music Great reaction rock on only saw clips of the old gray whistle test it was a British show back then we couldn't get it
From Wikipedia…… The Old Grey Whistle Test (sometimes abbreviated to Whistle Test or OGWT) is a British television music show. 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. Whistle Test launched on UK’s BBC2 in 1971 - the show focused on albums, rather than chart hits. The series' opening titles theme was an animation of a male figure made up of stars (known as the 'Star Kicker') dancing. The programme's title music, with its harmonica theme, was a track called Stone Fox Chase by a Nashville band, Area Code 615.
I saw him around that time also. Right after he had appendicitis. We thought the show would be canceled. He played and the first song he played was “I don’t need no doctor “
You must/should be familiar with Peter Frampton! He is still performing & touring & his Frampton Comes Alive album should be in every rock music lover's collection. Check it out if you haven't already!!! ❤
I was in a rock band back in the 70’s. The lead guitar player for our band brought a copy of Humble Pie (Rockin the Fillmore). We all went nuts the minute we heard this band. We immediately learned “Stone Cold Fever” and “I don’t Need No Doctor”, and added them to our play list…..they were big hit’s every time we played them. In our area Humble Pie was unheard of at that time. 👍😎🎸🇨🇦
Man, that brings back memories -- I saw Humble Pie live at a free (!) concert in Hyde Park, London, way back in July 1971. My very first live concert, too, with a very Woodstock vibe, lounging on the grass in a crowd of 40,000 people. (The second headline act was Grand Funk Railroad, btw.)
In my opinion “I Wonder” off the “Smokin’” album is the best song that they ever recorded. Clem Clemson played his heart out on this song. It didn’t get radio time but it is my all time favorite blues song. Marriott sang his heart out on it. Steve was killed when his house caught fire. Some people believe his manager, Sharon Osborne’s dad, had it done so that he would not have to pay Steve the money he owed him. He was a father of many children and a husband of no one. His beautiful voice was snuffed out when he was just 42 years old. Please please PLEASE play “I Wonder”. It’s best on the “Smokin’” album! I love it so much! I can’t wait for you to hear it!
30 Days in the Hole is a must. Also, remember when you are delving into the early British bands, say 1965-1975, they were totally enamored with American Blues. They put that love into their music.
Humble Pie released an iconic double live album - 'Rocking the Fillmore' (guess where they were playing - 'Listen to 'Walk on Gilded Splinters' - on vinyl it was a complete side of one LP (22 mins I think) and it NEVER palls, never gets boring and never disappoints. Great band!
The Old Grey Whistle Test was a ground-breaking music program. It simply could not happen today. If you want to see some top artists performing live then this is the place to go. No auto-tune no retakes just pure talent on show. Big names every week. In fact I suspect they were clamouring to get on the show. Hosted by "whispering Bob Harris".
The Old Grey Whistle Test was a British Show of some kind where many musical acts sometimes performed entire concerts. Always top notch sound and video quality and you can find a ton of music videos like this one here on youtube. Keep on digging and discovering!!!
Black Coffee was a minor hit in Honolulu in about 1973. Before the band played locally I had gotten a copy and digested it. I went to the concert and they were very good, with Marriot singing all the intros to the songs and any intervening language between. That seemed quite unusual to me. Quite notably, when the Rolling Stones came through town about six months later and did a set of concerts, Mick Jagger did the same thing, again very unusual! Humble Pie, was considered a hot group - their previous hit 30 Days in the Hole, had put them on the FM radio play lists of the time. But they didn't seem to last much longer! I think something happened to Marriot about then.
Vicariously, you need to hear the 'Live' version of, 'I Don't Need No Doctor'. It's from the 'Live' Humble Pie Rockin' The Fillmore East double album from 1971? Stevie Marriott is one of the great rock vocalists ever. Though he was small of stature, he was a giant musically. He was plagued with Bi-Polar I think and had trouble with bandmates and management alike. (I think it was Steve that was troubled, but I can handle being wrong). In it's original configuration this was one of my favorite Rock bands all-time. Frampton was just a baby when he helped form this band. Thanks for this reaction.
First headliner I sever saw was Humble Pie in 1972. Still one of my favorite bands. Another favorite is Blodwyn Pig. Try some stuff from Ahead Rings Out
The old Grey whistle test was a great show in the 70's that showed live performances of every single band or singer that was worth something . Including a stones, who etcetcetc. Brilliant , brilliant x 5 . WATCH IT.
The Bigfoot at the end was “whispering Bob Harris”..presenter and musical oficianado in the UK . Steve Marriott had possibly the best blues rock voice ever… absolutely awesome, died in a house fire sadly
30 DAYS IN THE HOLE is a must listen. Also, Peter Frampton is the lead singer who went on solo and has many great hits. DO YOU FEEL LIKE WE DO, is a must listen. live on Midnight Special
OMG!OMG! Almost NO ONE does this song!!!!! Or 30 Day's in The Hole!! " Ahem" my brothers favorite by these guy's he's 10 years older than me , so I was like 10 years old when I heard this hooked ever since.
Sebs. Humble Pie (Live) Rockin the Filmore. Just listen to the whole thing. The young Peter Frampton has a (you'll appreciate this) Black Les Paul Custom that a friend loaned to him, as he didn't have a great guitar to play on this U.S. tour. Had a distinctive extra third gold humbucker mounted on it. You'll certainly notice the guitar and it's sound (one of the things that I love about you) The gig was so awesome, the guy just let him keep it. Just Imagine that!
I thought this was their original but it was written and recorded by Ike and Tina Turner .. "30 Days in the Hole" is a banger and his older band Small Faces were great with sounds like Itchycoo Park Tin Soldier "Afterglow"
In his solo career, Peter Frampton had one of the biggest sellers of all time, Frampton Comes Alive. He is a master of a very unusual intrument known as the talk box, where he basically makes is voice sound like a weird electric guitar. For this one, I think Humble Pie might have been a tad bit over caffienated.
OK this is the music of my generation, but it was through TH-cam and Spotify I first heard much of the music I didn't could afford to buy in my youth! Like this one. What I remember is Marriott when in Small Faces singing "Tin soldier". To have seen the Tin soldier video with P.P. Arnold chorusing is a part of general education! You don't need to make a video, but you should have heard it! (and a few 100 other songs). Since its close to Halloween, todays offer is "Zomby Woof" with Frank Zappa (audio) or Zappa plays Zappa ft. Steve Vai & Napoleon Murphy Brock.
I got to see HP back in the day with the Blackberries. I second some of the recommendations of others. esp - I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR, and THIRTY DAYS IN THE HOLE ... some harder rock there - love the Blackberries.
Music people know about Marriott. He never made it really big in the states....Peter Frampton, who was also in Humble Pie became HUGE with Frampton Comes Alive in the mid 70s. Steve Marriott was a brilliant blues voice....too many toxic substances got in the way and he died in a fire. I believe there was some question as to whether he may have set that fire on purpose. RIP
Sweetheart, that WHOLE SONG was double entendre! I've listened to MANY of them and Nina Simone's, Sugar in My Bowl, is legendary! Check it out! Thank you! I forgot about this one!
I can't figure out how to submit suggestions or if I have to donate to make suggestions, so I'll just throw this out there. I'm suggesting "ring on the Rain" by Jo Dee Messina, featuring Tim McGraw. Another recommendation that isn't country, "I Can't Hold Back" by Survivor, circa 1984. Thank you for your consideration.
I was living in the UK up until '67 and remember when Steve Marriott was in the Small Faces and Peter Frampton was in the Herd. I remember "Itchycoo Park" and "Tin Soldier" by the Small Faces, and "From the Underworld" by the Herd.
@@LonghopeBro-ju6jl Wow! they really had a different fashion sense back then. And check out a very young Peter Frampton. The Herd (feat. Peter Frampton) - From The Underworld (1967) th-cam.com/video/323lYSPDbyQ/w-d-xo.html
Check out Humble Pie: Live At the Forum...it's one of the best live albums ever and 30 Days In the Hole off their Smokin' album with an awesome vocal by Steve Mariott!
As mentioned below Mariott was rumored to be the first choice for Led Zeppelin but because execs considered Zeppelin to be experimental they told Page and others to keep their hands off because Steve Mariott was going to be a superstar.
Hey Sebs-love your reviews!! Try some Florida Georgia Line w/luke Bryan This is how we roll-this song gets stuck in your head or Sun Daze . Up beat country! 👍
Humble Pie is my favorite version of Black Coffee but, Joe Bonamassa does an excellent cover of Black Coffee with Beth Hart belting out some fantastic vocals.
Check OUT "FOR YOUR LOVE", "30 DAYS IN THE Hole" AND their 3 backup singers do a great version of the Beatles "Twist and Shout." Peter Frampton was in this band in the early days.
While you're checking out Steve Marriott's band Humble Pie, don't forget he had another grorup called Small Faces, a song/video of pure blues - Five Long Years: th-cam.com/video/XMCgqjYA424/w-d-xo.html
This was filmed after Peter Frampton left to go solo. Peter wanted to be the front man and there just wasn't a chance for him as long as Steve was there. Steve was a natural front man with his history in acting. He had a Broadway type acting career as a teen, playing Oliver Twist. He came home one day, said he quit his acting job because he wanted to be a rock star instead. Anything with Steve Marriott is a must see. Humble Pie was featured on Midnight Special and they had The Blackberries with them. Their other major hit was I Don't Need No Doctor. Here's 30 Days from that special. th-cam.com/video/xvO8h1kZLQs/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUlMzAgZGF5cyBpbiB0aGUgaG9sZSB3aXRoIGJsYWNrYmVycmllcw%3D%3D
Before Humble Pie Steve was in The Small Faces. They had quite a bit of commercial success as well and it's where Robert Plant studied Steve. One song The Small Faces performed was clearly the predecessor to Whole Lotta Love. This is it and it's called You Need Lovin' th-cam.com/video/tp0jZ4BGuDw/w-d-xo.html
Way back you all know since I don't know when See I got hungover before I was 10 You see my skin is white but my soul is black So hot black coffee, that's where it's at
30 days in the hole you need to hear this , solid blues and soul.
There's a version of that and I Don't Need No Doctor with The Blackberries. Both are excellent! I believe it was Midnight Special and Humble Pie was featured.
Before Humble Pie, Steve Marriott was with The Small Faces and after he formed Packet of Three. Robert Plant gophered for The Small Faces and was heavily influenced by Marriott. Every genre of music that Steve sang he nailed it.

Check out the DVD Steve Marriott Live in London… That’s the closest you’ll get to my experience…
@@Chrislayeruk1 Five Long Years live with Packet of Three is one of my favorite live performances by Steve.
@Nyxi_Nyx pure Magic
Humble Pie - "30 Days in the Hole" one of the best songs ever!
Pure, raw, rock and roll right there. To me, the interaction between Steve and the Blackberries is what makes this performance so special. You can see the appreciation for the others talent, in their faces and actions.
The Old Grey Whistle Test was a brilliant B.B.C. music programme .

Who’s going to tell him that black coffee isn’t about “coffee” ? BTW: The backup ladies are the Blackberries
Just the way Steve's interacting and smiling with them it's kinda obvi.
Also containing the inestimable Vanetta Fields, who later moved to,Oz and sang for many years with John Farnham. She sang with all the great bands.
😂👍

i was Peter's guitar tech for a few shows in the mid 90's and he LOVED playing these old tracks.
Those white dudes from england loved the blues more than americans did!!
Not true.

The Bigfoot at the end was “whispering Bob Harris”..presenter and musical oficianado in the UK .
Steve Marriott had possibly the best blues rock voice ever… absolutely awesome, died in a house fire sadly
30 DAYS IN THE HOLE is a must listen. Also, Peter Frampton is the lead singer who went on solo and has many great hits. DO YOU FEEL LIKE WE DO, is a must listen. live on Midnight Special
I came across the music of Humble Pie back in mid '70s eight track tapes and vinyl records. Steve could really wail.
It is 30 Days in the Hole. A great song.
OMG!OMG! Almost NO ONE does this song!!!!! Or 30 Day's in The Hole!! " Ahem" my brothers favorite by these guy's he's 10 years older than me , so I was like 10 years old when I heard this hooked ever since.
Sebs. Humble Pie (Live) Rockin the Filmore. Just listen to the whole thing. The young Peter Frampton has a (you'll appreciate this) Black Les Paul Custom that a friend loaned to him, as he didn't have a great guitar to play on this U.S. tour. Had a distinctive extra third gold humbucker mounted on it. You'll certainly notice the guitar and it's sound (one of the things that I love about you) The gig was so awesome, the guy just let him keep it. Just Imagine that!
What a personality, especially on this song 🎶🎵💚
I thought this was their original but it was written and recorded by Ike and Tina Turner .. "30 Days in the Hole" is a banger and his older band Small Faces were great with sounds like Itchycoo Park Tin Soldier "Afterglow"
I started laughing as SOON as I saw the title.🤣👍
(I still have my Humble Pie "Smokin' " album.
Thats Davey Pettison who was joined with Ronnie Montrose and Pat McCormack.
In his solo career, Peter Frampton had one of the biggest sellers of all time, Frampton Comes Alive. He is a master of a very unusual intrument known as the talk box, where he basically makes is voice sound like a weird electric guitar. For this one, I think Humble Pie might have been a tad bit over caffienated.
OK this is the music of my generation, but it was through TH-cam and Spotify I first heard much of the music I didn't could afford to buy in my youth! Like this one. What I remember is Marriott when in Small Faces singing "Tin soldier". To have seen the Tin soldier video with P.P. Arnold chorusing is a part of general education! You don't need to make a video, but you should have heard it! (and a few 100 other songs). Since its close to Halloween, todays offer is "Zomby Woof" with Frank Zappa (audio) or Zappa plays Zappa ft. Steve Vai & Napoleon Murphy Brock.
Hey Sebs, Substitute the word coffee for a female body part, That's what the song is about
Pls check out Humble Pie's version of "That's how strong my love is". This song has been covered by many bands/singers, but their version rocks.
First saw them when they opened for Grand Funk….then saw them 2 times after that great band loved Steve
I got to see HP back in the day with the Blackberries. I second some of the recommendations of others. esp - I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR, and THIRTY DAYS IN THE HOLE ... some harder rock there - love the Blackberries.
That was young Peter Frampton on guitar.
This was after Frampton left. That looks like Clem Clempson on guitar
Music people know about Marriott. He never made it really big in the states....Peter Frampton, who was also in Humble Pie became HUGE with Frampton Comes Alive in the mid 70s. Steve Marriott was a brilliant blues voice....too many toxic substances got in the way and he died in a fire. I believe there was some question as to whether he may have set that fire on purpose. RIP
Sweetheart, that WHOLE SONG was double entendre! I've listened to MANY of them and Nina Simone's, Sugar in My Bowl, is legendary! Check it out! Thank you! I forgot about this one!
Oh the Old Grey Whistle Test was the best live music show EVER in the UK
Some of us are old enough to remember when Humble Pie formed. Ouch!!!
Just gotta do Small Faces "Tin Soldier" live video to see Steve Marriot at his peak in the 1960s. Oh, so worth it!
I can't figure out how to submit suggestions or if I have to donate to make suggestions, so I'll just throw this out there. I'm suggesting "ring on the Rain" by Jo Dee Messina, featuring Tim McGraw. Another recommendation that isn't country, "I Can't Hold Back" by Survivor, circa 1984. Thank you for your consideration.
The song is about interracial relationships... Or, about black coffee, some black tea .. you decide. 😊
Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton ...
I was living in the UK up until '67 and remember when Steve Marriott was in the Small Faces and Peter Frampton was in the Herd. I remember "Itchycoo Park" and "Tin Soldier" by the Small Faces, and "From the Underworld" by the Herd.
@@LonghopeBro-ju6jl Wow! they really had a different fashion sense back then. And check out a very young Peter Frampton.
The Herd (feat. Peter Frampton) - From The Underworld (1967)

@@SaneGrey952-yd6exlooks like clem clemson to me. This was after frampton left
@@gregm3406 I was referring to a young Frampton in the Herd.
there is an acoustic version of, For your love, by Humble Pie that is very good. With Mr. Frampton...
Check out Steve singing 5 Long years live in London 1985, really shows Steve talent, vocals and guitar.
My favorite! Yesssss
Check out Humble Pie: Live At the Forum...it's one of the best live albums ever and 30 Days In the Hole off their Smokin' album with an awesome vocal by Steve Mariott!
I had no idea Peter Frampton was in Humble Pie.
As mentioned below Mariott was rumored to be the first choice for Led Zeppelin but because execs considered Zeppelin to be experimental they told Page and others to keep their hands off because Steve Mariott was going to be a superstar.
Hey Sebs-love your reviews!!
Try some Florida Georgia Line w/luke Bryan
This is how we roll-this song gets stuck in your head or Sun Daze . Up beat country! 👍
My first concert❤
Humble Pie is my favorite version of Black Coffee but, Joe Bonamassa does an excellent cover of Black Coffee with Beth Hart belting out some fantastic vocals.
Peter Frampton was a talent, but I never understood his huge international appeal.
The girls seemed to like his looks when he was young!
Small Faces have a great back catalogue. Marriot I believe was considered before Robert Plant for the formation of Led Zeppelin.
Love Steve Marriot's voice!
Band Peter Frampton came from. I believe he started when he was 18.
Check OUT "FOR YOUR LOVE", "30 DAYS IN THE Hole" AND their 3 backup singers do a great version of the Beatles "Twist and Shout." Peter Frampton was in this band in the early days.
You might enjoy " Five Long Years " by Steve Marriott Packet of Three Live in London 1985.
Look up For your love! It’s 🔥🔥🔥Humble Pie 1970!
Love your channel
I agree. 30 days is a banger!
There’s a reactor out there somewhere who’s thinking , what…is The Old Grey Whistle test ?
i have a couple of their records and need to revist.
His skin is white but his soul is black, describes Steve perfectly.
Stevie's dog Seamus also featured on Pink Floyd's track of the same name.
While you're checking out Steve Marriott's band Humble Pie, don't forget he had another grorup called Small Faces, a song/video of pure blues - Five Long Years: th-cam.com/video/XMCgqjYA424/w-d-xo.html
This was filmed after Peter Frampton left to go solo. Peter wanted to be the front man and there just wasn't a chance for him as long as Steve was there. Steve was a natural front man with his history in acting. He had a Broadway type acting career as a teen, playing Oliver Twist. He came home one day, said he quit his acting job because he wanted to be a rock star instead. Anything with Steve Marriott is a must see. Humble Pie was featured on Midnight Special and they had The Blackberries with them. Their other major hit was I Don't Need No Doctor. Here's 30 Days from that special. th-cam.com/video/xvO8h1kZLQs/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUlMzAgZGF5cyBpbiB0aGUgaG9sZSB3aXRoIGJsYWNrYmVycmllcw%3D%3D
Before Humble Pie Steve was in The Small Faces. They had quite a bit of commercial success as well and it's where Robert Plant studied Steve. One song The Small Faces performed was clearly the predecessor to Whole Lotta Love. This is it and it's called You Need Lovin' th-cam.com/video/tp0jZ4BGuDw/w-d-xo.html
Watch the video of Marriott singing ''five long years'' he was a great guitar player as well.
5ft 4in of sheer power.
Way back you all know since I don't know when
See I got hungover before I was 10
You see my skin is white but my soul is black
So hot black coffee, that's where it's at
