@@wanabepetegreen1132 - I would agree with you, if I were on drugs or had no clue what I was talking about. Then I’d say you have a valid point. But in sobering reality, I’m afraid I must be on the Internet.
This is an absolutely soul stirring clip! Steve Marriot was the real deal! He belongs in the Hall of Fame as both a member of the Small Faces and Humble Pie!
U know for people that know there music they were never underrated just not known enough by the wider public but for me probably the best soul voice to ever come from these shores
My God they were good. With PP Arnold a supergroup. Why is exuberance so rare in recorded music, this cat was freakin' LOVING being a rock and roll star!
Mariott has this unmisstakable voice that gives a special magic to whatever he sings, and yes this is one of those tracks that hes made sound fantastic.
this shows the influence between the 2 countries, the uk and the us. steve was an awesome singer. the small faces succeeded in the uk, but failed in the u.s.. however Humble Pie will be always remembered by us. a great band, singer, writer, and performer. one of a kind. rip steve and greg.
never knew they covered this..wow..fantastic..once again Steve knocks it out..i love his range and rough edge...these guys were stellar...eff you HOF voters..
Small Faces, surely the best ever British band not to be a hit in the US? Steve Marriott never realised just how good he really was, very sad and sadly missed.
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.
One actually got thru here in the States ... Itchycoo park and their Ogden Nut Gone Flake record did well... Damn shame... Radio was reluctant to play them
I saw Humble Pie back in the 70s and Steve played the hell out of his guitar and harmonica and put out the most incredible live singing performance i ever heard
Hello - I wish Steve was still around. I saw the Small Faces in 1965 - I was 15 - at Taunton, Somerset, England. At the end I rushed outside and was feet away as Steve and the rest got into their car and I watched Steve in the back as the car pulled away. Never forgotten, have all the singles and some LP's have listened to them all my life - I am now 58 - I still miss Steve Marriott!!!! Alison
Bombastic, Who-like treatment of a folk song. One of those covers that stands up to and even surpasses the original. Not too many of those. Great musicians, all 4 of them
I keep coming back to this cover....one of my ever-favourites. These small islands have influenced the world with the brilliance of its musicians. Steve Marriot especially and the Small Faces are up there with the best.
This is the first time I have heard this version of one of my favourite songs of the genre and it's terrific. That decade was so rich with talent - not like now. Stevie what a singer.
In my opinion one of the most under rated groups ever, Ogdens Nut Gone Flake round album cover hooked my eye, the music changed my mind , and turned me ON , that was early seventies , their music is like a drug to me , when down, i listen to it and i'm on top again . Many Thanks to the Small Faces.
Howler Monkey .......I adored pretty much everything Steve did but imo, Ogden’s is a rare gem. So often I read detrimental comments regards Stanley Unwin’s “gobbledegook” story-telling but I love everything about the album. It’s great fun so I can well understand it lifting your spirits.
Whoever it was who commented that Plant should have sung this 20 years ago, I'm not sure it would have made any difference. Robert Plant whilst a powerful voice, simply didn't have that which Marriott did - SOUL, beautiful SOUL. RIP Steve and Ronnie.
+thehanterman1..... Seagull, by the "Bad Company" sound a bit like this....this is of course the original....Bad Company, in fact, imitated them in many of their songs rendered by them.
I remember in the 80s I went to school with this really cool white kid and father was this hippy lawyer who spent a lot time traveling but he allowed us to listen to his records. My friend and I smoked a joint and he played this song and man was I blown away. Really miss the 80s it was such a cool time.
One of the greatest mysteries of all time - how the hell did Stevie Marriott hit those high notes??!! A definite case of the shiver up the spine - gawd bless yer Stevie!!
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....I adore Steve's voice and Ronnie's harmonies were beautiful. Steve oozed soul, a most unique voice. Apart from Plant and Rodgers, there was of course Roger Daltrey. All great, powerful rock singers, but then there was Stevie. I know his voice takes me places the others never did. RIP boys.
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.
ABSOLUTELY 'THE' BEST version i've ever heard of this great song. Vocals are fabulous love it .Would give some elses right arm to have current music like this.TREMENDOUS.
@ MrJayGossman......Oh, you put it perfectly. This man's incredible, soulful voice takes me right "into the moment". I too have spent well over 40 years listening to this and so much other wonderful music, but it's Stevie Marriott's voice that wins every time, hands down. RIP Steve and Ronnie.
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
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'.
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!
Oh, how love Steve Marriot!!! I loved being able to keep up with his strong notes as a teenager!!! Yeaaaahyeaaaaahhhh from one of his Humble Pie tunes got my full attention!! I still remember when I discovered he was the same singer as on Itchycoo Park, I was just giddy over making the connection!
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.
Never heard this before! Big fan of The Faces. Steve Marriott used to live near me in rural Essex. Saw Tim Hardin perform the song at Lincoln Folk Festival 1971.
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!
@ThatMiserableCat You said it I still get choked up when I here most of the Small Faces and Humble Pie music. Steve have more soul in his pinky finger than the performers today. He and the Faces should be in the rock and roll hall of fame. They have been overlooked for to long and its high time that this generation got to hear what real music sounds like.
And Robert Plant did this same tune many moons after...a very excellent and haunting rendition of this classic tune. Plant idolized Steve...and this rendition by SF is very tasty...I only wish I could have seen Marriott live.
I also want to say thank you for posting this amazing music. I have been on a marathon the last 3 days now listening to Steve Marrioet, and reading about him and the members of his different band. I always loved Humbble Pie but the rest I knew nothing about. An aside on his death: my father died in a house fire Apr 19 1991 Easter Sunday morning. Sad way to go. Thanks again
I just had my housemate listen to this song, it is golden. As we shift into the new paradigm may we remember where we came from and where we are going. God Bless You theseeker23 for posting this masterpiece by Tim Hardin. The world is a beautiful place!
60's soul cannot be outdone. This version is outstanding.
You can't fake passion and soul. Marriott may have been the best in the rock era at displaying that. Damn what a talent.
this guy was amazing
Is he the last one in this photo, in the jacket?
@@JohnnyCatFitz Yes he is! From L-R it's Kenney Jones, Mac (Ian McLagan), Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott!
Great drumming by Kenney Jones
THE voice of voices.
Absolutely❤👍
This is the best cover version of any song ever - no argument!
Kenney a bit heavy for this song.
Steve Marriott was the greatest lead singer of all time, and the template for all future rock vocals.
The best band ever.
Screechy, and no variation of approach from one song to another.
This song doesn't work as a screecher.
Don't talk silly

R.I.P, Steven Peter Marriott!There will never be another one like you!
What a singer and musician was Steve Marriot,after Small Faces he lead another great band Humble Pie
Marriott and Lane so underrated total genius sadly missed but never forgotten RIP
U know for people that know there music they were never underrated just not known enough by the wider public but for me probably the best soul voice to ever come from these shores
Steve Marriott what a voice and a great frontman Very underrated
My God they were good. With PP Arnold a supergroup.
Why is exuberance so rare in recorded music, this cat was freakin' LOVING being a rock and roll star!
One of THE best ever vocal performances for a 3 minute song - no kidding!
Steve's voice gives. me. chills.
The small faces one of the best band in the world
Goosebumps.! Over thirty years I've loved this tune. Only the S.Faces version causes goosebumps.
Steve Marriot absolutel legend, so wish original Small Faces carried on.
the greatest rock singer of the 60's and 70's what a voice
Mariott has this unmisstakable voice that gives a special magic to whatever he sings, and yes this is one of those tracks that hes made sound fantastic.
What an awesome vocal performance by Marriot.
amazing no less
Lichtenstein1961 Unrivalled
What a voice this man had. The era has to include this great band.

they never needed America we loved them fucking quality band
Robin LLanelli It was down to shockingly bad management they didn't smash the US market

Had the honour of seeing the Small Faces live at St. Albans Market Hall in 1965, absolutely brilliant. RIP Steve & Ronnie
I saw Humble Pie back in the 70s and Steve played the hell out of his guitar and harmonica and put out the most incredible live singing performance i ever heard
was at rockin the filmore east
What a version!!! Marriott=Legend
Super song!

This is untouchable... can't get enough! Voice and drums are phenomenal..Incomparable.
Try the Bobby Darin version.
Marriot has a very distintive voice and no one has come even close to it.
fantastic version of a great song.
Rods been trying for years,he's made a good living being a Stevie Marriot cover singer😉
Best voice in Rock n Roll. Literally.
Bombastic, Who-like treatment of a folk song. One of those covers that stands up to and even surpasses the original. Not too many of those. Great musicians, all 4 of them
Pure genius the whole group no one could touch them! 😊
Reminds me of Joe Cocker
I keep coming back to this cover....one of my ever-favourites. These small islands have influenced the world with the brilliance of its musicians. Steve Marriot especially and the Small Faces are up there with the best.
This is the first time I have heard this version of one of my favourite songs of the genre and it's terrific. That decade was so rich with talent - not like now. Stevie what a singer.
"Black Napalese, it's got ya weak in the knees" , Marriott, we need another one!
Diddnt know about this version, WOW!!
Snap.... Remind's me a bit, vocally of Leon Russell.
What a song!! Long live The Small Faces!!
In my opinion one of the most under rated groups ever, Ogdens Nut Gone Flake round album cover hooked my eye, the music changed my mind , and turned me ON , that was early seventies , their music is like a drug to me , when down, i listen to it and i'm on top again .
Many Thanks to the Small Faces.

listened to these witn my dad with my kids now my grandson asks to play them . sign of good music never gets old
Steve could sing the phonebook and it would still be full of soul!
Steve Marriott could sing the ABC's and have a million seller!
Steve made this song his - His talent can’t be matched to this day -The Small Faces were the greatest talent of all time
What a voice!
Ohhhh was für ein super Gänsehaut- Song ! Danke Theseeker 23
Marriott's vocals are awesome, must be one of the best front men of all time.
The Small Faces and Steve in particular are fucking amazing! They were several years ahead of their time in terms of their total sound. Fantastic!
Steve Marriott .......there will never be another. How blessed we all are , our generation to have his haunting voice play through our heads.
Simply incredible. This took my breath away.
IMHO...The greatest version, EVAH!!!!
Heaven Rocks On With Steve's Beautiful, Soulful Voice. His voice gives me chills.
Most of the comments on here refer to SM's awesome vocals and how could you not agree.
Whoever it was who commented that Plant should have sung this 20 years ago, I'm not sure it would have made any difference. Robert Plant whilst a powerful voice, simply didn't have that which Marriott did - SOUL, beautiful SOUL. RIP Steve and Ronnie.
Hear hear
Undoubtedly the best rock and roll vocalist ever IMNSHO
Awesome , Steve really rips it and with such feeling
What a voice!!!
A small guy with such an amazing soulful voice. metapenguin......you don't know what you are talking about !
If Marriot's vocals on this don't make your hair stand on end you are clearly not human!
My sentiments exactly......absolutely perfect !
Love him SO much always ❤
and Tin Soldier should have been the biggest hit of 67
Yes, a great rock and roll voice!
And here...
th-cam.com/video/NNRuASgNV6Q/w-d-xo.html
That voice just cuts through me like a knife
One of few songs that you could say is better than the original. What a voice and what a presence this band had.
+thehanterman1 totally agree Marriott is phenomenal
+thehanterman1..... Seagull, by the "Bad Company" sound a bit like this....this is of course
the original....Bad Company, in fact, imitated them in many of their

John Smith Yes. Johnny and June Carter Cash
Pitch perfect ALLWAYS a real one of a kind
dwight yoakam and allison krause is my favourite version
The Small Faces were one of the best bands of the 60s. Great sound

My friend and I smoked a joint and he played this song and man was I blown away. Really miss the 80s it was such a cool time.
One of the greatest mysteries of all time - how the hell did Stevie Marriott hit those high notes??!!
A definite case of the shiver up the spine - gawd bless yer Stevie!!
This band was criminally ignored here in the U.S. by the music press. Marriott was one of the greats, a shame he never received his due.
Best version I've EVER heard anywhere.
Steve Marriott best 60s vocalist by a long mile.
Superbio
What a voice! Beyond words!
Steve Marriott = One of the most underrated soul singers and Small Faces most overlooked band. Sit, listen and learn children!
Excellent version, one of my faves.
Listening again Steve's amazing voice❤👍.
Kick ass vocals... awesome.
a true legend taken before his time. Steve Marriot and the small faces are as important today as they were in the 60s.
i just love this song and cant stop listening to it :-)
@Lichtenstein 1961......Oh yeah, Stevie Marriott could belt them out. Was always one of my favourite vocalists. RIP Steve.

Magic together.
Can't beat Steve Marriott for best rock and soul voice coming out of England. What a voice!
Very good version !
Marriott could defoe sing the socks off Robert Plant........................I love Zepplin, but this guy can sing !!.
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
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.

+old man of oy old man of joy best music in the world
I think he has a point. Led Zep did the whole mythical thing whereas SF did Ogdens

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