The way he and the sisters are vibing is what makes this performance special.

After Janis, Steve Marriot was the most soulful voice in rock music. You should do 30 Days In The Hole and anything from his old band, Small Faces.

Steve was an extremely talented guy who passed to soon. Steve was influenced by black American soul RnB music. At a young age he had a large collection of rare Soul RnB discs from the states where the influence came from. He lived just up the the road from me in Manor Park East London UK.

The wonderful Steve Marriott. You must listen to his live version of Tin Soldier when he was in the group before Humble Pie, The Small Faces. Steve had one of the best rock voices of all time.

Steve Marriott is a British Born Rock/Blues singer and guitarist form England. He started out in 1966 with a band called "The Small Faces," A few years later, he formed a Rock /Blues Band (this one in the video) called Humble Pie. Great soulful voice. One of the best voices ever. Steve passed away a while ago.

He also played the Artful Dodger in the stage musical Oliver as a child. So he appears on the album of the show, recorded at Abbey Road in 1960.

In the late 60s and 70s Humble Pie is one of the great bands that were changing the rock music scene by using different instruments and recording variations to build on most of the bands of the time that acknowledge that they were all big fans of mostly american blues musicians from the 50s and early 60s along with bands like ZZ Top, Moody Blues, Procol Harum, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Canned Heat, Buffalo Springfield, Cream and Jefferson Airplane

You are listening to an absolute legend! Steve had one of the greatest voices in the history of rock and roll! He was The Artful Dodger in the musical "Oliver". He went on to form The Small Faces, and then Humble Pie. Peter Frampton played guitar with them for a time before embarking on a hugely successful solo career. Steve was a rather small man but he had a giant voice. The blues influence on young people from across the pond in the 60's can't be underestimated. They took " our" music, inserted some of their own vibe, and brought it back to us. We have called it the "British Invasion" ever since!

When in the 60s in the US, puppy songs (Anka, Boone etc) and folk music replaced Rock N Roll, a large group of skinny white kids in the UK (Rolling Stones, Who, Beatles, Animals, Small Faces, Yardbirds etc) were drooling listening to US black blues and soul music. Even Hendrix went to the UK first and later came back to the US as a star. And these groups paved the way for a new wave of blues based rock bands in the US, like CCR, Allman Brothers Band, ZZ Top etc.

Steve Marriott _was_ really all that. "Tin Soldier" or "All or Nothing" by Small Faces, and "30 Days in the Hole" by Humble Pie would be GREAT follow-ups for you! (Also, Marriott as a kid was the original Artful Dodger in the stage musical "Oliver.")

Best Voice in Rock Pop Ever. Steve Marriott. Happy saw him live. Small Faces, Humble Pie. Have all records.

OMG... Good ol' Humble Pie!

I request this from every reactor I follow.It is such fun watching people's faces when he (Steve Marriott) opens his mouth.I had to rewind so I could focus on one,and then the other.The man was absolute fire.The ladies singing with him are called The Blackberries,and back in the day,they were THE ACCOMPANYING SINGERS to have if you wanted to get anywhere.

I'm glad you appreciated Steve as much as I do. He never disappointed. Still love the man.

"my skin is white but my soul is black"....R.I.P., Steve

Steve would be thrilled you thought he was a brother. He had sooo much soul it was scarey! For more East London's finest blue eyed soul/rnb", I suggest Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, truly another brother. You won't be disappointed I PROMISE and I never break my promises when it comes to something as serious as music. Start with Black Magic Woman, Man of the World, the first part of Oh Well (and Part 2 if you want!) Albatross, and just go from there.. you won't be sorry. Also for epic Steve Marriott try All or Nothing, Stay With Me or 30 Days in the hole. You are welcome; love your stuff and you. Love peace & music from East Coast of England. xx

OMG! Probably the best reaction anyone could have with this SURPRISING voice coming at you.

Seeing Stevie live was always a super thrill. Like Stevie who's skin is white, our souls are Black. BlackBerries knew, know that. Live at the Filmore double album is a MUST have. Seeing it live doesn't compare to the albums.

These guys were the first concert I went to (16-17), I was hooked I have seen about 50 top name bands in concert. These guys were amazing, can't forget that Peter Frampton was on the second guitar. Loved the look on your faces when Steve started singing. Their song "30 days in the hole" is a good one worth a reaction.

That is his voice. Outstanding.

He is sure for real. He is from London and started out in the mid 1960s with a band called ' the small faces ' . They were all teenagers when they started out and they had a lot of hits, try Tin Soldier.

Love this reaction for Humble Pie! One of the best reactions I've seen.

Yes his voice does sound like fresh ground coffee!! I don't know that I would say that he was saying his skin is white and his soul is black, but I will say that he's got groove in his soul that he was just born with! In '73 Humble Pie was mine and my girlfriend's favorite band in high school. He and Peter Frampton blew my mind then, and still blows my mind today!! Thank you for your video. I'm a fan! 🎸🎹🥁🎶

My favorite band ❤ I get goosebumps every time I listen to this jam. Thanks for the share ❤✌️

"He SOUNDS like some freshly ground black coffee" -- Steve would have loved that.

I love y’all’s reactions to this Your faces are show how amazing this song is

Yes!! I am so glad you did this one! I know I wasn't the only person to request it, but I knew you'd be blown away. I never get tired of seeing people's faces when they hear this for the first time. Great reaction! 😊💜

ONE of the best voices in MUSIC...RIP Steve Marriott.. Check out also the small faces.. YOU WILL LOVE THEM.

Yeah, Steve Marriott had a very unique voice. Humble Pie's "30 Days in the Hole" is one of my favorites. But I LOVE this video because of the way Steve and the "Blackberries" (back-up singers) were flirting and kind of playing off of one another! I love this video.

Spot on guys.... Whites can be black as long as they feel it.... and he FEELS it... White English guy from London and he just feels Black soul. Peace to you both.... I love the way they were all grooving. I'm such an old guy that I can remember seeing this the first time on my TV back in 1973... I was 20.

Well that was just great!! Smiled the whole way through

Steve loved his Blackberries, and they truly loved him, too.

I’m a huge Humble Pie fan When they came through for the Smokin’ tour, they had this unknown glitter trio named LaBelle to open for them. That’s right, Patti LaBelle opened for Humble Pie!!! SPECTACULAR CONCERT!!!

Unfortunately, Steve Marriott died in a house fire. With Humble Pie, he did express a lot of soul, being a fan of James Brown and Muddy Waters. Before he joined them, he was with the Small Faces. One of my favorite songs with the Faces is "Itchycoo Park," which featured more of a psychedelic pop sound, typical of the late British Invasion than with the later harder soul sound of Humble Pie.

One of my all time favorites.

30 Days in the Hole is their biggest hit, but I Wonder is his very best Blues performance - slow and deliberate smoky blues. In fact is off the album “Smokin”. You will see why!

Little Stevie Marriott!!!! Amazing voice!! You guys rock for featuring this classic!!!!!!!! Check out I don't need no doctor from their album rocking the Filmore. Greatest live rock album ever made. I was in grade 7 back in 1970 or was it 1971? You will totally flip after you hear their version. God bless both of you!! Great channel!!!! 😀❤️❤️

Finally making it to the best of Steve Marriott!

And the best thing is Marriott was such a tiny fella. The voice of a (soul) giant coming out of a a skinny 5ft4 body!!!! Unbelievable talent!

Love Stevie and Humble Pie, natural born boogie is my fave tune but blimey The Small Faces was magnificent, there was even a stage show about them, East End boys making magic music, Itchycoo Park and What you gonna do about it are bloody good ⭐

Live at the Filmore! Potentially one of the best live albums ever recorded.

From 65 to 74. Very special time in music children. Everyone mixed Rock and roll with the blues, Country Soul a little jass.! Try Highway 61 By Johnny Winter!🤠✌️🆒🇺🇸🇬🇧🐎

Glad you guys enjoyed that. It was the music of my youth....Six years before this performance with Humble Pie , Steve's previous band the Small Faces brought out probably their best single in December 1967. "Tin Soldier"...It featured the great beautiful soul lady, PP Arnold ,who had been one of Ike and Tina Turner's Ikettes before she jumped ship and stayed in England .The video of that is powerful and dazzling too. All the UK and Irish bands were influenced by American blues and soul music in the early 1960s and Stevie was one guy who although small in stature, was so good that he in turn influenced Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant. As you can see ,soul and blues knows no colour.It's all good See Stevie and PP rocking it out here...it makes me feel , all these years later ,like i'm fifteen again!!! kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKqLttaxj7PegNI.html

The Song was originally recorded by Ike & Tina Turner , Written by Tina in 1972. He totally killed it!

The astonishment is priceless!

I really like the Backup singers the Blackberries, they really helped set the tempo. The singers looked like they were really grooving to Stevie's voice too.

Steve Marriot was a supremely gifted vocalist unfortunately he lived a troubled life of drugs, poverty, homelessness and his eventual death at only 42.

One of my favorite live performances

I love Humble Pie 😍

when he mentions Steve Marriot being the 'definitive artful dodger' he is referring to Steve's first role as a youngster doing Oliver Twist play. You realise his introduction is the same person of his comments as a young man with the big boofy hair and bucky teeth at the end of the video Vanetta fields is the middle backing singer, she would have some stories to tell, look her up in biography, so many artists as a backing singer and ended up in Australia with a more long standing relationship with the great John Farnham, great singer great voice would love to see an in depth interview of her life as a Child in america and to who and how she worked with so many well known estrablished artist and to her final stage in Australia. She is must get for interviewing in to , even just for Music History. Amazing women. Please do it Vanetta!

Definitely need to follow the 30 Days in the Hole. It's a must!

The look on their faces when Steve starts to sing…..nuff said Xx

Such a great song and performance.

Steve Marriott is the lead singer of Humble Pie, he also was in a group called Small Faces, and they had a hit song called "Itchycoo Park", another hit Humble pie had was "30 Days In The Hole".

Happy to see you guys do Steve Marriot and Humble Pie, most will not notice the guitar player on the end with blond hair, that would be Peter Framton (Do You Feel Like I Do). Real '60s blues came from listening to albums, and not just the hit songs, like Rare Earth, an allbum song of theirs is an oldie but still hard core Blues version of Tobacco Road.

He was using a special technology. It wasn't a Vocalizer, it was a Blackilizer. :-)

Steve Marriott was a child actor as The Artful Dodger in the original Oliver!

I love this song. I start my day with it.

I LOVE to watch first time reactions to Steve Marriott. The look on your face when he opened his mouth the first time is priceless! Steve would have loved to hear you compare him to James Brown James and Ray Charles were Steve's heroes. Try "I Wonder" from Humble Pie you will love them.

Saw em 5 times and there was brown folk, beige folk, Asian folk, pick a color and type AND THERE WERE NO FIGHTS! JUST DANCIN AND GROOVING TO THE GROOVE. WHAT COLOR'S TALENT? Those chick can SANG! So can Steve as you can hear. And he plays guitar TOO! FUCK RACISM!

I'm always thrilled when anyone discovers Humble Pie! This was the 1st band I loved at the age of 12 or 13, way back in the 70s! If you dig Steve Marriott, check out what he did with the Small Faces, back in the 1960s!

30 days in the hole. He's got some chords!

Steve Marriot was singing like that in the band Small Faces in the mid-60s and even before that. He could turn any song into something special.

That's him and so, so very real...legit.
