Gotta be in the top ten rock love songs ever written... Marriott and Lane are legends and PP is gorgeous

After more than 40 years still gives me goose bumps

Possibly the greatest rock song ever recorded....to this very day.

Loved the Small Faces back in the day, Steve Marriotts voice was just the best. Loved Humble Pie ,some of his best vocals were with that band, very sad ending to his life. Steves daughter Mollie Marriott is touring UK this year with Rick Wakemans Xmas show and I'm sure she'll be belting it out like her dad.looking forward to the show. Also not forgetting the other members of the small faces ,all talented musicians. RIP to the ones departed😢❤❤❤

The greatest lead singer voice of all time. He truly felt the music. RIP Sweet Steve.

My ex-husband knew Steve. He said that Steve's voice was truly so loud that he had to sing further away from his microphone and his personal energy was really highly strung. You are witnessing the true Steve Marriott at his best in this video.

The inventor of “attitude”

Marriott was always a treat to see live. He was about 5 foot 3 or so and when he opened his mouth it was UNBELIEVABLE the power that came out. Saw for first time live 1970, Cleveland Public Hall, Humble Pie, and just about every time he came thru Cle thereafter. R.I.P. Steve.

Born in South London in 1951 I had the absolute pleasure of living through this never to be equalled time of kick ass music, rocking out to these fantastic live bands every weekend at Streatham Locarno, Purley Orchid, Surrey Rooms and if you wanted more soul it was The Ram Jam. I knew a great band from Manchester in the early 70's called Wide Open and got very close to their vocalist from Salford called Billy Simpson (very Joe Cockerish voice) and he told me of the time he first saw these guys at Belle View and how the enormous wall of sound and talent blew everyone away. R.I.P. Stevie, Ronnie and Mac, so fucking proud!

This music will never die. Particularly when you hear what’s on offer these days.. 😊

This song is the essence of the small faces Stevie Marriott was never better on this track just brilliant

Can´t believe it was more than 45 years ago...the song was breathtaking then...and still is now!

I was just a kid and played this song over and over. Could'nt get enough of it. And now after so many years it's stil perfect!

Got to be one of the best rock tunes ever written

One of my absolute favorite songs of all time. So much energy and power. Even though this clip is mimed, it perfectly demonstrates Steve and his charisma. After seeing this, I wanted to be like Steve.

The way this song ends still gives me chills. RIP Mariott. One of the greatest ever.

Steve Marriott. Wow is all. just Wow. Whole band killed it!

One of my fav songs ever. I was 16 when this came out. My best friend bought me the 45. ( A small vinyl disk that cost 5 bob, 25 pence) . I played it so much that he could not take anymore and scratched the life out of it! Still one one of my all time great songs.

Fantastic one of the best tracks ever.Steve Marriott was a genius

If this ain't the best ever I have no idea what is.

Remember so good when this cames out I was so impressed, I'm 65 still impressed.

joe smith why is that Joe? I grew up with Small Faces, Kinks, Stones, Animals etc. It was widely recognised that Steve Marriott had one of the best voices. Breaking up with the rest of the band was his downfall. I understand that Keith was keen on Steve joining The Stones, but Mick vetoed it, nowing that Steve couldn’t remain in the background. Small Faces songs are brilliant.

My favourite song when I was young, I loved it, still today, wonderful.

I’m from Chicago, Illinois, smack dab in the middle of the USA, and I happen to agree with you about English music. You have to go by generalizations, rather than going down the rabbit hole of all the specifics, but to me, English music is defined by more color, greater complexity and orchestration, maybe cleaner, often more melodic. American music is characterized by less polish, more emotion, more optimism, less color. Again, gross generalizations, and I’m probably not being very articulate here. A further caveat is that these comments fly in the face of what Tin Soldier represents. What could be more raw or powerful than this tune. Here are examples of the differences between US and UK music: Jefferson Airplane doing Plastic Fantastic Lover, live, versus Elton John doing Captain Fantastic.

Very sad to hear of Ian McLagans passing (aged just 68). This is my all time favourite Small Faces song. Fantastic song driven by awesome keyboard playing from Mac

You just cannot play this track just once,especially with one of the best intro's ever.I'm on my forth play,before zipping off to The Universal,probably another few plays,then Lazy Sunday and Donkey Rides.No wonder it takes so long to get through the Small Faces catalogue.Interviews with Steve show that he was just one of the lads.A remarkable man and talent.Sorely missed.

I LOVE the raw emotion in everything about him in this video♥ So makes the story behind it very foolishly romantic and intense.

Peter Frampton sent me here..."I can't believe this but Ian Mclagan, or Mac as we know him, has passed away from a stroke he had on Tuesday. He was a dear friend from "Small Faces" and then "Faces" with Rod Stewart, Ronnie Lane, Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones. At one point Mac was going to be in Humble Pie. He was an incredible keyboard player with an ocean of soul in reserve at all times. He also played with the Stones as well as Dylan and Bruce. Mac wrote the book on how a Hammond organ and Wurlitzer piano should be played in a rock band. Listen to "Tin Soldier" by the Small Faces! I will miss him terribly as all who were lucky enough to know him will too. Good bye old friend. I'll be seeing you .... RIP" ` Peter Frampton (Facebook post on 12 /4/ 2014)

I was so sad when he died in the house fire, I snuck into the top rank in Sheffield to see them preform I think it was 1966, he had a brilliant voice RIP Steve.

i was the very proud owner of this '59 pink Les Paul Special for a few years after swapping a sunburst Telecaster for it with Steve ( in 1967 i think). A great guy, a great guitar, a great band, and just great to find this video after 51 years.

What a fucking song. How many songs can truly stand repeat plays? This one no problem every day for the rest of my life. Absolute classic.

First heard this group in the middle sixties when I was 17 and a junior mechanic in the Navy, It was itchycoo park and I was so impressed with these guys and guess what, 58 years later, they still remain the best rock group of all time,

Incredible!!!!

The energy from the Small Faces is exilerating my adrenaline is swirling

BRILLIANT JUST BRILLIANT!!! Ageless classic!

That song just does something to me. So brilliant, they just don't make em like that anymore, and never will again.

R,I,P Ian McLagan another Legend gone but your music lives on.

Stevie & Pat with Tin Soldier. Doesn't get any better than that!

When I found out about Mac's death a week ago I broke out in tears and cried for an hour... I'm not even sure why, but he was always my very favorite member. He just seemed to be such a cool, friendly and lovable person, and easily one of the best keyboardists who ever lived.

+John6yt ¡¡YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD!! ¿Do you know why? Because, unlike most other bands (even the better ones), The Small Faces DO NOT HAVE A MEDIOCRE SONG in all their catalogue. Everything they did, I mean EVERYTHING AT ALL, is VERY GOOD. Their worst songs are good, and their best ones.....¡¡¡¡¡Oh, God!!!! I can´t even begin to tell you! But I´m sure that, if you started listening to their material, you are already finding out what I mean, ¿Aren´t you?

In my view, the most perfect pop song ever recorded. Tight, vocally original, and with a relentless driving beat. Plus the beautiful PP.

Upset i missed some of these songs growing up. This is pure talent and beauty.

1967. It doesn’t get any better than this.

My favourite song, from the moment Marriott shouts, come on! I was hooked, I jumped out of my seat and stood by the radio with the volume turned up. I went and bought Ogden's, I bought a song book and learned to play it on my guitar, I raved about it so much that a lot my friends started to listen them, recently I got a 19 year old co worker hooked. Sadly I didn't know much about them until Ronnie died and there was a tribute to him on the radio, I did have an excuse though as I was only born in '67 the summer of love. 😀

One of the best songs of the 60 s.

High school the first time I heard this song. Gives me very unique feeling of nostalgia. Not to mention a not so great reminder of how old I am now.

Excellent..my nostalgia.
