Steve Marriott was incredible…snd so underrated. With small faces, humble pie and solo he consistently kicked ass!

You guys did do Humble Pie's Black Coffee. Steve was the lead singer in that band too. He started it after leaving Small Faces along with Peter Frampton. You also did Steve Marriott's 5 Long Years! He was a fantastic performer. Another Small Faces to check out is Itchykoo Park. So glad you guys are back! Great reactions!

Yess! check out Black Coffee. while your at it "30 Days in the Hole, Humble pie.

All or Nothing - one of the best rock-pop songs ever.

Incredible band, so much talent in each member.

This is one of the greatest and most enduring rock songs ever written.

P P Arnold was the side singer .... She was her own brilliant singing star. One of the first breakthrough black singers in England. First cut is the deepest - highly recommended song "Angel in the morning" is another she sings amazing

Her career as a solo artist happened in the UK, but she got her start as an Ikette with Ike & Tina Turner. I'm reading her autobiography, Soul Survivor, right now. Great stuff. Another KILLER tune by her is "If You Think You're Groovy," with this same band backing her up. They were labelmates on Immediate Records.

She was an Ikette too

One of my favourite bands Small Faces and the female singer PP. Arnold is worth checking out

Proof that good music brings people of all colors together. Please!

Steve Marriott!!!!! His voice and stage presence is always impressive.

A small piece of trivia (gossip) The female back up singer is PP Arnold who started as a back up singer for Ike & Tina Turner. Beautiful lady and very talented in her own right. PP has written: "Steve and I were lovers at this time, but he wrote this song for Jenny Rylance. She was the love of his life" It worked out for Steve as he finally caught Jenny after chasing her for 2 yrs - she was the girlfriend of Rod Stewart. They married in 1969. Other songs Steve wrote for Jenny were "Afterglow", "All or Nothing" (though he also told someone else he wrote it for her, LOL) and my favorite "The Autumn Stone". Sadly Jenny and Steve divorced after 5 years. PP has been very helpful to Steve's daughter Mollie, who calls PP her soul godmother. Mollie Marriott is also a very soulful singer, worthy to check out.

Notice how they have her in a lead singer role rather than a backing singer, I love how cool we are in Britain.

Thank you for doing this great one! Steve Marriot is one of the greatest vocalists ever, and he also wrote some great lyrics. 👍👍👍

Steve Marriot was a fantastic vocalist. Local to me where I grew up too. Here comes the nice is another great song.

The TRUE ModFather!! & The Beautiful Miss.P P Arnold!✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

How about that breakdown???? I freak every time after 50 years of listening. The most underrated song in rock history. It is magic and it was unique for its time. And the greatest singer of all time letting it rip and taking it down

Alrighty then, you hit Small Faces!! There's only been one Steve Marriott, but Ronnie Lane was a _killer_ bassist, Kenny Jones & Ian MacLagan on drums and keys filled them out. "All Or Nothing" or "Afterglow of Your Love" are fantastic tracks you ought to try next.

One of England's (London born) finest groups.The female singer, PP Arnold wasn't part of the group but was on the recording. She carved out her own successful career.

YES, YOU DO LOVE THIS SINGER !!! You Were very surprised by his voice when he sang "Black Coffee" with his second group Humble Pie, You also went nuts with Steve singing the blues classic "Five Long Years" with his last band "Packet of Three". Steve Marriott is considered by his peers, and many others to be the finest soul/rock singer Britain ever produced .Small Faces were only together a little over 3 years, but were the top Mod band of that era and were huge in Europe, though mostly unknown in the US as they never came over and only had two records on the radio at that time 1967/68 - Tin Soldier and Itchicoo Park. Small Faces are my favorite band (behind the Beatles) and Steve Marriott is my absolute rock hero - an unbelievably talented singer/guitaist/harmonica and keyboard player. He should have been a superstar, but never quite made the big fame and money due to VERY POOR management (got ripped off over & over), plus his self destructive ways He was an enigma, but very interesting man who sadly died at aged 44 in a accidental house fire. RIP Steve Marriott -Bless your soul. You will get lots of requests for Itchicoo Park because it is the only record most people in US know, but my favorites are the lesser known album cuts - so innovative, creative and uber talented these four young boys were. Robert Plant idolized Marriott and was greatly influenced by him I recommend you react to "You Need Lovin" Small Faces Plant copies vocal style and voice for "Whole Lotta Love"

Steve Marriott was a little guy but such a power house! 🔥❤️

Small Faces with Steve Marriott awesome! Super cute PP Arnold on backup vocals!

The female singer is Patricia Arnold otherwise known as P P Arnold. She came from Los Angeles and was a member of the Ikettes the backing singers for Ike and Tina Turner. She was signed to Andrew Loog Oldham's ( the first manager of The Rolling Stones) Immediate label, the same label The Small Faces were signed to. P P Arnold had hits with First Cut Is The Deepest (written by Cat Stevens, later covered by Rod Stewart) and Angel of the Morning. Her first album was produced by Mick Jagger, the second by Mick Jagger and Steve Marriott. Patricia later sang with The Beatmasters on Burn it Up in 1988. She is still recording and touring to this day.

Best thing for me is how much you guys really got into that tune. Makes me appreciate even more, I wonder if any-one has the talent these days to even cover that tune?

So very underrated and yet so very talented musicians, and the voice of Steve Marriot was awesome.

Try his live performance with Humble Pie doing "I'm Ready". Not the studio, the live version is incredible.

Well, he's voice is bloody marvellous, and the lady is absolutely gorgeous!. A lot of talent on that stage. 👏

This was around 1968. You might recognize Steve Marriott from Humble Pie. This was his first band. The lady is PP Arnold, guesting on backing vocals.

I have heard this with PP Arnold’s vocal upfront more so you could hear her amazing vocals better. She adds a lot of excitement to this incredible song. Look for it!

I love it. Your reaction to this was pretty much exactly how I felt when I first heard it. Watching you two brought me right back to it. Thank you!!!

its Steve Marriott!! Black coffee and five long years!!! hes a legend!!

Such a good singer ...one of the best

Holy craaaaap!!! Who’s suggestion was this?Brilliant!!!! Love this- - - how did I miss this back in the day?!? WOW Thank you…..

The year is 1967. The Small Faces were a London group but like many of the British groups from the 60s heavily influenced by American R&B and soul music. Backing vocals by PP Arnold, not a regular member of the group, but well-known on the UK music scene at the time as a backing singer and solo artist. Glad you enjoyed the song!

Steve Marriott later in Humble Pie also PP Arnold who sang First is the Deepest and Angel of the Morning!

Love Small Faces, man. Steve Marriott was so great with them. That soulful voice of his was so intense.

The Lady in the group is the beautiful P.P.ARNOLD ,She was guesting on this video....check out her version of "THE first cut is the deepest".

The TRUE Mod Father & The BEAUTIFUL Miss.Pp Arnold. Don’t Get Much Better Than This. PP Arnold Still Does Loads For The Soul Scene In The UK.✌🏻

P P . Arnold and Stevie Marriot were lovers and she was one of his Black Coffee references when he sang the song as lead singer of Humble Pie, along with one or 2 of the beautiful ladies singing backing on that track too, hence all the flirting during the performance! Naughty Stevie!

Yes, he was a charmer. Steve loved his Blackberries, and they loved hum. Vanetta Fields said that when she first met him, he dropped to his knees and kissed her hand out of respect of the fact she had sung backup to his hero Ray Charles. Vanetta said "Steve could be outrageous, but we loved him"

Can't believe you reacted to this. Love this track.

Watch PJ Arnold who sang with Tina Turner singing this as the lead singer in London on KZread. Steve Marriott who wrote this and sang it was like a brief blazing comet who unfortunately died at 44 in a house fire in Essex due to smoking in bed.

Small Faces a really great group. Awesome reaction guys.👍🤘

Small Faces....Best of the best!

Glad you liked it. East Londons finest

Faces was a reference to the 'mod" youth movement in UK. Well- known Mods were called Faces. The Mods loved Soul Music and Italian fashion.

One of the hidden gems of UK scene in the 60s

Now you're cookin' on gas!

Really good song! I've Never heard it before!

Steve Marriot had a huge voice. Shawn, you move your head like a bobble. Amazing.

Loved this reaction.

So amazing live band Vocals and guitar work best ever

The Small Faces were another great English band from the 60's. They had some great hits "Itchycoo Park", "Lazy Sunday", "All Or Nothing", "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" etc. In 1969 after lead singer/guitarist Steve Marriott left the group to form Humble Pie" & the remaining members of Small Faces were joined by Ronnie Wood (guitar) & Rod Stewart (lead vocals), both from the Jeff Beck Group, & the new line-up was renamed "Faces".

Yes ... Yes ... Yes ..... oe of my favorite British rock bands of the 1960's, and this is my favorite song by them ... a real killer ....

The lady wasn't "in the group". She's P.P. Arnold, who was on the same UK label as the Small Faces -- Immediate, run by the notorious Andrew Loog Oldham, former manager of the Rolling Stones. I guess P.P. couldn't get a recording contract in the U.S. so came to the UK to get some hits.

1968. Steve Marriott probably the most under appreciated white soul voice of the sixties. And Tin Soldier taken to another level with the inclusion of label mate P.P. Arnold on vocal. Ms Arnold a former Ikette became queen of the mods during the sixties with her releases on the Immediate label in the UK. Suggest you guys might check her superb version of First Cut is the Deepest sometime?

The Lady is American singer P.P Arnold. she had a relationship with the bands vocalist/guitarist and collaborated with the band a number of times. She had some minor hits of her own in the UK and enjoyed a long a varied career providing backing for many major artists.

Never mind, ya'll found it! Music with soul transcends any prejudices. Love it!

Great band, Steve Marriott is superb, from 1967 if i remember correctly, l still have the original 45rpm record i brought back then......

This was 1966. Steve Marriott, the singer, was only 19. He and PP Arnold, the girl singer, had a thing going on at the time. She wasn't in the band but she was his girlfriend. And a damn fine singer! Kenney Jones, the drummer, was only 18. Incredible!

They had a UK no 1 hit with " All or nothing"

Reminds me check out "One Tin Soldier" from a move, Billy Jack shocking ending to the song.

Two of the best singers ever

Brilliant band 4 talented musicians

I love this song and Lazy Sunday Afternoon. The best music was from the late 60’s and the early 70’s .

Steve best singer and frontman.

Steve Marriott lead singer who you reacted to, five long years and Black Coffee.

Can’t beat old rock❤

Usually billed as the small faces and PP Arnold check out her solo stuff amazing an American singer who came to live in the UK in the 60s

You guys should check out Ocean Colour Scene - Its a Beautiful Thing, also with PP Arnold but a fee decades later. I am sure you will love it ;)

You have reacted to Black Coffee; same guy. Yes the mid 60s.

This happens to be the studio version dubbed over the live performance video. The original video with original audio is out on YT, but in my opinion isn't anywhere as good as the studio version. Thanks for reacting to this great song.

Steve also sang in a three piece band called Packet Of Three. REALLY good. (Steve Marriotts Packet Of Three + interview) /music starts at 9.50

1967. Marriott was one of the first real "front man". The guy could do everything.

A Canadian band named Streetheart did a cover of this song.It was a pretty big hit back in the 80's. It's pretty good you should check it out

RIP Steve Marriot

The Lady was the Cute and Talented P P Arnold.

Hi Shawn and Mel, I hope you are having a nice Saturday Night! I never heard this group before, I really like them a lot, great pic. I was expecting it to be another song that was popular at the time called "One Tin Soldier", and was surprised when this one came on. Its a completely different song. The lead singer is great. His guitar riffs really reminded me of Brian Adams for some reason. Maybe Adams was inspired by him, he had a lot of hits in the 80's and 90's. Sure hope things are going better for you in Texas. Hang in there. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi... There, s another song,, thin soldier,, by the irish Band,, stiff little fingers,, from 1979....but,, check out :, die toten Hosen - mehr davon, live Rock am Ring, Hals und Beinbruch (long germ. Title, but See what crazy dangerous Thing the singer s did..) the Band is the most sucessful German Band After Scorpions +Rammstein... Enjoy. 🎸

They were jammin'!

You did pick up that the singer was the same Steve Marriott that sang "Black Coffee" with Humble Pie a few years later, right?

Whacha gonna do about it is my fave, Best 60's Mod band for me.

About time...

The legend that is Steve Marriott

Nice!!

After Steve Marriott left the Faces the three others Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenny Jones teamed up with two guys from Jeff Beck Group. Ron Wood (later Rolling Stones) and Rod Stewart and the band was renamed The Faces. Check out The Faces - Stay With Me Live

nice, your getting some fab requests

With P.P. Arnold. :) Ya gotta check out "Lazy Sunday" & "Itchycoo Park".

You guys need to check out the lady, PP Arnold.

You gotta do Natural Born Boogie, bloody marvellous 🌟

All my life I've listened to a cover of this song and thought it was the original, till just now lol. A Canadian band called "Streetheart" apparently covered this song back in 1980 ish. You guys might like Streetheart if you check them out, it's hard to find quality videos on youtube though. Cheers.

Jack White needs to cover this asap!!!

You both should do a reaction to the song One Tin Soldier Rides Away. You would both love the message of that song. It was a popular song in the 1970s and I believe it was in the movie Billy Jack which you both would probably like as well.

The most excelllent Steve Marriott. Led Zepplin wanted him as the singer before Robert Plant came along. Try Small faces singing "You need loving" to hear the similarities.

I Believe To My Soul by Humble Pie is a must.

Not your fault as Small Faces never made it over to the US with the rest of the British Invasion bands of that era. So, we in the US only got to hear Itchicoo Park, which while a nice pop song, does not really show how hot they really were. They were huge in Britain and Europe. Steve was a big teen idol on the covers of magazines and teeny boppers pinned his photos on their walls and mauled him any chance they got. That's why he quit the band (among other reasons), he wanted to be taken seriously for his talent, not his good looks. Like you, I only discovered them as an adult (I'm 67) and now they are my favorites. Search on KZread, there are lots of documentaries, videos and audio recordings. You won't regret it it I'm sure. Steve's later band Humble Pie is also great, and they did tour the US. I was a fan and owned their album Smokin when I was in high school.

In reality they had normal size faces. for something a bit...off the wall...try their song Happy Days Toy Town from the album Ogdens Nutgone Flake.

The both of you will simply love a song by Leon Haywood " I wanna do something freaky to you" to this day one is not able to get on CD nobody in the industry has engineered this on CD I don't know wht but a real early 70s grooven song.
