RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Small Faces (SSC)

Had Peter Frampton been allowed into the Small Faces, we never would have seen Rod and Ronnie take Marriott's place in the band, and I believe Frampton would have been an excellent choice for the band. But instead Small Faces lost their leader and Humble Pie, one of the first super groups in rock, was formed. I actually liked them better than Marriott's version of Small Faces, yet Humble Pie, other than their first single and then the excellent live single of "I Don't Need No Doctor", was their only real big hits with Frampton in the band. After he left HP, that was when they actually had their 2 biggest albums (at least in the U.S.), along with one of them containing one of my favorite drug songs, "30 days in the Hole", which was on their biggest selling Lp Smokin'. Funny how that all worked out, the one guy he wanted in his band, leaves, and his band then puts out their 2 best albums directly after that.

Marriott was none too happy that a novelty song like "Lazy Sunday", great as it was, ended up being the big hit from that album.

That happy go lucky song was good, but not great, and sounds like it would have fit in on well the Stones TSMR LP, which came out a year earlier. Marriott and 2 of the Small Faces did play on that Stones album too, and you got to wonder if TSMR influenced them some on that song. Although that kind of song was their thing, so perhaps it was Marriott's old band, and not the Beatles, who were what really influenced the Stones on TSMR??
