Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on RUclips, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on RUclips. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on RUclips, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.
If you enjoy this video and my reactions make sure you subscribe to the channel, like the video and comment down below which video you would like to see me react to next.

Yay, early Steve Marriott, a great front man! He and Peter Frampton went on to form Humble Pie. Steve inspired Robert Plant. The Small Faces took their name as every member was under 5'5". When Steve left, Rod Stewart and Ron Wood joined. Them being 6 footers, they dropped Small from the name and evolved into The Faces. Steve started as a Broadway actor and had a career, mostly playing the Artful Dodger but as a teenager, he came home and announced he was gonna be a rock star so he quit acting then.
The singer is the great Steve Marriott, who had maybe the best voice in Rock music. We lost Steve a while back. Great talent, and formed the Band "Humble Pie."
This is a song about a park (a real place) in London, where they would skip school, take LSD and get high. Itchycoo Park is a real place. I believe this song came out in the summer of 1967. Psychedelic, Hippies, Drugs, and Flower children all began in 1967. Dubbed "The Summer of Love."
Steve Marriott! One of the best.
check out Humble pie song.....Black coffee...lead singer here features Steve Marriot..The same guy!
One of the many good songs from those great 60's.
Try lead singer Steve Marriott of The Small Faces after he helped found Humble Pie... react to their version of Tina Turner's "Black Coffee" in the small studio at The Old Grey Whistle Test. Not to be missed. The backup singers are awesome (The Blackberries). And Marriott is astonishing! What pipes and persona! One of the best rock vocalists ever!
Great band. "Lazy Sunday" & "Tin Soldier" are musts. Never saw them but did get to see them as the Faces in '71 with Ronnie Wood & Rod Stewart after singer/guitarist Steve Marriott left
The band reformed in 1969 with Rod Stewart and became The Faces. Rod Stewart continued with his solo career but often used The Faces musicians in the recordings.
We all had an Itchycoo park in our lives back in the '70s. Thank you whoever recommended this. A good place to start.
Next stop Humble Pie. Don't care if it's Frampton or Clemson.
Lets get this show on the road!!
Growing up in those days was wonderful with sounds like this around!
And that flanging, mainly on the drums, Wow!
This has always been a favorite for me. Back then, we got high a lot!
Still do
RIP Steve Marriott ❤
Wow the 60s were so fun. High everyday in school hanging out in parks and kissing boys. Someone always had a AM radio of some type and out to the woods for a doobie and kiss boys. Tommy James and the Shondells were pretty big then too. However I quickly switched over to Hendrix as soon as FM radio came about and Life got real interesting there after.
Great song, great band that spawned some other bands, as someone mentioned below. Steve Marriot and Humble Pie will be another great band to check out sometime soon. I might recommend their live recording of a song called Black Coffee, from The Old Grey Whistle Test, a television show from BBC in Britain. Marriot absolutely kills the performance and shows a bit of smirking attitude, to boot.
Love this song. The Small Faces, then The Faces (with Rod Stewart) were great! R.I.P. Ronnie Lane
The Small Faces were not only a great band but they spawned others which were at least as good. The singer, Stevie Marriot was a legend. Check out The Faces, and Humble Pie to begin with.
GREAT tune! If they were anything like I was back then, they're talkin' about going to the park and gettin' stoned opposed to learning stupid stuff at school. My guess is that the 'additive' would be acid (LSD) or 'shrooms. "We'll touch the sky..." Great reaction, man.
Ooh! I've loved this forever! 🎶🤩
In my all time faves 🌟
A " Face " back in the Mod years in the UK meant a hip, together, cool character. They were small and " faces". They had a great run of singles for the Decca label, recorded a ton of songs and were influential groundbreakers. They did a song called " You Need Love " that Led Zep used as a template for " Whole Lotta Love" . The LP " Ogdens Nut Gone Flake " had a sort of trippy fairy tale set to music, including some nonsensical hip spoken word. It's really unique and one of our favorites. They, like the Pretty Things and The Kinks, didn't tour the USA and didn't get the airplay either. Lead singer Marriott was also an actor in some pre Beatle UK teen music films like " Be My Guest" and " Live it Up ".
It was fantastic in 1967 aged 16 and having great songs like this as a background to life
A friend recommended your channel and I am impressed with your commentary and your choice of song. I am a huge Small Faces fan. I agree with you that their music is timeless. Itchicoo Park is a lovely psychedelic pop song, but certainly is not indicative of all their music which encompassed R&B, pop Psychedelic, soul, whimsey, Cockney music hall influences and lastly, more mature soulful ballads,pop and rock. Not much more to add to the knowledgeable comments above and the few great recommendatons from Small Faces, Faces and of course you must check out Humble Pie with the greatest soul/rock singer from that era - Steve Marriott. few more follows:
You Need Lovin /Small Faces/1966
I Don't Need No Dr./Live from Fillmore/Humble Pie/ 1972
Stay with Me/ Faces/ 1972?
Memory blast of early teenage years with a transistor radio and friends at the lake! Thanks!!
I was 15 years old when this came out. It was fun to dance to at the sock hop in the high school gym. Girls still had to wear skirts or dresses every day, no jeans or pants allowed!! 😎👵🏼💜☮️
One of my favorite songs - I was a teenager in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Enjoyed all the great music that came out then. Saw all the great bands as they came through Boston. Enjoying the reactions to others hearing this music for the first time. Saw Humble Pie with Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton at the Music Hall in Boston
Middle school for me. Cutting edge of the day. Peace ✌️
It makes sense if you think about it. I don't expect you to realize this, but stick with what I'm saying. The lead singer from the Small Faces (Steve Marriot), left the band and joined with Humble Pie, with Peter Frampton. He was replaced by Rod Stewart ( thus, Rod Stewart And The Faces). The rest, I suppose, is history.
Great song, great band, Steve Marriott was a great rocker! 👍
I remember when this song first came out… I loved it right away and went out and bought the “45 single.” It’s SUCH a good song! It was obvious that you loved it too! 😀
Awesome song.
Itchycoo Park is a real place in England that I had the experience of visiting (as I lived in England for 10 years in my teenage years), and yes, I got high there! This song takes me back to my youth, as I am 71 years old now. I was in fact, a hippy for real.
A great band from the sixties. Brings back nice memories. I was 11 years old when this record came out. 🎶🎶🎶👍
Early English pop bands were so good, there are so many of them to explore.
Tin Soldier! Play that one!
Steve Marriot-Legend
I was 13 that summer babysitting and dancing to this!!! The summer of love❤❤❤❤
Check out The Faces “stay with me” -video from a British tv performance (1971) it’s killer.
Rod Stewart, who took over singing when Steve left to form his humble band, with Peter Frampton -different singers, yet both fronted the core of this fine band.
When the Rock Hall inducted both Small Faces & the Faces, same night, same ceremony, with 3 men. In each band. The R’Hall has made some serious blunders, waited for years to nominate, favored popularity, - they did Justice for “Faces” in 2012.
I personally had not heard music by the Small F’ until the early 90’s, as they were that big in America, like The Who or Led Zep’. I heard their name as an influence, or referenced. In the early 90’s, I was traveling in Britain, went into a record store, saw a “greatest” cd. 😎🎸 Amazed! Then into Faces. 🙃
They were one of the first groups to produce somewhat like a concept album. "Odgen's Nut Gone Flake" contains one side telling a story of Happiness Stan; some songs connected by an old man telling the story in a very very British accent.
They had a wide musical range: everything between between making no prisoners with "All or Nothing" and tender songs like "Red Ballon".
The ang in flanging is pronounced like the ang in Angela. And the reason for the short songs was the technical limitation of how much music could fit on a 45 rpm singles, which was pretty standard for AM radio broadcasts. There were a few singles released that had long songs that put part of the song on one side and part two on the other. During that era technical developments like microgooves allowed for song 5 or 6 minutes long, but most radio stations preferred the shorter songs because they had built their programming around them. In the late 60s and early 70s, the first FM rock stations did play cuts from albums and longer songs were often played by them.
I enjoyed your reaction, as I usually do!
For some reason, this song makes me think about "Waterloo Sunset" by The Kinks. Not saying these songs are all that similar. In any event, I hope you check out "Waterloo Sunset" some time.
Great choice and great reaction! I saw them at the Fillmore East also Moody Blues (Denny Lane was in them early on with a hit “Go Now”), Humble Pie, and Savoy Brown. The British Bands had lots of innovations. Highly recommended “ Go Now” by Moody Blues. Denny later toured with Paul McCartney. Sir Paul.
Small Faces were actually bigger than the Beatles before the Beatles took off. Robert Plant from. Led Zeppelin was vocally influenced by Steve Marriot the lead singer. Plant and Page actually would follow the band around from gig to gig just to hear Steve sing. In fact Page wanted Marriot for the lead for Zeppelin but ended up with Plant instead. Marriot went on to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton. Greg Ridley, and Jerry Shirley. You will like their vibe too. Everybody loves to react to Humble Pie Black Coffee and are fascinated with Steve's vocals. But check out the live studio of Walk on Guilded Splinters. You get vocals, guitar, and harmonica from Steve, and Vocals and guitar from Frampton as well!! Very good stuff from one of those Super Groups. Steve, unfortunately died in a house fire in the 90's. I think his Daughter inherited his vocal abilities and makes music today.
well said, thank you
I remember when this first came out I was hooked on its unique psychedelic sound. In those days they'd play the top songs at least every hour on AM radio so didn't have to wait long to hear it. I think I later bought the 45 record.
LOVE this song! I squealed when I heard it in an episode of The Handmaids Tale. Hadn't heard it in years...
Love your reactions! I was 6 when this song came out, my sister was 13. I still remember it. Keep them coming✌️
Remember the song lyrics but did not know the band. We used sing this song 🤣 🤣.
Wow how good was the 1960s, well unsurpassable
Jimmy Page wanted him for Zeppelin, but he was commited.
You’re killing it tonight, Great great song
Brilliant musicians and I promise you you will be singing bits of this to yourself for sometime. What did you do? It’s all to beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Itchycoo park . . . sounds like a wonderful place. In 1967, we got high just dancing to it.
Greatest song to start a trip with ... set the tone
Don't know if you've done Humble Pie Black Coffee but you MUST. Please do live version. Steve Marriott.
A highly respected band. A lot of groups cited them as an influence. Think they stumbled on the sound affect by accident and wrote the song to use it. At that time singles had to be short to get the radio play. Later the habit of putting extended length version's on the albums developed. Lazy Sunday is definitely one not to be missed. It's a riot! It captures the flavour of the band so well.
Couple of tracks you might consider that have a single and album length version are - Argent, Hold your head up. Or the Strawbs - Lay down. You've already covered the moody blues, nights I white satin, ( though not the studio version)
Kraftwork - Autobahn is another single release, the album filled a whole side, it does get tedious when it goes on so long though.
That's not hypothetical, lol. Anyway I haven't seen the video for this and ever and yeah you nailed it, it has a certain timelessness about it even though it still has those 60s kind of tropes but these guys were really Cutting Edge at the time.
Check out all the Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople for something of similar significance, and it's a really great song as well, and there is a David Bowie connection to it.
Lazy Sunday Afternoon should be next
There is so many songs from this time. I am so glad I grew up listening to all of it!!!!!!
Next song has to be TIN SOLDIER small face's banger.. say no more ☮️
The sixties in Europe,no military sevice in the Vietrnam War, was the best time to grow up as a teenager!❤👍
Tin Soldier is a must.
Great song, great band. Particularly Steve Marriot and Ronnie Lane. There's a whole lot of stuff worth looking at from them.
Small Faces have their own "Sgt Pepper" from 68 "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake". When it was released it came with a round cover. The whole LP is absolutely fantastic. To bad they split up shortly after this. In a way it was understandable, it would have been difficult to match Ogden with a better record.
Yes, Itchycoo Park is a real park
Hidden among largest parks in East London, there is a patch of land called Itchycoo Park. It is not named after the Small Face's song of the same name, though I too find it all too beautiful. That honour goes to another East London park by the same name.
Try "You Need Lovin'"
I love the phasing on the drums. Very '60s!
♥
Me neither. Don't down anyone who does, but not my thing. High on life?🤔✌️
To suggest son Pink Floyd album Piper At the gates of dawn pick any Pow R Tok H or Take up my Stethoscope and walk different
Won't that be cool. Great song, great band.
Dang, Ronnie Lane looks like he's about 12 or 13!
Great lyrics from Ronnie Lane (Bass player)
So many songs were on 45s so, yeah.
Far out, Man.
Definitely not a one-hit wonder, my friend. Lots of good hits. Try "Tin Soldier" or "Lazy Sunday." 😊
Check out their version of the song You Need Loving.
Sound familiar? ✌️
Ronnie Lane reformed The Faces featuring Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart
Sean, I don't know where else to send this timely last-minute request so I'll post it here. On this last day of October, please react to "When October Goes" by Barry Manilow. Thanks!
1967. New times!
try some humble pie dont need no doctor and 30 days in the hole.
