Luke your father was quite simply one of the best singer songwriters of his generation and he had passion for it like nobody else brought happiness and laughter and tears to his songs so missed by so many god bless you
Luke, have only just seen this interview. Have always loved The Small Faces, and The Faces. How Come is one of my favourite songs of all time . I know a band that play that song, and more, and they have seen Slim Chance play live recently, such a wonderful tribute to a talented musician. Will never be forgotten xxx
silverrunfilms WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY MORE than just the backbone of the Small Faces or later The Faces. Not to mention, one of the LEAST PRETENTIOUS FAMOUS musicians that ever played. Him and George Harrison Sorta the same like and down to earth spirits amongst the " rock crowd " at the time. R.I.P. IN A EARNED AND DESERVED BLISS MR. RONNIE LANE AND HARRISON.
However, he's wrong in saying that we owe the guitar to Spain. In the eastern word, there were instruments, some now long forgotten about and no longer even seen. That where string instruments that could be plucked, strummed, or bowed, that; looked and sounded very much like today's acoustic guitars; even from Africa. And let's not even begin to talk about old instruments from India or China... each culture making and playing a plethora of stringed instruments some forgotten, and only seen in tapestries or ancient art and sculpture. And everyone knows the sitar, but; even the sitar has and had bigger and smaller derivatives of itself. All I'm saying is... Let's give the PROPER CREDIT to and unto the PROPER people places and cultures. Not everything comes from Europe or the guote... Roman way or ideals. Because, IN TRUTH; Rome stole its culture from Greece whom in turn took most of thiers from Africa, mainly Kemit (egypt, a Greek name for Kemit ); and Egypt from Sumer and Sumer from even older civilizations. Then there's China... A WHOLE STORY OF CIVILIZATION AND CULTURE UNTO ITSELF!!! I'm just tired of HALF TRUTHS OR OUT RIGHT LIES from not so intelligent people. He should stick to entertainment and music; INSTEAD OF GIVING AND PARROTING OR SPREADING FALSE TRUTHS AS KNOWLEDGEABLE FACT, especially when he's not even remotely close to the actual truth of the matter. That said... I'LL CLIMB DOWN OFF MY SOAP BOX OR PULPIT!!!!! LOL! PEACE AND PROSPERITY TO ALL! TRULY! ! ! ! !
I just watched Ronnie lane 'the passing show' his story from founding the small faces up till slim chance.very good documentary.He's a standout performer for me.RIP
Luke, your Dad was a lovely spirit and reached so so many hearts through his fantastic earthy songs, songs like Annie and 'The Poacher'...personally he helped to form my character in some ways and I am thankful for that. Slim Chance was amazing!
Luke... Thank you for sharing your memories with us. Your dad was a remarkable man for so many reasons, you know that already of course. Sadly he couldn't stay longer, he's so sorely missed. 💗🙏
Luke, I love watching your Dad perform. His voice is enchanting. He also sounds like a real person and human being. His life was too short as you'll know of course. I'm very sad about his illness, but I will continue to enjoy his work. Heaven's made a terrific gain.
Peter Woodier So you're saying this guy on the show here is Ronnie Lane? This old guy with the gray beard the gray hair is Ronnie Lane? I thought he died from Ms wow your tellimg me he's alive? Wow that's great! Then! maybe he will get back together with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood and play with them again! So that was a hoax saying he was dead? I thought so! Well I'm glad he's alive then I wonder where he was hiding out pretending that he was dead?
Of course, those of us who were at the prime of our lives back then [the early twenties] loved Ronnie Lane's music but now I see a young man who was a good man a kind man. Luke clearly loved his dad and it shows here in this video.
Ronnie was one the most liked people in rock n roll. Just watched a live performance of Maybe I'm amazed and Rod couldn't help putting his arm around Ronnie. A good man, mate, and bassist!
The life of a musician is so much harder than most people know. Being the life of the party ends abruptly once your health or your partners’ health is challenged by MS or Cancer. Ronnies’ story brings a light to what the struggle is like. He had some good friends at least.
Ronnie may have had a bad break in life, but he always bring happiness and joy to be when I hear him talk or sing. It's so nice to see this interview with Luke. Plus Cat Stevens!
I've always loved The Small Faces. It was one of those moments you can remember where you were when I heard on the radio that Ronnie had gone, so sad that his son found out the same way.
"Not materialistic, he just wanted the music to be there for the people..." Sadly, the same cannot be said for Rod Stewart, no wonder they had a falling out. RIP Ronnie Lane.
One of the great unsung artists of the rock era. I like Ian McLagen's name for the tribute he did to Ronnie, "Spiritual Boy". He was down-to-earth and funny - try "You're So Rude" or "On the Beach" - and also spiritual and soulful - "Debris," "Ooh La La."
Loved the Small Faces, the music of my youth, Ronnie Lane, so cool. Luke, so sad that you heard of your fathers passing on the radio, that’s not right, thinking of you buddy
Jeepers Luke. I'm sorry it ended this way for you 😲 I thought your dad was great in the bands he was in. Like, I really enjoyed watching him, and the enjoyment he showed.
If anyone watching this would like to hear more about this time and also some more from Luke , have a look at our channel. Luke and I had a good old natter and filmed it for people to see .
@@bluestone2001 I joined the SF through a mate who worked for Ron King the booking agent, he shared the same office's as Don Arden the SF manager. First job was to go out the East End of London and pick up the van and gear. It was parked at the rear of Jimmy Winston's fathers pub. I think it was called the Blind Beggar of The Crays era fame. The old Morris van was swapped for a brand new Commer 15cwt, loaded the gear and set off for Birmingham and the 1st gig. The lads had to help me set up the sound systems and drums as I was no musician only a driver. But I soon got the hand of it. Jimmy Winston the organist was swapped for Ian Mc Claggen, and my life got hard he had a Hammond organ and a huge Lesley speaker. A lot of gigs were two floors up over Burtons the tailors. Boy they took some humping so I gate a helper. We toured hard doing 6/7 nights a week, Sunday picture house shows, TV guest appearances, Top of the Pops etc. did a 3/4 day tour of France/Belgium. It was busy and any time in London was used up getting supply's. Your dad was great to work with and after Kenny Jones was 2nd favourite of the group, laid back and I can't remember a bad word.
Good Moaning Vietnam thanks for the reply. I’m not Reuben by the way. I’m just a fan who caught the interview on telly. Great reply. I think the pub was the black prince.

I have read two stories. One was that Plonk was the sound he made when he first played a guitar and Steve called him that. Then I read his brother say that the name is referring to his big knob (which he said is a family trait).

I think the closest to debris in the USA would be a "flea market." Of all the great talent in The Faces, Ronnie Lane has to be my favorite-him and Mac. I had the honor to see them twice-both times in my hometown of Roanoke, VA. The first time was in Feb of '71- Faces 3rd tour, with The Grease Band opening, Faces middle and Savoy Brown closing. Faces played well over(thankfully), leaving only about 30 minutes for Savoy Brown. The second time was May 12, '73 on Mac's Birthday. Mac went into some detail in his autobio, ALL THE RAGE. It was the night, just before going onstage, that Ronnie announced he was leaving Faces. Midway thru the show, Ronnie led a singalong of Happy Birthday as a huge cake was wheeled onstage.

Saw the Houston leg of that very tour.It was amazing...like the best party you ever went to or gave. The Faces had a new card up their sleeves Woodie and Roddie.@@frankcarmack1442
He died of MS sadly . Although it’s odd it’s true . Ronnie was living in the states and the boys were in the UK with me . As his condition deteriorated the ties were cut to the boys .

Luke Lane, your Dad was, in my opinion, one of the greatest music drivers of his era. Much love and Peace.
There is something special about Ronnie Lane and his music. He's got a huge spirit and huge heart that is undeniable and really shines through.
Such an easy going kind man, no heirs, no graces, just a really great bloke.
Luke your father was quite simply one of the best singer songwriters of his generation and he had passion for it like nobody else brought happiness and laughter and tears to his songs so missed by so many god bless you
Seems like a lovely down to earth lad. Ronnie would be proud.
Luke, the love we feel for your brilliant father goes out to you and your siblings too.

Enjoyed this very much. While Ronnie was among us for way too short of time, the music lasts forever. Thanks so much, Ronnie, wherever you are!

Thank you for sharing this. This is very very special
Thank you Luke Lane for sharing that. Your dad was special to millions.
lovely lad...just like his Dad
Ronnie was one the most liked people in rock n roll. Just watched a live performance of Maybe I'm amazed and Rod couldn't help putting his arm around Ronnie. A good man, mate, and bassist!
Sorry Luke. I know it hurts.
Remember how lucky you were to have had such a beautiful person as your father.peace🎈

Small faces were my favorite band during my Mod years
RIP Ronnie

Beth McAvoy Thanks...I was wondering who that bloke at 4:12 was.
So was I!
The Poacher makes me cry tears of joy, your dad was a national treasure and is still loved and revered by songwriters and musicians
You should be proud of your dad'made some great music and that can never be taken away.
I love Ronnie Lane's music! I hope Ronnie visits Luke in spirit.
I've always loved The Small Faces. It was one of those moments you can remember where you were when I heard on the radio that Ronnie had gone, so sad that his son found out the same way.

That is so sad to hear of your father's death over the radio when you were obviously so close.
How close can you be if you rarely see him?
@@RandomPlayIist When they lived in different countries and Ronnie was unable to travel due to his illness it became impossible.
Ronnie up there with the greatest English men.
Fantastic genius of a man & musician met when I worked at Whipps cross hospital .He use to attend for hyper barrick unit 😢
Ron is my Hero, I cry when I hear him
Luke, I was your babysitter in St Margarets along with my girlfriend around 1979! Your mum and dad were all heart!
Luke your dad is one of my heroes. JoJo uk xx
So sad and disrespectful not to be notified of his death before the press was. Poor Ronnie, such a fantastic musician.
Pity didnt meet the Man but , met the music . Peace Luke
rest in peace beautiful talented Ronnie Lane xxx
Wow! You are so like him! God bless him, loved him dearly. Xxxx
Happy birthday Ronnie you are a great loss when you left us and are always in my mind and heart. Love you so and your music,
Thank you 💓
☮🙏💜
The change of direction on the bass at the end of sha-la-la-la-le is nothing short of genius. Thank you Ronnie Lane.
This group was a shadow of the original Small Faces. Not the same feel, not the same energy, not the original. RIP Steve Marriott.
R.l.P ronnie
Ronnie was brilliant miss him so
Respect, Your dad got me to be a bassist, along with John Entwistle
Such a sad story about an amazing man and musician.
One of the great unsung artists of the rock era. I like Ian McLagen's name for the tribute he did to Ronnie, "Spiritual Boy". He was down-to-earth and funny - try "You're So Rude" or "On the Beach" - and also spiritual and soulful - "Debris," "Ooh La La."
‘April Fool’ was a lovely song…
Ronnie Lane one of the most powerful bass players ever. Search old Faces videos and Song of a Baker by Small Faces. Amazing!
There is only one Ronnie from the east end...know what I mean ? King Ronnie . xx Top man top voice.
Dear old Ronnie god bless him
Yusef thank you for your music
It took me awhile to recognize Cat Stevens here.
Thankyou. I wondered who it was!
Thanks I knew if I read the comments I'd find out who that was lol.
Cat Stevens made some fantastic music in his time. Up there with the Greats...
As soon as he spoke, you knew it was The Cat!!
Loved the Small Faces, the music of my youth, Ronnie Lane, so cool. Luke, so sad that you heard of your fathers passing on the radio, that’s not right, thinking of you buddy
Absolutely, what a tragic and unforgiveable way to learn of your dad's death.
My favourite Faces member. His songs were my favourite. I preferred his voice to Rods
I loved his work.
Jeepers Luke. I'm sorry it ended this way for you 😲 I thought your dad was great in the bands he was in. Like, I really enjoyed watching him, and the enjoyment he showed.
We miss you Ronnie .
When someone else takes away your family tie..... I hear you, Luke ❤️
Never been an Alex J fan,but blodess,you did a fair good interview here👍
so sadly missed god bless.
All my love to you ❤️❤️❤️
"God Bless Us All." ~Ronnie Lane~
a great humble funny bloke and a fantastic musician my musical hero, plonk
Great band great man
I preferred him with Steve more than Rod.
I'm originally from Kensington and Chelsea in London.
Great stuff sonny boy and thx.
One of the greatest base players of all time in Rock-n-Roll.Thump the base in your face, with the faces
If anyone watching this would like to hear more about this time and also some more from Luke , have a look at our channel. Luke and I had a good old natter and filmed it for people to see .

Best of luck Luke,,rip Ronnie,,
Ronnie and the Small Faces were as important as the Who,Rolling Stones,Kinks etc musically and culturally,an iconic British Working Class band
God bless him.
Your Dad was a great hero of mine. Rough Mix with Pete Townshend is in my top 10 albums of all time.
R I P Ronnie, god bless ya, Nice
Legend
The poor son. Not being able to bury his father. Shame.
You was searching through the odds and ends,, You were looking for a bargain ---- x
LOVE RONNIE LANE... but hate these fake bbc presenters... job worths
*Looks at camera and says as insincerely as possible*: "mmmm such a sad story....." *then turns around and laughs*
It's the job...tears would be worse still...and risible.
There are no borders in music? The rhythms are different though and that creates borders which you aren't obviously aware of
RIP *RONNIE LANE*
ronnie would be proud of him well i am
Does anybody know where he's buried at today ?
I read where the last woman he married was not a good person .She had him buried the same day he passed on .No funeral that's sad to me .
In honor of this fine person I baptized my Oldtimer Matra Murena " RONNIE "
Ben Orr worshipped Ronnie! RIP to both, jammin in the skies together.
Люк, Ваш отец был замечательный музыкант, а внешне Вы очень с ним похожи..
1965 I was the Small Faces roadie and knew Ronnie Lane as Plonk Lane where that nick name came from I don't know.
I’d love to know more. There’s so little info about who readied for them. I’d love to chat to you.

What did he die of and why was he buried on the same day seems very strange, and the family won't contacted.
He died of MS sadly . Although it’s odd it’s true . Ronnie was living in the states and the boys were in the UK with me . As his condition deteriorated the ties were cut to the boys .
