One of the most overlooked vocalist in rock and blues history! Steve Marriott was a gem, a genius and major influence long before anyone knew who Peter Frampton was.
And Hot and Nasty. Clem Clemson took over for Frampton. I saw the Smokin tour. They were the loudest band I ever heard and I’ve seen the best in my life.
Old surfing movie 🎥 Salt Water Wine opens with 30 Days in Hole , in Hawaii with Barry K . Just blew me away! Was waiting outside the record store the next day to get a Humble Pie album . Dang memory burn 🔥
Saw that movie back in the '70s in an auditorium at my Junior High School in coastal San Diego, where they regularly played surf films on Friday or Saturday nights. I remember BK manhandling ferocious Sunset Beach waves over in Da Islands. What a great time it was! Would've been lost to the ages had you not mentioned it--thanks for that!
Oh yeah--one of those songs where, when it was still on the radio when you got to your destination, you sat in the parking lot and listened it out, even if it made you late doing so....
Geoff… they blew the opening act out of the water…some unknown band named Earth, Wind & Fire. And yes, the best. I’ve seen a whole lot of bands, maybe Freddie Mercury is up there, but Freddie never had the grit that Steve had. Patti LaBelle who had an incredible set of pipes, opened.for Humble Pie on the Smokin’ tour. But Steve was still the best front man out there. Jaggar couldn’t hold a candle to him, and I saw both multiple times. Street-level music that could beat you down, take your money, and you’d be first in line for the next show. You should have been there.
@@williamtauriello1581 Keith Richards actually tried to get the Stones to hire Steve, but Mick watched him perform and said no. The reason is because Mick didn't want Steve stealing his thunder, and he absolutely would have. I agree, he had one of the best EVER voices of all time.
It's the sound they are reacting to, and many bands adapted a southern blues rock sound because it's what they liked. Humble Pie certainly wasn't southern though. It's kind of like CCR doesn't sound like a California band. The Brits were big fans of the blues.
Yeah, the bass is driving the bus on this one. One of my favorites from my 70s hippie days. I really love to see people your age enjoying the music enjoyed by people my age when we were your age. 😂
Humble Pie and Steve Marriott great group! Try “I don’t need no doctor”. Peter Frampton played in this group toward the end. The song “Shine on” on Frampton comes alive was first done by Humble Pie.
@@randallbundy108 thanks for the correction. I see you’re right. I’m a big Frampton fan and think he didn’t get the long term recognition he deserved as a guitarist and artist overall. He was wildly popular in the day, but the record company marketing ruined his long term career. What a shame…it’s a plain shame.
Great song choice! This album, Smokin', was great. The first song is a must hear; Hot 'N' Nasty is definitely hot and nasty. Steve Marriot is the lead singer, these guys are British, but this is definitely a Southern sound. Peter Frampton was also an earlier member of Humble Pie and the album, Rock On, is a stunner with the two of them sharing lead vocals and guitars. Check out Shine On, The Light, and Stone Cold Fever. Such great stuff. Great reaction y'all!
When I hear these guys I think THIS is where the Black Crowes got their DNA ...even more than the Faces and the Stones.. Also from Smokin.. I love You're So Good For Me.
Like Blind Faith (I'm STILL waiting for you to do them) and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, this was a "supergroup", where members of other successful acts joined together. Steve Marriott was the lead singer of The Small Faces (whom you ALSO need to start covering). Towards the end of 1968, he became friendly with Peter Frampton, who was leaving his group, The Herd. Marriott wanted Frampton to join the Small Faces, but his band mates Ronnie Lane and Ian McLagan were all "we already HAVE a guitarist" and didn't want him. Apparently, it became a bone of contention, and eventually, it was "it's him or us!" and Marriott chose Frampton. They joined up with bassist Greg Ridley, formerly of Spooky Tooth (ANOTHER band that I don't think you've hit yet) and hired a new drummer, and they were off! And then Frampton left the band pretty early, anyway. Oops. But Marriott kept on; as noted, replacement guitarist Clem Clempson knew his way around an instrument, too. Meanwhile, the Small Faces added Rod Stewart and future Rolling Stone Ron Wood and renamed themselves Faces (you haven't done THEM either, have you?) and did pretty well for a while. Until Rod and Ron left and they were back where they started, that is. But yeah, Steve Marriott can WAIL. Even if he's not "Southern" at all. (Well, Essex is technically in the southern half of England, but it's north of London, so people don't call it the "south".)
Nicely summarized.. Seems strange today but all those 60s Brit rockers knew each other, playing the same circuit, hanging in the same clubs. The "begats" of early Brit rock is a worthy field of study.
Nicely said Jessica. I too love rock history and Steve Marriott is my favorite subject. Huge talent, interesting back story and tragic ending. He is such an enigma, the potential to be a superstar, but continued to self-sabotage again and again. I'm sure you know there have been 3 biographies written about Steve, plus he plays a large role in the memoirs of Peter Frampton, Jerry Shirley, Kenney Jones and Ian McLagan(both of Small Faces). Another fact you don't mention is that drummer Jerry Shirley was discovered and mentored by Steve when Jerry was just 14. Jenny Marriott has mentioned that Steve was very appreciative of the chances he was given and as such was very generous of his time, advise, and even giving away his guitars to struggling, talented young musicians he met. He has been said to possess a "heart of Gold", even though he sometimes acted the devil! Rest in Peace, Steve.
This song has more drug references than just about any other song in rock history. Chicago green, red Lebanese, black Nepalese, Newcastle brown and Durban poison are all names for different types of marijuana or hashish. There are also references to cocaine use and prostitution in the lyrics.
@@paulrevere-e6y Read the book Thunder of the Gods and Jimmy Page at first wanted Steve to front LZ. His other choice was Steve Winwood until finally settling on Plant.
@@paulrevere-e6y Absolutely! I actually like Steve’s voice better. He was way underrated. Would be interesting to see what he would have done had he not died so young.
Humble Pie was my first concert at 15 that I’ll had the amazing experience to see. I believe it was at a place called big surf in Tempe Arizona. It was amazing I believe Peter Frampton with 17 or 18 when he was in Humble Pie. I am 67 years old now, and I still listen to this song all the time. And in my opinion, there is not a stereo system invented that can play this song loud enough. “ New Castle Brown, i’m telling ya can sure smack you down” damn right! Thank you so much for playing it!
I've been waiting for this one. I discovered it 20 years ago. The whole song is great, but that beat in the beginning of the 2nd verse is pretty awesome! This is just a fun 70's rock tune. 🙂👍
Steve Marriott was great through the 60s in The Small Faces, (try “Itchicoo Park” and “Tin Soldier”) and through the 70s in Humble Pie. If you really want true gritt & blues, you guys have just got to play Jimmy Barnes, “ Stone Cold”.
I've been listening to rock and other genres since the sixties and I think it's great that you are giving all kinds of music a try. Sometimes y:all are straight on and sometimes you might miss the mark just a bit, but you are always giving it your best. Gotta respect that. Amber has some instinctive insights about the music that are usually spot on. Of course, even if she was just reading the phone book, I'd be enthralled. She is just so sweet.
I met the lead singer, Steve Marriott, when I had to serve a writ of attachment on him for fees he owed his former management company, who I represented. He was a very nervous guy (understandably given the circumstances) but very nice. After a delay, the show went forward, and the band opened with 30 Days in the Hole. Was then and still is a great number.
Steve Marriott was a tiny little guy from the East end of London but what a huge voice! He was a big star with the Small Faces while he was still a teenager. Check out Tin Soldier (really, you must - one of his most powerful performaces). It's from 1966 when he was still just 19 and he wrote the song with Ronnie Lane. A brilliant song writing partnership. PP Arnold is on backing vocals. I think he and she had a thing going at the time. He also sang the Artful Dodger part on the LP of Lionel Bart's Oliver. His mum sent him to stage school to keep him out of trouble. He died far too young, in a house fire.
I love that you're getting to know Steve Marriott ex Small Faces. I grew up in the UK during The British Invasion with the Beatles, The Small Faces with Steve Marriott etc. I had his photos all over my Bedroom Wall, he was from the East End of London, sadly he died too soon in 1991. More Stevie and The Small Faces Please!
Steve Marriott - one of the coolest voices ever! Fun Fact: the backup vocals for Humble Pie (The Blackberries) has Vanetta Fields as one member of the trio - she later moved to Australia, became an Aussie citizen and for donkey's years was the senior member of John Farnham's backup singers!!
The guy on bass was Greg Ridley, Humble pie was a late 60's early 70's English band , lead Singer was Steve Marriott of the original small faces, very successful both in UK and US, Rock blues, Rotherham Blues type band, the soundtrack of my early teens, love your reactions love you guys, you bring back great memories for me xxxx ❤ 😍
An ABSOLUTE jam ! This song is on my car’s playlist and when it comes on, my foot tends to get a little heavy on the accelerator ! It’s great to see the younger generations jam to some old school rock ! Ps, if you like harmonica then, Black Sabbath, The Wizard is a must listen to jam.
From what I know he started as a child actor in England,his name is Steve Mariot and he passed away in the 2000s he also was in the band small faces, they had a hit in the late 60s called ichy-coo,park.
There was a moment in time in 1966 when Keith Moon of The Who, Jeff Beck of The Yardbirds, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones (then London studio musicians) got together to record a song…Beck’s Bolero. It went so well that they tossed around the idea of forming a supergroup. They needed a singer. The name that first came to mind was Steve Marriott (here the vocalist for Humble Pie). It would be interesting to imagine Led Zeppelin with Steve. Marriott as the frontman. A great blues singer, obviously…..but would he have been a good fit with the range of styles Jimmy wanted to do? I don’t think so, but it’s interesting to play with these “what if’s”.
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were big fans of my favourite band The Small Faces. I read somewhere that before they were big they used to follow The Small Faces around. If you want to hear how they were influenced have a listen to " Come On Children" You wanna hear grit well you dont get and grittier than the brilliant Stevie Marriot.
The famous concert promoter of the 70's Bill Graham once said he loved these guys because they left it all on the stage. They were definitely a concert band!!
Steve Mariott was Jimmy Page's first pick for vocals of the New Yard Birds (Led Zeppelin), after he tuned them down, Mick Jones of Spooky Tooth and Foriegner also turned him down, next offer went to Robert Plant whom thankfully accepted but adjusting his vocal style to mimic Steve Mariott. This is where the vocals of rock originates. Peter Frampton played with Humble Pie for 3 years but left only weeks before the recording of this album. Steve Mariott's first hit was in 1968 - Lazy Sunday with the Small Faces 👍
Lead singer Stephen Peter Marriott (30 January 1947 - 20 April 1991) was an English musician, songwriter and frontman guitarist of rock bands Small Faces (1965-1968 and 1975-1978) and Humble Pie (1969-1975 and 1979-1983), spanning over two decades. Marriott was inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Small Faces.
Humble Pie is my all-time favorite band founded by Peter Frampton who, after years graciously parted way so he could do a solo career. Steve Marriot's voice sends chills. Also check our Roadrunner, Drift Away. Shine on, Black Coffee. There are too many great songs to list but I have to add Big George. If you love harmonica, you absolutely have to check out Whammer Jammer by the J.Geils Band.
@@IisDeeps My knowledge with the band was that Frampton started the band and it was getting into harder rock, so he parted ways. It really does not' matter, they were great. Thank you, I will check into it more because that is what I always thought.
Another 70's band that still awaits your first reaction is Foghat: "Slow Ride" (8-minute version), "Fool for the City" "Drivin' Wheel" "Stone Blue" "I Just Want to Make Love to You"
Foghat great band saw them live twice. Slow ride is a must but must do the long version.The short version was for radio play, and it is missing the fire of the long version. I also love Fool For The City.
Great song.. so glad you grooved to it. Check out their song "You're so good for me." Totally bluesy... For some one different check out Eddie Money. "Two tickets to paradise," If I can walk on water, and Take me home tonight. You guys are great..
Steve Marriott was the lead singer and guitarist for Small Faces. He left that band to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton. Small Faces replaced Steve with Rod Stewart on vocals and Ronnie Wood on guitar and changed their name to Faces. Ronnie Wood is now playing with the Rolling Stones.
If you like this song then you need to check out the song “all right now” by the band called free. He was very young, 19 I believe. It reminds me a little of this style. I think you’ll love it. Unfortunately he died at age 25. Chris H
Chris - think you are referring to Paul Kossoff, the guitarist in Free who lost his life at 25. The singer Paul Rodgers after some great songs in Free went on to form Bad Company and is still around today.
Oh I was waiting on this 'un. "Hot and Nasty," "I don't need no Doctor," and old school blues-"I Wonder" and I Can't Stand the Rain ( covered by Missy Elliot in the 90's.) My ONLY "Famous" encounter- a friend introduced me to Marriot on my 25th birthday. "Oh, Birthday? We gonna make sure u never forget this birthday!" Him, me and my friends, his HUGE English bodyguard, and band members/crew watched the Sun come up.U right Steve, we never forgot. RIP.
Oh I love it when you folks discover this.... Humble pie for your love acoustic video on RUclips.... You don't have a heartbeat or a soul if you are not moved by this rendition of this song Humble Pie Acoustic For your love
As others noted, the lead singer was the great Steve Marriott, who continues to influence other musicians to this day. He sadly died in a house fire just after returning home to England after recording some new tunes with Peter Frampton in Los Angeles. Marriott was, along with Steve Winwood, Paul Rodgers and Scottish rocker Frankie Miller (you should really listen to him) are among the top blues/rock singers to ever cut songs. There were others (Rod Stewart, James Dewar (ex Robin Trower singer and bass player), but none could top these singes.
Y'all should check out slow ride by Foghat, also another great Foghat song you should check out is the live version of Fool for the city. Charlie Huhn the singer/frontman for humble pie was also in Foghat
Another vote for "I don't need no doctor" live. So not southern rock, they are OG Brit rockers. Marriott started out with Small Faces (check out Itchy Koo Park), when he left for Humble Pie they got Rod Stewart to replace him and changed their name to Faces.
@@halweiss8671 The Small Faces were (along with the Who) the foremost Mod band in east London. Yes, the were small - the tallest was only 5'5", but a "Face" was Mod slang for a very important, very cool Mod about town. You are also right that they were very young when they formed Drummer Kenny Jones was 16, Steve Marriot 17 and Ronnie Lane 18. Ian McLagan joined late and was 20. IMO they were a perfect little band. Talented, creative songwriting, always experimenting and wicked cute!
Seems that Steve Marriot was a big fan of Booker T & The MGs, Ray Charles, Muddy Waters, Buddy Holly and Miles Davis. Buddy Holly was from Texas, Booker T was from Tennessee. Muddy Waters was a Chicago Blues Man. Steve Marriot's song "Natural Born Bugie" references Creole Queen, Blue Suede Shoes and Memphis. After learning about those influences, I am not surprised that Humble Pie has a Southern Rock Sound. Like Steve, many British Bands (Rolling Stones, The Animals, Led Zeppelin, etc.) also learned about the blues and rock-n-roll from Muddy Waters, Booker T and Buddy Holly. While Steve was in the Small Faces, he tried to bring Peter Frampton into that band, but the other members of the Small Faces didn't like the idea. Steve started hanging out with Peter and bassist Greg Ridley. Shortly thereafter Steve left the Small Faces and joined Peter and Greg who were starting to get Humble Pie up and running as a band. 🎸😎 "When you're smiling, when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you!" , Joe Goodwin lyric, song by Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and many others. 😀😀😀😀😀
You should check out their song “Never Been Any Reason.” Also, Black Crowes did a great cover of this song. EDIT: “Never Been Any Reason” is by Head East, not Humble Pie. You should still definitely react to it.
Jason Ricci has a cover of Lou Reed's "Walk on the wild side" here on youtube with a harminica solo that gives the biggest chill bumps. He is crazy great blues harmonica player.
They were big for awhile, but should have been way bigger. The grit of this band is uncomparable. If I recall correctly, Peter Frampton came out of this band.
Smokin' & Rock on are just classic Humble pie albums , Great songs to try ...Hot & Nasty , C'mon Everybody , I Don't need no doctor , Shine on , Stone cold fever , 79th & sunset , Sour grain , Road runner G jam , Four day creep, & for Rob if you like Slow heavy blues with great vocals harmonica etc. Listen to I Wonder , Rollin stoned , Strange days
My 2 year old daughter said that you two are "really really cute"! I guess we have to sub now. Keep it up guys, we absolutely love it! This is her favorite song btw.
Great react as usual. The late Steve Marriott (d. 1991) was a Southern English Rocker but the similarities are understandable. Definitely worth continuing to react to and enjoy. Like other comments: "I don't need no doctor", "Fool for a pretty face" though many others to list would be a good beginning foundation. So many groups, so little time. Keep on. Truly enjoy watching y'all. Even my wife likes watching y'all and she doesn't really like watching reaction videos but has said great things about some of the videos she has seen on your You Tube channel. At 57 years, about 90% of what is presented is the soundtracks of our lives, guys my age. Your responses are sort of how we felt hearing these songs for the first time way back in the day. Stay Blessed!!!!!
I'm colin 16 I'm from oklahoma as well. Stephen Marriott is the name of the lead singer. He was also in the huge 60s group 'The Sall Faces. You've heard his high pitched voice you need to check out The small faces 'Yoi Need Lovin' that was the song that inspired Led Zeppelin to write Whole Lotta Love. Stephen Marriott can get high and low.

Yup. A southern rock feel by a bunch of Brits.
Reminds me of Small Faces.
You two OWE it to yourselves to hear Humble Pie’s “I Don’t Need No Doctor” live at the Fillmore; it’s 🔥
Yes. That one is an absolute MUST.
Also his early works with Small Faces, Itchycoo Park and Tin Soldier
Absolutely....one of my favorites!
Indeed, what a great live act
They were one of the hottest groups in 72.
Steve Marriott was a little guy but a giant star. Such a powerful, bluesy singer. What a great singer that left us too soon 💔🔥
So very many left us too soon but there has NEVER been better music than our era 60-70s
Well said
One of the most overlooked vocalist in rock and blues history! Steve Marriott was a gem, a genius and major influence long before anyone knew who Peter Frampton was.
Peter Frampton was an original member of Humble Pie. Two of their other big songs were “I Don’t Need No Doctor” and “Natural Born Bugie.”
Thank you. That's what I was gonna say!
@@sisterdebmac Me too!
Frampton left before Smokin was recorded.
And Hot and Nasty. Clem Clemson took over for Frampton. I saw the Smokin tour. They were the loudest band I ever heard and I’ve seen the best in my life.
I'll add "C'mon Everybody" to the request list.

Totally agree, imo Marriott is the UKs greatest vocalist
Humble Pie is like the best garage band you ever heard. Cheers.....
One of the best of the British Blues bands. They have many great tunes.
The whole 'Smokin' album is top shelf.
Not every band is southern rock! These guys are from England!

Early British bands loved the Blues and Humble Pie defiantly was one.
Savoy Brown and Foghat too.

Every song on "Smokin" is hot. my favorites are "I KNOW YOU'RE SO GOOD FOR ME" and " I WONDER"

@surlechapeau : This one should be mandatory !
Humble Pie has always seemed to me as a forerunner for the Black Crowes, whom I also revere and love. They are first cousins in the Rock family.
This song has more drug references than just about any other song in rock history. Chicago green, red Lebanese, black Nepalese, Newcastle brown and Durban poison are all names for different types of marijuana or hashish. There are also references to cocaine use and prostitution in the lyrics.
Newcastle Brown is Newcastle Brown Ale a tasty British beverage
There is a lot more than drugs in thee way of double entendres.
@@bobcorbin3294 They are not referring to the beer. In this song "Newcastle Brown" was a reference to heroin. Sure 'smacks" ya down.
All heroin references no marijuana.
Steve Marriott was one of the most underrated blues singers of the 70's. Gotta love him.

Plant followed him around, you can tell he was a huge inspiration to him. He definitely took after Steve.

It will get you jacked up.
This song always makes me smile. Mission accomplished, y'all!
The Blackberries backing vocals trio just killing it on the chorus. Truly classic!

Discovered this 50 years ago.😉
A fun rock tune that describes doing countless different t kinds of drugs.
That why this song was banned for years from radio play. 😂 👍
Guys, you’re jammin exactly like we used to in the 70’s when that song came on!
SO glad you like it!! 💜💜💜

I met the lead singer, Steve Marriott, when I had to serve a writ of attachment on him for fees he owed his former management company, who I represented. He was a very nervous guy (understandably given the circumstances) but very nice. After a delay, the show went forward, and the band opened with 30 Days in the Hole. Was then and still is a great number.

Steve Marriott was a tiny little guy from the East end of London but what a huge voice! He was a big star with the Small Faces while he was still a teenager. Check out Tin Soldier (really, you must - one of his most powerful performaces). It's from 1966 when he was still just 19 and he wrote the song with Ronnie Lane. A brilliant song writing partnership. PP Arnold is on backing vocals. I think he and she had a thing going at the time. He also sang the Artful Dodger part on the LP of Lionel Bart's Oliver. His mum sent him to stage school to keep him out of trouble. He died far too young, in a house fire.
I love that you're getting to know Steve Marriott ex Small Faces. I grew up in the UK during The British Invasion with the Beatles, The Small Faces with Steve Marriott etc. I had his photos all over my Bedroom Wall, he was from the East End of London, sadly he died too soon in 1991. More Stevie and The Small Faces Please!
Amber, we love you're country. Don't ever change being you! This is a great Humble Pie song. "I Don't Need No Doctor" is your next best play.
I don't need no doctor from the album Rockin the Fillmore will leave you speechless ..
Steve Marriott - one of the coolest voices ever! Fun Fact: the backup vocals for Humble Pie (The Blackberries) has Vanetta Fields as one member of the trio - she later moved to Australia, became an Aussie citizen and for donkey's years was the senior member of John Farnham's backup singers!!
The guy on bass was Greg Ridley, Humble pie was a late 60's early 70's English band , lead Singer was Steve Marriott of the original small faces, very successful both in UK and US, Rock blues, Rotherham Blues type band, the soundtrack of my early teens, love your reactions love you guys, you bring back great memories for me xxxx ❤ 😍
An ABSOLUTE jam ! This song is on my car’s playlist and when it comes on, my foot tends to get a little heavy on the accelerator !
It’s great to see the younger generations jam to some old school rock !
Ps, if you like harmonica then, Black Sabbath, The Wizard is a must listen to jam.
Humble Pie 👊🏼💪🏽 🤟😝🤘
So influential to Rock and Roll, and Southern Rock.
Steve Marriott was a fabulous singer!
From what I know he started as a child actor in England,his name is Steve Mariot and he passed away in the 2000s he also was in the band small faces, they had a hit in the late 60s called ichy-coo,park.
There was a moment in time in 1966 when Keith Moon of The Who, Jeff Beck of The Yardbirds, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones (then London studio musicians) got together to record a song…Beck’s Bolero. It went so well that they tossed around the idea of forming a supergroup. They needed a singer. The name that first came to mind was Steve Marriott (here the vocalist for Humble Pie). It would be interesting to imagine Led Zeppelin with Steve. Marriott as the frontman. A great blues singer, obviously…..but would he have been a good fit with the range of styles Jimmy wanted to do? I don’t think so, but it’s interesting to play with these “what if’s”.
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were big fans of my favourite band The Small Faces. I read somewhere that before they were big they used to follow The Small Faces around. If you want to hear how they were influenced have a listen to " Come On Children" You wanna hear grit well you dont get and grittier than the brilliant Stevie Marriot.
Marriotts management at the time threatened Jimmy about poaching him.
The famous concert promoter of the 70's Bill Graham once said he loved these guys because they left it all on the stage. They were definitely a concert band!!
Steve Mariott was Jimmy Page's first pick for vocals of the New Yard Birds (Led Zeppelin), after he tuned them down, Mick Jones of Spooky Tooth and Foriegner also turned him down, next offer went to Robert Plant whom thankfully accepted but adjusting his vocal style to mimic Steve Mariott. This is where the vocals of rock originates.
Peter Frampton played with Humble Pie for 3 years but left only weeks before the recording of this album.
Steve Mariott's first hit was in 1968 - Lazy Sunday with the Small Faces 👍
I believe another great vocalist Terry Reid was also in the mix for that position before Plant.
@@brada1136 Yes. Reid recommended Plant for the gig. Don't know where this Mick Jones thing is coming from.
Lead singer Stephen Peter Marriott (30 January 1947 - 20 April 1991) was an English musician, songwriter and frontman guitarist of rock bands Small Faces (1965-1968 and 1975-1978) and Humble Pie (1969-1975 and 1979-1983), spanning over two decades. Marriott was inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Small Faces.
Thanks for all the great reactions. Love you guys!!
Saw them at the Fillmore East in NYC. BROUGHT DOWN THE HOUSE🎶🎵🎸
Great group...and the rest Peter Frampton sent solo from them. His "Frampton LIVE" great album!!
Frampton's THE MAN!
Humble Pie, Jeff Beck and Faces pushed nuclear blues/southern rock in your face!
Great reaction yet again, thank you, Jay and Amber. Believe it or not this is a British band, Steve Marriott is your guy.
Great singer and great live band and in concert
Since Rock came out of the South, saying "Southern Rock" is like saying "Rock Rock". 😉
Rock and Roll was originally slang for sex. It originated in 1922 when Trixie Smith recorded My Man Rocks Me With One Steady Roll.
Saw them at Winterland in S.F. in the earyly 70's with Peter Frampton headlining. They were great live.
Humble Pie is my all-time favorite band founded by Peter Frampton who, after years graciously parted way so he could do a solo career. Steve Marriot's voice sends chills. Also check our Roadrunner, Drift Away. Shine on, Black Coffee. There are too many great songs to list but I have to add Big George. If you love harmonica, you absolutely have to check out Whammer Jammer by the J.Geils Band.
Excellent comment Richard!
@@resurrectionwaiting9294 Thank you so much. This is my all-time favorite band.
More like founded by Marriott. Maybe you could call them co founders
Marriott founded the band. Makes no never mind though, they were amazing in all incarnations.
@@IisDeeps My knowledge with the band was that Frampton started the band and it was getting into harder rock, so he parted ways. It really does not' matter, they were great. Thank you, I will check into it more because that is what I always thought.
I saw them live in the Paramount theater in Seattle, and guess who the other guitar player playing lead was? Peter Frampton!
check out "walk on gilded splinters"...this was an old blues song and Steve Marriot was obviously big into the blues.
This is rock ‘n roll don’t right! Doesn’t get any better than this!!
If you love harmonica, you need to check out Whammer Jammer from J Geils band live version. It's incredible and doesn't disappoint, I promise.
BEST LIVE HARMONICA JAM EVER
I see Whammer Jammer and raise you a Hook by Blues Traveler
@@WPerkins I never saw Blues Traveler live. Its hard to forget what I saw and heard from J Geils in Detroit during their prime.
Magic Dick on the lickin' stick. Listen live and loud.
Has to be followed with Hard Drivin Man
English rock band with deep roots in American blues and soul... just awesome. Thanks guys!
Another 70's band that still awaits your first reaction is Foghat: "Slow Ride" (8-minute version), "Fool for the City" "Drivin' Wheel" "Stone Blue" "I Just Want to Make Love to You"
I was just thinking they need to do Slowride.
YES!! I AGREE!! FOGHAT!! 👍😃❣️😃👍
Atlanta Rhythm Section is another one, too.
Foghat great band saw them live twice. Slow ride is a must but must do the long version.The short version was for radio play, and it is missing the fire of the long version. I also love Fool For The City.
Great suggestion!
Saw Humble Pie at MacNicholls arena, Denver 1972. Great band to see live. Steve Marriott was a badass. Unforgettable concert.
'I Don't Need No Doctor' from their 'Peformance: Rockin' the Fillmore' album is a must!
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Hallelujah I love her so, fantastic blues based rock that will amaze you.
Fantastic Ray Charles cover that the Pie made their own. Also love the Ray Charles cover of "I Believe to My Soul"
Great song.. so glad you grooved to it. Check out their song "You're so good for me." Totally bluesy...
For some one different check out Eddie Money. "Two tickets to paradise," If I can walk on water, and Take me home tonight.
You guys are great..
Steve Marriott was the lead singer and guitarist for Small Faces. He left that band to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton. Small Faces replaced Steve with Rod Stewart on vocals and Ronnie Wood on guitar and changed their name to Faces. Ronnie Wood is now playing with the Rolling Stones.
If you like this song then you need to check out the song “all right now” by the band called free. He was very young, 19 I believe. It reminds me a little of this style. I think you’ll love it. Unfortunately he died at age 25.
Chris H
Steve Marriott was actually 44 when he died from a fire. Maybe I misunderstood who you said was 25.
Chris - think you are referring to Paul Kossoff, the guitarist in Free who lost his life at 25. The singer Paul Rodgers after some great songs in Free went on to form Bad Company and is still around today.
@@iancarr8682 Also fronted Queen for a while..
They reacted to that one last year ;)
Oh I was waiting on this 'un. "Hot and Nasty," "I don't need no Doctor," and old school blues-"I Wonder" and I Can't Stand the Rain ( covered by Missy Elliot in the 90's.) My ONLY "Famous" encounter- a friend introduced me to Marriot on my 25th birthday. "Oh, Birthday? We gonna make sure u never forget this birthday!" Him, me and my friends, his HUGE English bodyguard, and band members/crew watched the Sun come up.U right Steve, we never forgot. RIP.
Oh I love it when you folks discover this....
Humble pie for your love acoustic video on RUclips....
You don't have a heartbeat or a soul if you are not moved by this rendition of this song
Humble Pie
Acoustic
For your love
Such a banger! You really MUST listen to "I Don't Need No Doctor" from Performance Rockin' the Fillmore (one of the greatest live albums of all time🤘)
As others noted, the lead singer was the great Steve Marriott, who continues to influence other musicians to this day. He sadly died in a house fire just after returning home to England after recording some new tunes with Peter Frampton in Los Angeles. Marriott was, along with Steve Winwood, Paul Rodgers and Scottish rocker Frankie Miller (you should really listen to him) are among the top blues/rock singers to ever cut songs. There were others (Rod Stewart, James Dewar (ex Robin Trower singer and bass player), but none could top these singes.
Steve Marriott qualifies as blue eyed soul! Try "Hot N Nasty" and "I don't need no doctor".
Oh you guys, now you're talking!!!! I always love some Humble Pie! Steve Marriott had a 10 foot voice in his 5 feet body. ❤💗💋
Y'all should check out slow ride by Foghat, also another great Foghat song you should check out is the live version of Fool for the city. Charlie Huhn the singer/frontman for humble pie was also in Foghat
Slow Ride's a real banger!
One of my all time favorites. When the notification appeared I couldn't get here any faster. Love Y'all ❤
Edit: Black Crowes remind me of Humble Pie
Chris Robinson has named Steve Marriott as one of his heroes
Another vote for "I don't need no doctor" live. So not southern rock, they are OG Brit rockers. Marriott started out with Small Faces (check out Itchy Koo Park), when he left for Humble Pie they got Rod Stewart to replace him and changed their name to Faces.
Small faces was an expression (probably Cockney) for young kids. Part of why they lost the “Small” was because they were getting older.
@@halweiss8671 thanks... Kinda like Little Rascals vice Rascals...
@@halweiss8671 The Small Faces were (along with the Who) the foremost Mod band in east London. Yes, the were small - the tallest was only 5'5", but a "Face" was Mod slang for a very important, very cool Mod about town. You are also right that they were very young when they formed Drummer Kenny Jones was 16, Steve Marriot 17 and Ronnie Lane 18. Ian McLagan joined late and was 20. IMO they were a perfect little band. Talented, creative songwriting, always experimenting and wicked cute!
@@cindyfalstrom7231 thanks for the added info.
@@halweiss8671 my pleasure. loved that band.
Seems that Steve Marriot was a big fan of Booker T & The MGs, Ray Charles, Muddy Waters, Buddy Holly and Miles Davis. Buddy Holly was from Texas, Booker T was from Tennessee. Muddy Waters was a Chicago Blues Man. Steve Marriot's song "Natural Born Bugie" references Creole Queen, Blue Suede Shoes and Memphis. After learning about those influences, I am not surprised that Humble Pie has a Southern Rock Sound. Like Steve, many British Bands (Rolling Stones, The Animals, Led Zeppelin, etc.) also learned about the blues and rock-n-roll from Muddy Waters, Booker T and Buddy Holly.
While Steve was in the Small Faces, he tried to bring Peter Frampton into that band, but the other members of the Small Faces didn't like the idea. Steve started hanging out with Peter and bassist Greg Ridley. Shortly thereafter Steve left the Small Faces and joined Peter and Greg who were starting to get Humble Pie up and running as a band.
🎸😎 "When you're smiling, when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you!" , Joe Goodwin lyric, song by Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and many others. 😀😀😀😀😀
Y'all realize this is a British band ???
Greg Ridley - possibly the most under-rated rock bassist ever.
You should check out their song “Never Been Any Reason.” Also, Black Crowes did a great cover of this song.
EDIT: “Never Been Any Reason” is by Head East, not Humble Pie. You should still definitely react to it.
Never Been any Reason was Head East!
@@samjones2439 Crap! You’re right! Idk how I got that mixed up.
I'll vote for Never Been Any Reason by Head East also.
👊🏼
Head East from Champaign IL! Gotta plug my area. 🤓
Finally this song got a reaction,love this song! The raspyness in there voices fantastic.
You won't go wrong with any track on the Smokin' album.
especially "I Wonder" and "Hot and Nasty"
one of rock's greatest voices
guys you love i dont need no doctor
Jason Ricci has a cover of Lou Reed's "Walk on the wild side" here on youtube with a harminica solo that gives the biggest chill bumps. He is crazy great blues harmonica player.
Steve Marriott ahead of his time just incredible. He has another video when he's older playing blues it's incredible.
Five long Years!! Yes, an amazing song and showed his,guitar skills.
This was always a favorite 🤩👵👍👍❤️
They were big for awhile, but should have been way bigger. The grit of this band is uncomparable.
If I recall correctly, Peter Frampton came out of this band.
HE DID!
Yep, and Charlie Huhn of Foghat came from Humble Pie also
You recall correctly.
7.23.22. Greg Ridley came from Spooky Tooth™️, and played bass for Humble Pie 🥧🎸🇬🇧
Smokin' & Rock on are just classic Humble pie albums , Great songs to try ...Hot & Nasty , C'mon Everybody , I Don't need no doctor , Shine on , Stone cold fever , 79th & sunset , Sour grain , Road runner G jam , Four day creep, & for Rob if you like Slow heavy blues with great vocals harmonica etc. Listen to I Wonder , Rollin stoned , Strange days
Saw them twice back in the day .Got tossed off the stage if I remember correctly 🥰🥰💘💘😍😍
Something interesting to note. Bassist Greg Ridley was a baritone singer! Terrific fellow.
My 2 year old daughter said that you two are "really really cute"! I guess we have to sub now. Keep it up guys, we absolutely love it!
This is her favorite song btw.
Humble Pie was the 1st concert I ever went to in NYC. It was in the early 70’s. Peter Frampton was only 17 at the time. It was in a small park.
I saw Humble Pie on July 21, 1973 at the Milwaukee Summerfest and a riot broke out.
Steve Marriot and Jerry Shirley reformed Humble Pie around 1980, put out an album On To Victory and had a good single Fool For A Pretty Face.
Listen to "Shine On" and "Stone Cold Fever" next, Steve Marriott had a great rock voice.
Great react as usual. The late Steve Marriott (d. 1991) was a Southern English Rocker but the similarities are understandable. Definitely worth continuing to react to and enjoy. Like other comments: "I don't need no doctor", "Fool for a pretty face" though many others to list would be a good beginning foundation. So many groups, so little time. Keep on. Truly enjoy watching y'all. Even my wife likes watching y'all and she doesn't really like watching reaction videos but has said great things about some of the videos she has seen on your You Tube channel. At 57 years, about 90% of what is presented is the soundtracks of our lives, guys my age. Your responses are sort of how we felt hearing these songs for the first time way back in the day. Stay Blessed!!!!!
I'm colin 16 I'm from oklahoma as well. Stephen Marriott is the name of the lead singer. He was also in the huge 60s group 'The Sall Faces. You've heard his high pitched voice you need to check out The small faces 'Yoi Need Lovin' that was the song that inspired Led Zeppelin to write Whole Lotta Love. Stephen Marriott can get high and low.
My first Concert was Humble Pie, 10 Years After!
