It's telling from the comments the love and high regard Steve Marriott has still got. I saw him in '84 at Portsmouth Guildhall half full with old fans and mods, he got everyone down front and was excellent, sadly missed.
I saw him in ‘88 in a his pub band across the road from the Oval. Wearing dungarees, a voice that belied his small stature. Humble [sic] as. A rare privilege for me, not least because of his untimely tragic death. Only the good die young. The original Ar’ful Dodger’, inn’t. Even makes receding hairline look cool. Also saw Paul Jones with his The Blues Band in some outta the way dancehall few months before. Saw Bob Geldof with Boomtown Rats in Wellington (old) Town Hall in early eighties. This is one helluva nostalgia trip down memory lane for me. By the way, I want to have PP’s babies. … and I never knew PP was an Ikette. Huge pipes that Tina. Best stuff she ever sung was with Ike.
Thanks.That was great!👍👍I felt sorry for Steve though when Rod Stewart and Peter Frampton were shown. They became huge stars and he was left behind. Best vocalist in the world imho. RIP STEVE MARRIOTT ♥️💓💞💕❣️
As much as I loved Steve there was a certain karma to his lack of success. He dumped on his mates Kenny, Ronnie and Mac after Ogden's Nut ect. The SF'S could have been huge after that album, but Steve chose to split the band and none of them had the success they could have had if they had stuck together.
@@RicTic66 No they weren't making any money for starters, (thanks to the mismanagement of their finances by D. Arsehole Arden) and he wanted a more raw blues sound. The others didn't want to change much. So he moved on to Humble Pie. When Rod came in their hits were few and more pop /soft rock but then Rod used them as backing for his career soaring solo efforts. Their biggest success was with Paul's _Maybe I'm Amazed_ so they lucked out in a percentage of the royalties on that one. It's such a shame that Ronnie Wood didn't team up with Steve in the Small Faces because he is a brilliant blues guitarist.
Poor old Steve. His lovely ex flame across the room from him, his insanely famous ex-band mate Peter Frampton as one of the answers, and one of Humble Pie's old opening acts David Bowie. What a fucken head spin this must have been for him.
Hopefully he did not care. Have you/others here read www.amazon.co.uk/Steve-Marriott-All-Too-Beautiful/dp/1905139276 - an expensive self indulgent present. I just love his infectious energy/Lane & going it alone. Melvin much less so. Gonna do a very loud drive by in nearby Arksdon of Tin Soldier on the 30th Jan.
@@stephaniepemberton6262 Me too. Still listen to the Small Faces everyday. Don't know what it is about Steve Marriott, but I have to get my Steve M fix everyday, even after all these years.
I love when the panelists can’t guess Frampton’s monster hit song name, you can hear Marriott yell in the background (@21:33), “It’s called ‘I’ve Got A Million Dollars!” Love his sense of humor.
@@PatriotSteve He wasn't happy about never having made money from records as others took the profits, but he also said in 1987 that he didn't want to be a "rich kid" and just needed enough to make a living from working which is why he preferred gigging live in pubs and clubs.
But imagine what the questions would be like....which one direction star went on to blah blah .......or who collaborated with lil' dick on party party blah blah
I recently read somewhere an interview with Jerry Shirley. He says that the day of BandAid, Their band "Packet of Three" was in a hotel somewhere in Europe watching the show on TV. He said Steve wasn't upset at not being there and that they all agreed to donate the evenings earnings to the BandAid charity. People always say "poor Steve", playing in pubs and small venues, but from what I've read, he was quite happy. Steve never was interested in being a big star, just wanted to keep playing the music and entertaining the people. Bless him...
I can't understand why the presenter of the show named all the those artists PP Arnold sang with but forgot to mention Steve who was sitting right there.
Oh he certainly knew about Mike Read pulling "Relax" off air (prior to the BBC deciding to ban it anyway), the notoriety of it sent it up to number one. Mike said in _Smash Hits_ (having been voted 6th Biggest Prat of the Year by their readers in their annual Winners' Poll due to the whole farrago) that he got on well with the band but he wouldn't play "Relax" on his shows (on radio, or _Pop Quiz_ and _Saturday Superstore_ on television) because they were all aimed at family audiences. However, Mike did play "Two Tribes" and "The Power of Love" on his radio show (and "Two Tribes" was featured in a question in the previous series of _Pop Quiz),_ and the band certainly never held a grudge otherwise Holly wouldn't have agreed to appear on the show (same also applies to Holly's bandmate Nasher in the Christmas edition).
My second after Paul ‘The Voice’ Roger. But for sheer passion and range, yup, no.1. But bonus is PP Arnold who was female ‘backup’ vocalist on Steve’s The Small Faces ‘Little Tin Soldier’.Her voice is what made that song their signature song.
LOL that's true. It's also true that his wife Pam said that he singed off the front on his hairline while trying to light a pilot in a gas oven which exploded in his face. Maybe that's it. However, if you look at photos when he was young, it looks like he was hiding a high forehead under those bangs. I've noticed that his very beautiful daughter, Mollie, also has a very high forehead.
Was that a wrong answer on the singles from Thriller question? Read said six, but it's seven. Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat It, PYT, Human Nature, Wanna Be Starting Something, and The Girl is Mine. All were released prior to this being recorded too.
As anyone noticed most comments on here are about steve marriott because he's a real personality not false and can cut it as a live performer vocaly and guitar player legend,
How can you NOT recognize Johnny Cash's voice! Oh well, guess some people don't know SUN records. But seriously... Johnny's voice is pretty distinct like Willy Nelson's or Elvis Presley's. I must be spoiled musically. 🥴
I just finished PP's autobiography. Seems that back in the "swinging 60's" she hooked up with quite a few famous artists. First Mick, then Steve, Jimi Hendrix, Rod Stewart (ironic since Steve married Rod's ex Jenny), and believe it or not a much younger Andy Gibb. Quite a desirable lady.
