Say No More To Steve Marriott
I can't remember the fist time I heard Humble Pie, it must have been some lucky chance. But ever since they have become one of my favorite groups from the 60's and 70's. I love Steve Marriot's voice, its so strong and heavy, coming from such a small stature of a man as he only stood 5'4'' tall. It must have been amazing to be at a Small faces concert and watch Steve just wail on the guitar or a Humble Pie concert and see him belt out these old blues and soul tunes from such a small size of a man. But when you heard him sing and closed your eyes Marriott was a monster of a man with that voice. In this vidio I picked one of his more softer songs, an acoustic tune recorded at the BBC sessions of a song he just wrote that day. Marriott on ukulele and clem clemson accompanying him on acoustic guitar. Its a beautiful song, its rare to see Steve not taking full charge of the stage, covering every inch of it. He was an amazing showman, always putting on a great show for the crowd. Listen to the song and be blown away by the raw talent of Steve Marriotts songwriting.
