I would kill hundreds to have his voice!

[Glamrock]

I'm pretty damn good at what I do. I've had people taking notes on my abilities as a front man at gigs (that's no shit). But damn! I'd kill to have Steve Marriott's voice!

1. If you're even giggin' in AZ for sure lemme know!

Allow me also add ... how the fuck have I never known that Peter Frampton is English? Completely trips me out that I never realized that.

And yeah, Steve was a pretty damn good singer ... good player too.

As an singer in an alt-rock band or two during my lifetime ... Jeff Buckley or Chris Cornell would be my Steve Marriott.

2. Chris Cornell was mine too!

Then I discovered the Black Crowes and LSD! And have been digging backwards ever since!

[Glamrock]

3. And shit man

If I'm in AZ for any reason, I'll let you know. Hell, your screen name alone deserves a drink on me!

7. Right on brother!

9. And if you find yourself in Chicago or Indy.....

4. He's one of the best, that's for sure

Maybe we'll be saying the same about you in a few years, Glam!

5. SHIT!

Don't I wish!

6. Iggy Pop and Steve didnt get along at all. Even had a couple of dust ups.

I saw Iggy recounting this on a documentary titled”The Life and Times of Steve Marriott” or something to that effect.
And he says “But I’d have given anything to have his voice.”
And goes on to say,quietly,”And his looks.”

8. Funny thing

I've been compared to a young Iggy Pop most of my adult life...

11. Yeah. He should have been right with the greatest English rockers.

The Rock and Roll H of F did a little finagling to get him in a few years ago. The support wasn’t there for Humble Pie so they inducted The Faces, Rod Stewart’s backup group.
Steve had never played for the Faces but had played for the Small Faces. So with that very slim thread Steve made it into the H of F.
I’m sure a few of his contemporaries saw the injustice, righted it, and the induction focused mainly on Steve.

12. Just came across this and want to correct for posterity

The Small Faces were indeed inducted along with the Faces. They never should have been lumped together, what with the Small Faces being the truly influential band, but Steve was inducted as a Small Face. Rod didn't show for ceremony, probably because he didn't relish the thought of singing a Small Faces tune or two and risk comparison to a young Marriott, who was probably the greatest white soul singer ever.

Humble Pie will never be inducted.
