Steve Marriott - to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Published October 9, 2009

Stephen Peter Marriott (30 January 1947 - 20 April 1991), popularly known as Steve Marriott, was a successful and versatile English singer-songwriter, guitarist and musician. He is best remembered for his powerful singing voice which belied his small stature and for his aggressive guitar playing in the rock groups the Small Faces (1965-1969) and Humble Pie (1969-1975 and 1980-1981).

\\\\\\\"He (Marriott) was certainly the most talented person I ever worked with. He was like a brother to me and I was devastated when he died. He always lived on the edge and I was always waiting for a \\\\\\\'phone call to say that he had died but I never dreamed it would be under those circumstances. He\\\\\\\'s never got the credit he deserves. He should be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame because he was the greatest white soul singer that England ever produced. I\\\\\\\'m certain that if you caught the likes of Rod Stewart and Paul Rodgers in a private moment and asked them who was the main man, they would say, Steve Marriott.\\\\\\\" - Jerry Shirley
Throughout his career, Marriott helped out on other peoples\\\\\\\' records vocally, instrumentally, and as producer:
\\\\\\\"Seamus\\\\\\\" on Pink Floyd\\\\\\\'s album Meddle - Marriott\\\\\\\'s dog Seamus made a notable appearance in the song.
Easybeats - provided vocals on their single \\\\\\\"Good Times\\\\\\\" from the LP Vigil in 1968.
Bill Wyman invited Marriott to play guitar and backing vocals on the recording of Their Satanic Majesties Request album, on the track \\\\\\\"In Another Land\\\\\\\", in Brian Jones\\\\\\\' absence.
PP Arnold - Marriott wrote and produced \\\\\\\"If You Think You\\\\\\\'re Groovy\\\\\\\" - along with Lane and the other members of Small Faces.
Joe Brown - collaborated on the singer/entertainer\\\\\\\'s song \\\\\\\"Tin Soldier\\\\\\\"
New York Dolls guitarist Johnny Thunders - appeared on recordings.
