Following Marriott's death in a house fire in 1991, the song was played as the requiem at his funeral. [5] In popular culture [ edit ] a b c Roberts, David (2006).

Marriott’s white soul masterpiece finally revealed the full scope of the influential band’s powers.

According to Kay Marriott, Steve's mother, Steve wrote this song about his split with ex-fiancée Sue Oliver, though first wife Jenny Rylance states that Marriott told her he wrote the song for her as a result of her split with Rod Stewart. Both statements are said to be correct.

And theirs is a legacy which lives on – raw and soulful music which inspired a whole new generation of stars including Paul Weller and The Jam, Oasis, Blur, The Verve, Ocean Colour Scene, and The Arctic Monkeys. Not to mention millions of fans.The song was recorded at IBC Studios in Portland Place, London. It appears on the Decca album From the Beginning. A live version is found on the BBC Sessions album. The song was also a major hit in both the Netherlands, where it reached number two and Ireland, where it reached number three. It was also the first song by the Small Faces to chart in the Republic of Ireland, as " Whatcha Gonna Do About It", " Sha-La-La-La-Lee" and " Hey Girl" all failed to do so. Lulu " Don't Answer Me" / Alan Price Set " Hi-Lilli Hi-Lo" / Small Faces " All or Nothing" / Jonathan King " Just Like a Woman" A nettle-infested Little Ilford Park in Manor Park, a wasp-filled Valentine's Park in Ilford or Wanstead Flats in Wanstead... no-one can quite agree of the location of the "real" Itchycoo Park, but everyone can agree that it's one of the very best songs of the 1960s. Never best served by their initial paymasters, the Small Faces suffered from slipping through the mesh. Sure, they did receive a posthumous Ivor Novello Outstanding Contribution to British Music – aka Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996, but that really was a case of ‘too little, too late’. There is fantastic achievement about them, also an awful tragedy. Both Marriott and Lane died far too young. At best they aspired to the heights, and easily reached those of The Who, The Kinks, The Move, and dare one say; The Beatles, yet for reasons beyond their control they were never given their just reward.

Despite the fact that they were together only four years, Small Faces' music output from the mid- to late sixties remains as notable as any British beat and psychedelic music of that era. AllMusic refers to them as "the best English band never to make it big in America". [3] They received the Ivor Novello Outstanding Contribution to British Music "Lifetime Achievement" award in 1996. [4] [5] Albums [ edit ] Studio albums [ edit ] Title The self-titled debut was brilliant, critics were amazed, but after erratic mismanagement, we got to hear From The Beginning, the second Small Faces disc, the classic Ogden’s Nut Gone Flakeand The Autumn Stone – albums whose overriding influence on every aspect of so-called Britpop cannot be ignored. I’ve got what I wanted, which is just enough money to live on, in no great style but a nice way, and to have some respect from other musicians and play the pubs and clubs, where the music’s still real.” It's obviously another drug song ("I got high!"), but Marriott and then-Small Faces manager Tony Calder that it was actually just about fun times playing in an East End wasteground as kids, and they somehow got away with it.a b "Small Faces Chart History | Billboard". 19 May 2019.
