  • Has anyone posted the Ogdens version of this??

  • Our dead are never dead to us until they are forgotten x r i p Steve and Ronnie

  • Thumbs up for your video pal....it pays proper tribute to this unbelievable man....

  • my very first lovesong...Al.

  • So, I listen to classic rock: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc. I heard the first track of this album used in the GTA V trailer and decided to check it out, thinking it was some modern track released a few years ago. I wikipedia'd the song and was shocked to learn it was recorded in 1968. I decided to listen to the album.

  • Ive never seen a musican smile more than Ronnie Laine

  • GTA V

  • Came here because of the GTA V trailer.

    mother of god, this is fucking amazing

  • @Heithlar its not the same song.

  • @artsykilla I know, but found out The Small Faces thanks to Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.

  • One of the very best records ever!

    Superb band

  • the most under rated band in England ever

  • Fabuloso tema. La letra y sobre todo su música. 40 años no son nada no ?

    Plena vigencia hoy y sobre todo me encanta que este tema y este grupo le guste mucho a uno de mis hijos. Repito........que son 40 años para una canción, no ?

  • Fantastic song.

    

  • It's unbelieavable how geat British music has been from 1963 onwards...and this is regarded as a minor band. Christ, some of the great bands that erupted had members that were born & lived within 20 miles of oneanother.

  • Small Faces-the greatest group ever bar none

  • wow.....I miss this great band and a great era

  • One of my favourites and one of the most inspiring songs ever.  Thanks for uploading.

  • coolest song ever-everything else pales in comparison-

  • a band who went out and made music not trying to be anything but themselves unlike so many other bands!

  • Steve had such a brilliant voice and so much soul.

  • this song deserved much more than #36

  • This song is so good that I start to cry.

  • Great ban vastly underplayed!

    

  • my opinion * the best single from Small Faces * but in the charts not in top 10

    stupid people

  • I still can't understand why most hard rock fans do not know about Steve... he had an incredible voice

  • Play this LOUD!.. and stick the middle finger through the eye hole if somebody knocks on your door and complains! :P

  • @Terrilliser Those eye holes are designed not to let the person from outside see in.... Tis a tune though!

  • As underated as you can get in popular music.

  • @Fab4Mitchum I'm not sure they're so much underated as under-exposed. The vast majority of people who are exposed to them appreciate their greatness. Even kids today. I've got a 12 year old who makes me play Itchycoo Park on the way to school 4 days out of 5 and I'm happy to oblige. ("why go to learn the words of fools?" She shouts that line.) So they aren't rated poorly; they're just not as widely known as they should be.

  • Love, love, love this song. Flo and Eddie did a good cover of this one.

  • very lovely

  • One of the best songs ever made.

  • lovely song!!

    The Quiet Riot cover is cool too.

  • It's the organ playing that really makes this song standout - good as the vocals are. It is why the SF's sounded so distinctive on these songs. Mac gets overlooked, a curse of having 2 talented frontmen I suppose...

  • @anthonythirteen 100% in agreement. Mac's organ is the magic that pulls together most Small Faces tunes and gives them that very distinctive SF sound, despite the fact that they covered so many different genres of popular music. Kenney Jones has an interesting way of describing it; he said Mac joining the band for him was like the band came in from being outside in the cold and got in front of a warm fireplace.

  • @gropingwithastoker Love this metaphor. In a sense, like The Who, the SF seemed to follow a diferent path from Cream, Hendrix etc. (or even the Beatles) by not having a 'lead guitarist' as such. Townsend & Marriott were great in their style (& Marriott had a hell of a voice) but no 15 min guitar solos. It thereby showcased the group as a whole unit.

  • @anthonythirteen Look what happened to the Faces with Rod Stewart. They're considered his back up band today. Some credit must be given to Marriott here, because although he's alleged to have been a bit of control freak and we know he was later dismissive of Ronnie's contributions, he never musically "took over", and as such, the band was truly a unit of four equal parts. Maybe this is why he left. He wanted to change direction, but he didn't want to dominate and force it on the others.

  • @gropingwithastoker Difference was that Rod had been developing a solo career before teaming up with Ronnie & the boys. In many respects, whilst an interesting association, I couldn't see Rod wanting to step back into being just 'the singer'. We all have egos, bigger than we'd like to admit to, which includes Ronnie L. It's just a real shame personally that Ronnie couldn't grit his teeth & cash in on those last, lucrative world tours before splitting.

  • @anthonythirteen Ronnie was a real musician, not 'just a singer' like Rod. Any musician knows what I'm talking about. Singers who don't play an instrument are a different breed than those who do. Ego is a small word for what a pain in the arse they can be! Watching these videos now, having grown up with Rod's voice and liking it, I would so rather watch Ronnie with his sheer love of music than Rod and all his posturing 'look at me' crap.

  • Für Alexia.......

    

  • Sorry...they may have done it first (and for that I'm appreciative), but Flo & Eddie's version is SO much better.

  • @jondamore1 Yeah right.... No one even comes close to doing it better, that's just crazy talk.

  • Make's you MOD for it!  NICE

  • i love this so much!

  • They have my vote for best band ever.

  • hauting absolute brilliance

  • True enzepplin..true..,they don't make music like this today 2011

  • Everybody that agrees with me, that Steve had the greatest voice,go on the website to vote him to the Hall of Fame!

  • A truly remarkable talent, and all this from a former child actor in early 60's films

  • SCAREY - This is So Honest and Raw. No Junk or Hype. Tin Soldier is Great but this must be their Finest? What a Group.

  • @clivegoodwill Check their cover of 'You Really Got a Hold On me'. Thats fantastic. This is probably better but yeah amazing group.

  • always sad to see that some people see fit to dislike quality like this, makes me wonder what they listen to in order to have such an opinion.

  • Check out Ashley and Karl Duet 2 and let me know what you think.

  • Greatest 'morning after' song ever?

  • Why didnt ANY ARSEHOLE film this Group track in action, elderly fuckwits

  • Amazing - none of the band were great musicians but put together some of the best 60s pop tunes ever. Stevie Marriott had the best blues voice ever.. If I ever get depressed "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake " does the trick.. I saw an Oz bloke (Tim Rodgers) do a great version on :"song for a baker" (Google this plus Rockwiz) Thanks for keeping the memory alive, the most under rated band of the 60s

  • You're not wrong. I saw him in Humble Pie - Newcastle on Tyne - possibly 79 or 80. Greatest voice ever

  • Man when he sings "Love has come tou touch my soul" the hairs on the back of my neck stand up...The guy was another law of nature. Pure talent!

  • Love it 

  • Goonerette may support the wrong team but her taste in music is escellent

  • @johnmc128 excellent even lol

  • the small faces afterglow of your love about 130,000 views

    justin bieber baby over 363,000,000 views

    REALITY IS A BITCH!

  • @uhprah Lack of taste & intelligence certainly is. 

  • @uhprah who's justin bieber? :))

  • @uhprah Yes and most of those are probably young girls who know nothing about real music and talent.

  • Love it .....Thanks for uploading.....cheers

  • Amazing - one of the most powerful love songs ever recorded. The bass on this (posted) one is a little light; the bass on the original is deeper.

  • iutuber/hiribarrondo. if we could only sing half as good as mr marriot we would all be loaded. however it's for the love of the music of the small faces that counts. we ara mods, ally from hamilton

  • Superb!

  • I heard a cover of this song, but it can hardly hold a candle to the original. I love this, I truely do.

  • Whoa seven people do actually dislike this, wow.. ??? I think that this is possibly my favourite SF song. I could stare at Steve as much as I could listen to him and that's saying something lol

  • Well i feel in heaven hearing this again,,,,,,,so full of love......

  • Flo & Eddie covered this...but this version is better...

  • My favorite band is the Grateful Dead, I like their older music. But I saw a video a member made on youtube featuring some of the Small Faces music and I love it, great stuff.

  • The Voice Of The 60's

  • mijn favoriete song

  • Does music get any better than this. SUPERB..........

  • @nutsonthe70s No, it really gets no better than this.

    Someone please explain to me why the Small Faces aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They've been eligible for induction since '91 - the year Stevie died - and haven't been nominated once.

  • yo no quiero ser como todos los demas, por eso soy un mod

  • I'm a singer myself and pretty much thought I could do anything vocally. Then I tried to sing this. You don't realise how high it is, but he's still in his normal range. Steve hit's every note cleanly, even the runs during the middle 8 are crystal. It's near impossible to sound so crystal and still have that husk which is sexy. Robert Plant has the same, but I think even he would have problems with this song.

  • @STColeridge22 Jimmy wanted Steve for Zep, but, as fate would have it, we got Robert for it... two of the best vocalists ever, for sure.

  • @STColeridge22 Robert Plant, Steve Marriot and Paul Rodgers are my top 3. Phenomenal voices all three of them. Plant has lost his range and God rest Steve's soul but if you have listened to Paul Rodgers lately, the man still has it.

  • MY FAVE S.F SONG....!

  • Jenny Rylance, Steve's ex, quoted this as one of her favourite songs by Steve.

  • Its amazing that these guys still sound as fresh now as when they started. Steve Ian, Kenney and Mrs Lanes youngest!!! Far better than so much of the crap around today, God bless you fellas, Mods rule, see you in Toppers when you're buying your new shoes, we'll go for a wimpy later!!!

  • Faultless - completely perfect. Musical brilliance!

  • This was years ahead of it's time! Well that's grass for you - see into the immediate future! lol

    The SMALL Faces wrote the album Ogden's Nut Gone Flake before anybody had smoked enough to come up with a "concept album"

  • Excellent picture show and the song is great, but this recording is speeded up, so it's a bit sharp and a bit fast!.

  • Just brilliant!!!Love them to bits!!!!Thanks for posting!!x

  • Check out "The Selection Box" version of Afterglow,,,,,One of the most underated rock classics of all time!!!

  • One of the best songs in history.

  • I couldn't agree with ya more fuffybunny. I think i'm actually addicted to this band at the minute!! They're amazing........

  • Merci pour cette chanson inoubliable

  • Thanks a million! These guys kicked ass, in the mid '60s, when most bands were playing pop (O.K. nothing wrong with that), but this band together with The Who and a few others, kept ballsy melodic rock alive; they did their own thing, when it wasn't fashionable. Major respect for that kind if courage and artistic vision. This stuff still sends shivers down my spine. Just excellent compositions and pure musical talent.

  • fuck jimmy page too, hmm, how much music did led zeppelin steal?

  • Zeppelin wasn't the only band to "steal" the blues.....They just got richer than anyone else doing it .

  • they didnt just steal the blues, all of their music stolen, blues or not. Led Zeppelin is just a rip off of the bands spirit and the small faces. even stairway to heaven is ripped offed

  • that is old news , my man . And no , some of Zeppelin's music was some of the most original , inspired rock ever produced . Tell me , who were Zep ripping off when they made the Physical Graffitti album ? Or Presence? They were derivative at first , but they evolved into something quite original

  • its really not old news, because im pretty sure a bunch of people dont know who steve marriot is much less the band spirit, who im pretty sure you've never heard of. and if you actually like led zeppelin then that tells me that you dont know much about music, they're good for business, thats it. its the 70's- nothin but a good time.even communication breakdown is a rip. they stole their sound and made it their own and sold the shit out of it.whatever.

  • you'd be hard pressed to find any band from the 60's or 70's who were worth a damn that I have not heard of .Not that Spirit were worth a damn .I have a good idea as to where you get your info .You go on with your crusade to inform the world of those blasted plagiarists. Maybe you can put an end to such atrocities.

  • haha, thats funny. get on my level, you don't know what music is.

  • just go back and listen to dave grohl and pearl jam brah

  • that I will , joe cool

  • @Tecumseh1812 thank you. bobbyp1214's comments were starting to piss me off. one can appreciate Zep, one can appreciate the Small Faces. don't have to choose one over the other. these people seem to forget that Jimmy Page wanted Steve as the Zep vocalist, but, destiny had other plans. and, when Ronnie Lane was sick and not getting any Small Faces money, Jimmy was one of the people who helped pay for his care.  Zep and the Small Faces were friends.

  • @jenzeppelin Right on and thanks for your great comment. If you really know music you never have to chose between bands. Good Is Good. The crap that is passing for music right now will fall by the wayside and be forgotten. Rock on Keep this music and all great music alive by turning new people on to it. Those that experience life get to really live life. Keep on Rocking.

  • @jenzeppelin Yeah Don Arden ( Sharon Osborne's Father) ripped off the Small Faces and many other acts of that period. The musicians of that time all hung out and appreciated each others art. Now all you hear is rappers using freaking autotune callin each other out as if they ever had even one original thought. Music today is a shell of what it once was.

  • @karlforston I know all about Don, makes me so sad and mad...I agree with what you said 100% about music!

  • @karlforston Though, like everything else, hip-hop was also once fresh and interesting.

  • @Tecumseh1812 Every musician alive is influenced by other musicians. It's the nature of the medium. There are only so many notes to to the scale. A wise friend of mine once stated. It's the not the notes you play that set you apart. It's the silence inbetween the notes that separate you from every one else.

  • Comment removed

  • All they did was replace native americans with celts and called it new. Innovative, perhaps but then I wouldn't call anything under the sun completely original. I just don't but into the who occult aspect. I'm partial more to Charlie Daniels in that.

  • *whole

  • fuck robert plant, he's a theif

  • thats right, but Ozzy Osborn s "father in Law" threatened to Break little jimmy s fingers if he succeeded in obtaining Marriott.

  • Does anyone here realise steve was approached by jimmy page to join led zeppelin long before robert plant

  • In a decade during which pop music reached an absolute apogee, the Small Faces achieved mod hero status. Great, great stuff, well worth seeking out on vinyl or CD.

  • dam good record ,,the best!!!

  • goddam he is/has THE VOICE.

  • @iutuber1 I was born in 1965, and grew up with punk's 'year zero' aproach to music, but I love the Small Faces. So much better than The Who.

    If I ever get married (which to be fair, is pretty unlikely) this is the song I want playing. Or maybe Tin Soldier...

  • Listen to Good Times by The Easybeats. Steve was mates with them and stands out in the backing vocals.

  • You made a fantastic video, thanks for sharing.

  • Pure musical genius. period.

  • The closing minute or so of the later Beatles song You Never Give Me Your Money sound a little bit like certain instrumental parts from this song which was released earlier on in 1969. I think Afterglow (of your love) is a great song and the Small Faces also did arguably my favourite version of If I were a carpenter.

  • Steve Mariott - I love his voice.

  • If my singing voice sounded like this...

    I'd never talk. Pure Quality!

  • Fanfuckintastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • great band, the best pop/soul bands of all time, disagree about the who comment though lexo 30, the who was number 1 ace, I have had the pleasure of seen both bands in the 1960,s, when the who was bad they was pretty good, but when the small faces was bad they was bad, my perfect mod/ pop soul sixties band would have been the who, but with steve marriott singing, daltrey on rhythm guitar and the greatest Sir Pete Townshend on rhythm smash chord lead guitar, plonk lane on ambient bass, the who.

  • Which of the boys is on drums?

  • Kenny Jones. He later replaced Keith Moon with the Who when Moon passed away. Not a real surprise considering Townshend and Moon were regulars at Small Faces shows.

  • Oh, I know who Kenny is. I was wondering which of the two would be chosen for the super-bamd.

  • With all due respect to Mr Jones my money would be on Keith Moon or John Bonham.

  • Haha, could you imagine Bonzo with that lot? Hahaha. He'd be lost. He'd need Jonesy along. Very forceful rythm section.

  • Daltry forced Kenny Jones out of the Who

  • One of me Faves. Still Have a lot of their vinyl.

    Bought a Remastered Japanese Odgens a couple of years ago....Perfect mix!! Find it on Amazon.

  • Is it the mini album replica? Got that and the Sanctuary 3 CD tin. Great stuff!

  • Yes exact Replica & Mix-just sharper definition, the way a remaster should be.

  • Favourite bit: Kenney Jones's insane drum fill at 2:50-2:52

  • A great, great song.  As tough as anything by The Who, but much warmer.

  • what a voice , one of the choice bands of their time Im glad the music is still around

  • There was a long dormant popularity that took ages to reemerge for this group. There was I time I couldn't find very many of their albums except for scratchy second hand ones. It seemed everything was out of print - including Ogden's.

    Finally, in the late 80s with the CD revolution, their stuff began to return to the shelves. Now their music is so prominent in the record shops there's just too much to buy!

    Long ago, I didn't realise I was one amongst such a large silent army of fans.

  • 19 years old brought up to this band

    amazing best vocalist of 60s

    we are the mods

  • Thank you for the post. This is one of the most according artworks to this song i've ever seen.

    Yeah, I've been to the age when Single-Covers were denominations.

    Gives me goosebumps. Doctorhackenbush, you're a fellow illuminate :)

  • had a girl that time, oh boy, what a cutie she was, we played that song day and night.

  • Just great great great ... fuckin great

  • How much better does music get than this? Just listen to that monstrous Hammond sound!

  • I'm in Heaven, I'm in heaven, please don't show me the door I want to stay here for ever. They are the Mod band that put rock into London.

  • this is the song my husband and i had for our wedding 15 years ago today, i still love it

  • i saw them live many many years ago and still love all there music

  • This is one great song. It has every thing, great vocalist,guitarist, keyboards, bass and drums not mention lyrics

  • Thank you for putting this out there doctorhackenbusch. I'm 56 and the faces are better than anything around today.

  • High youngster. I'm 57. Still rocking.

  • I love this song Steve Marriot had a fantastic voice,NEVER get tired of listening to his songs

  • holy shit I didnt know marriot was in the Faces. Man he was great with the Pie too.

  • Saw him live, blows you away !

  • Hello - he wasn't in the Faces. He was the founder/co-founder of THE SMALL FACES. When he left the Small Faces to form HUMBLE PIE with Peter Frampton - the remaining Small Faces drafted in Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood to form THE FACES. Steve was absolutely brilliant as were the rest of the Small Faces band. Check out all their stuff - Steve's voice can't be beaten even today. I saw them live in 1965!!

  • A GENUINE CLASSIC!

    passion, energy, soul.. one of the all time great rock bands and with the best rock/blues/soul singer the UK has ever produced!

    Mr Steve Marriott!

    eat yer heart out planty ... heehee

    Rock on Stevie boy!

    Peace.

  • i COULD NEVER GET TIRED OF HEARING STEVE MARRIOT SING. THIS IS ANOTHER CLASSIC!

  • Such a Fantastic Song!!! 5*s Thanks mission & doc....Anita...

  • Ahhhh!!! The memories come flooding back - Mindblowin' Song - Thank You !!!

  • What a tune.A good ol happy rocker !

  • There are only two singers for me....Free were pretty good too! Saw Marriott in a pub in the Oval in the 1908s with a crowd in single figures...what a waste!

  • STEVE MARRIOT - the best vocalist of the 60s without a doubt

  • Priceless classic. Marriott's voice sends chills down my spine everytime I hear this song. Found myself listening to it in the car 5 times in a row the other day, and breaking my vocal chords in the process !!!

  • This is my favourite song of all time! :D Always wondered how it only made it to #34 in the charts, proper should have been a chart topper!
