Alexis Korner & Steve Marriott - Diamonds in the Rough (A Capella) 1975

[sixstringsdown67]

Steve has to sing away from the mike ... just to loud

[TheQuartzoKeyboard]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[1968tjg]

There are many..many...many reasons why Steve is my musical hero and this is just one of them...Steve was a real diamond taken far to soon.

How could a voice like that come out of such a tiny human being? Small face, massive vocals.

April 20, 1991.. Rest easy Steve Marriott.

[BallGinBob]

Fuck me! That's why drugs worked in 1975! Awfully awesome! Steve Tyler called... And forgot!

Poor Alexis just didn't stand a chance here did he? Marriott just rolls right over him like a coal train from West Virginia! Even up against the wall Marriott was beyond amazing " I Like It"... yeah I do diamond in the rough indeed - God I miss Marriott ...

[Babyhowdy233]

Me too :'(

[juliejazz]

Yeah, Alexis gets props for singing with Steve. Few were that brave. Marriott basically terrified his contemporaries. 2:34 explains it all.

[freekoss]

Thanks in advance

Marriott a capella - GREAT- thanks for uploading, you made my day :-)

I had a BIG smile on my face watching this.

Steve was a funny guy.

[Babyhowdy233]

I'm not too thrilled with Korner's singing here, but Steve Marriott is just (as always) FANTASTIC! I wish Marriott had sung this ALONE,lol!

(continued)

When Jesus comes to claim us

And says it is enough

The diamonds will be shining

No longer in the rough

[fritz51300]

Thank you for the title of this song and the lyrics

[Babyhowdy233]

This is the classic AP Carter (the Carter Family) song:"Diamonds in the Rough". Here are the correct lyrics: While walking out, one evening Not knowing where to go Just to pass the time away Before we held our show I heard a little mission band Playing with all their might I gave my soul to Jesus And left the show that night The day will soon be over And evening will begone No more gems to be gathered So let us all press on
