Ms beakie What is it an album or tape dvd what? Was this a musical play or tape only to listen too?

[MrBlueMarriott]

@MsBeakie The only thing available is an audio recording, as far as I know. He was in the West End stage production around this time, but I don't think there's any video from it. I got the recording on the Steve Marriott Anthology, which is a 3 CD set. I also have it on vinyl, on the Oliver soundtrack.

Stevie Marriot prepares himself to be a God Of British Blues.

There are several Oliver! soundtracks. This is from the first one recorded in 1960. Steve, BTW, didn't play the Dodger all that often, he was usually one of the background boys, and I believe even played Oliver a few times. But when it came time to record the soundtrack, Steve was chosen to sing the Dodger parts. For obvious reasons. Lionel Bart once said that unlike most of the boys, Steve was allowed to stay on after his voice changed. He just automatically to a lower range. A natural.

Steve Marriott is arguably one of the greatest talents ever to emerge from the British Isles.

He is up there with the mighty American talent icon, Sammy Davis Jr., in my humble pie opinion.

Just started reading a Marriott biography so I thought I'd check this out!

Thats his 'wouldnt it be nice, to get on with me neighbours' voice ;). (That song , Lazy Sunday Afternoon, was written after a reviewer pointed out Stevie had sung in 'Oliver' and stated, rather sarcastically, 'I doubt whever we will hear him sing in that accent again'..lol)

Stevie = Legend!!

[happydaystoytown71]

for the record Lionel Bart always considered Steve to be the best dodger ever!

I shall never forget Steve Marriot and wish he was still with us, but that I`m afraid is just wishful thinking...RIP Steve and Ronnie xx

@rosiegirl69 What does "invredible" mean?

@georgebur There's a great documentary out here called Small Faces Jukebox Heros and about 2 minutes into part 3 there's a good discussion about Lazy Sunday and Steve's trouble reconciling his desire to be a serious bluesman with his east end Music Hall roots. It seems he felt the need to dump the Small Faces (his partner, the gentle gypsy Ronnie Lane in particular) and start over to purge that element. A very bad move in retrospect, but he was an All or Nothing kind of guy.

@gropingwithastoker Too much substance abuse at the time into the mix, that might have added to the confusion. His perception of my perception was quite inaccurate. I always saw them as a heavier item than Herman's Hermits or the Tremeloes - Steve's voice told me that! And after he left, the "Faces" went with Rod Stewart down the commercial route in any event. To me Lazy Sunday was just an indication of versatility. After all the Beatles had "Yellow Submarine" and who were they again?
