Humble Pie: Discography 1969 - 1973 | URBANASPIRINES


HUMBLE PIE - Discography | URBANASPIRINES

The Modfather hisself!

After the Small Faces and Stevie Mariott's frustrations to get even rockier he formed Humble Pie with the equally legendary Peter Frampton and pals (Shirley and Ridley bass and drums) and Kostas takes a look with his usual thoroughness and diligence. If you don’t know what happened after the Small Faces check this. 

I once saw them at the Oxford Poly as they were on a tour that featured a few label mates like Dr Feelgood and the power went mid set only Stevie could have the lungs to carry on unplugged and with solo guitar and keep us entertained. Awesome powerful voice. I will never forget it!  Plugged in they were LOUD! 



Original line up:

Steve Marriott – guitar, vocals, keyboards, harmonica (1969–1975, 1979–1983; died 1991)
Jerry Shirley – drums, keyboards (1969–1975, 1979–1981, 1988–1999, 2001–2002, 2018–present)
Greg Ridley – bass, vocals, guitar (1969–1975, 2001–2002; died 2003)
Peter Frampton – guitar, vocals, keyboards (1969–1971)





Kostas says "A showcase for former Small Faces' frontman Steve Marriott and one-time Herd guitar virtuoso Peter Frampton, the hard rock outfit Humble Pie formed in Essex, England in 1969. Often regarded as one of the first supergroups in music, Humble Pie experienced moderate popularity and commercial success during the 1970s. The original line-up of members featured lead singer/frontman and guitarist Steve Marriott of Small Faces, singer-guitarist Peter Frampton of the Herd, former Spooky Tooth bassist Greg Ridley and drummer Jerry Shirley from the Apostolic Intervention. “          read on follow the links

He was 44 years old.
