Small Faces

The Small Faces were an English rock band from London, founded in 1965. The group originally consisted of Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones, and Jimmy Winston, with Ian McLagan replacing Winston as the band's keyboardist in 1966.

The band was one of the most acclaimed and influential mod groups of the 1960s, recording hit songs such as "Itchycoo Park", "Lazy Sunday", "All or Nothing", and "Tin Soldier", as well as their concept album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake. They later evolved into one of the UK's most successful psychedelic bands until 1969.

The Small Faces didn't disband when Marriott left to form Humble Pie. The remaining three members recruited Ronnie Wood as guitarist, and Rod Stewart as their lead vocalist, both from The Jeff Beck Group, and carried on as Faces, except in North America, where this group's first album was credited to Small Faces. This practice has continued on all subsequent North American reissues of the album. A revived version of the original Small Faces existed from 1975 to 1978.

Small Faces were one of the biggest musical influences on the Britpop movement of the 1990s. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Marriott succumbed to a house fire on 20 April 1991. Lane died of Multiple sclerosis on 4 June 1997. McLagan died due to a stroke on 3 December 2014. Jones remains musically active as of 2019.
