Stephen
Peter Marriott (30 January 1947 - 20 April 1991) was an English actor,
musician, guitarist, singer and songwriter. He was a student at the
Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London and appeared in the West
End, before taking a role in music. He co-founded and played in the rock
bands Small Faces and Humble Pie, in a career spanning over 20 years.
Marriott was inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in 2012 as a member of Small Faces.
In Britain, Marriott became a
popular, often-photographed mod style icon. Marriott was influenced by
musicians such as: Miles Davis, Buddy Holly, Booker T & the MG's,
Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Muddy Waters and Bobby Bland. In his later
life, Marriott distanced himself from the mainstream music industry and
turned away from major record labels, remaining in relative obscurity.
He returned to his musical roots, playing in local pubs and clubs around
London and Essex.
Marriott died on 20 April 1991 when a fire, which
was thought to have been caused by a cigarette, swept through his
16th-century home in Arkesden, Essex. He was 44 and posthumously
received an Ivor Novello Award in 1996 for his "Outstanding Contribution
to British Music", and was listed in Mojo as one of the top 100
greatest singers of all time.

This
live set from 1984 serves as a fine testament to the man and is worth
the entrance fee alone for his phenominal,bluesy reading of CREEDENCES'
BAD MOON RISING where he rips into the song with a passionate intensity
that wipes all trace of the original away and along with superlative
treatments of ALL OR NOTHING,FIVE LONG YEARS and many other gritty
classics you feel that this must have been one hell of a gig to be
present at. Stunning!

Yep.
I have this CD, and it's called Steve Marriots Packet of Three (a
reference to the way condoms are sold in England). This came out
sometime after "Go For The Throat" It's a trio doing a great performance
in a club. It has all the great Pie songs plus several others like
Marriots slow version of Creedence Clearwater Revivals "Bad Moon
Rising". The sound quality is great. This is a must have for Pie
collectors.
