Back-up Band Breaks Up
Johnny Hallyday was a super star in France, releasing over 75 records and helped the French embrace rock 'n' roll.
He hired the Small Faces and Peter Frampton in late 68 to be his back-up band for his album Riviere... Ouvre Ton Lit (issued in May 69). They all play on Amen (Bang Bang), Reclamation (News Report), and Regarde Pour Moi (What You Will) and possibly other tracks as individuals. Of course, uncredited on the album. The first and third song would reappear on Humble Pie's first effort. Check them out on Youtube .
Marriott had wanted to hire Frampton as a second guitarist, but the rest of the band said nope. Marriott stormed off the New Year's Eve stage shouting "I Quit" (well, after contracted concerts, in March 69). He and Peter went on to form Humble Pie and the Small Faces became taller with addition of Rod The Mod and Woody. |

| Inseparables Separated For about four years, Rod Stewart and Faces put out alternating albums (which for most folks were from the same rock factory). Well crafted records (unlike their booze-filled, rambunctious stage appearances) that featured great songs. These are the last two great offerings. Rod's album featured excellent readings of Dylan's Mama You Been On My Mind, Sam Cooke's Twistin' The Night Away and Jimi's Angel. Tasty stuff, indeed The Faces disc was (as usual) much brasher and included Woody singin' fer ya. When Rod The Mod stated in concurrent interviews that he thought the album sucked—well that was pretty much the end of that partnership. One crappy live Faces album followed (with a new bassist, after Ronnie Lane quit) and Rod went about his solo ways. |
