Signed to Immediate Records, Humble Pie released their debut album, As Safe as Yesterday Is, followed by Town and Country. Marriott quit the Small Faces and joined the band already in place around Frampton-Humble Pie. Everything came to head when the Small Faces were playing at Alexandra Palace. Undaunted, Marriott kept pushing for Frampton to become part of Small Faces, while at the same time putting together a band for Frampton. For whatever reason, they didn’t want Frampton in Small Faces. Marriott, the guitarist for the Small Faces, wanted to bring Frampton into the Small Faces, but both bassist Ronnie Lane and keyboardist Ian McLagan dissented. Humble Pie’s advent was the result of Marriott’s friendship with Peter Frampton, who had left The Herd and was looking for a new gig. One of the early so-called “supergroups” of the late ‘60s, Humble Pie, formed in 1969 and released Smokin’ in 1972-the band’s fifth studio album, as well as Humble Pie’s highest-charting album.Ĭoming out of the starting gate in 1969, Humble Pie was made up of Steve Marriott (guitar, vocals, keyboards, harmonica), Jerry Shirley (drums), Greg Ridley (bass), and Peter Frampton (guitar, vocals, keyboards).
