Is It For Love - Humble Pie Beat-Rhythm&Blues-Soul-Hard-Black
Simply the essence of Rock'n'Roll
Steve Marriott among the greatest of all time (63)
I've decided this is the penultimate... like him, I'm tired...
It's the time of musical and personal decline. They return from yet another tour, finding themselves, as usual, without money; the manager - just like what happened with the Faces - had screwed them over with draconian contracts and their lifestyle was pretty costly.
When Steve confronted Anthony, the slimy coward... he was summoned to Little Italy by the Gambino family...
In '75, the Rolling Stones train also passed by Steve; he went, like Gallagher who was definitely at the top, to a session to replace Taylor. The chronicles tell (true accounts, Richard foremost) that Marriott obviously made "an impression"... but Steve can't keep quiet or play second fiddle... it's said that he even started telling Jagger how to sing...
Keith was all for it... Jagger much less, savansadir.
Better this way, he would have lasted two months with his talent, charisma, and character.
He tried again with Humble Pie, with the Faces, solo... but the demons were now following him...
In the meantime, he was still writing forgotten gems like this one...
Tomorrow for the last time...
