Humble Pie- Black Coffee




This is just the beginning of what is bound to be lots and lots of Humble Pie on this website. I decided to put up this version of "Black Coffee" first because I think it shows something of the personality behind Steve Marriott. Such a tiny man with such a giant voice and huge persona. In every interview or story I've read about him, Marriot comes off as the wildest, most gregarious, and hyperactive character ever. I think you can see some of all that coming through here.

    I agree he could sing. Loved the back up singers and the multiple guitars. That is such a cool song written back in 1948 and recorded by many including Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney and Marianne Fathfull

    Yeah, he was so loud and had a crazy vocal vibrato too. I have never heard the Peggy Lee version, I'm going to have to find that. Thanks!
