Whether you liked them better Mod or with Rod, both incarnations of The Small Faces/The Faces have gotten their Rock Hall due as British Invasion visionaries.
The Small Faces had but one Top 20 hit in the USA — the 1967 single "Itchycoo Park," which reached No. 16 in 1968. And the group’s highest-charting U.S. album was the 1968 classic "Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake," which peaked at No. 159 in 1968. But following the announcement of the group’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Rock Hall’s website stressed that these "visionary mods … were creative peers and commercial equals of The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones" and cited the group as an influence "on artists like The Black Crowes, The Jam’s Paul Weller, The Replacements and Oasis."
The Small Faces’ story was only one chapter for the band. Rechristened as The Faces in the 1970s, the lineup at times featured solo star Rod Stewart, future Rolling Stone Ron Wood and former Wings man Jimmy McCulloch. There were a few more hits in that decade as well, although both versions of the band always enjoyed more success in their native England.
The original group came together in 1965, when Steve Marriott met Ronnie Lane at the J60 Music Bar in London, where Marriott was working. Marriott got his start in show business in the stage musical "Oliver!" and subsequently pursued an acting career before going into music, releasing a solo single and becoming a member of London band The Moments.
Marriott had seen Lane when The Moments shared the bill with Lane’s band, The Outcasts. The two struck up a conversation, then went back to Marriott’s house to listen to records. Lane, a bassist, invited Marriott, who played guitar, to jam with his current band, The Pioneers, who had a residency at a local pub. Marriott ended up getting so drunk, he smashed the pub’s piano, and The Pioneers lost their residency. But, Lane found a new musical partner. Lane then brought Pioneers’ drummer Kenney Jones on board, and Marriott brought in a friend from his acting days, Jimmy Winston (real name Jimmy Langwith) on keyboards. The Small Faces were born.
Langwith wasn’t the strongest keyboardist, but he had something else of value to the budding group: His parents owned a pub where the band could rehearse, and his brother owned a van to drive them to gigs. A female friend of Marriott’s helped him buy an amplifier and suggested the name The Small Faces, which Marriott liked for its play on words. Everyone in the group was short, and "face" was mod slang. "The term ‘Face’ was a top mod, a face about town, a respected chap!" Marriott explained. ...
