Small Faces were an English Rock Band from London, formed in 1965 by Steve Marriott (Vocals, Guitar), Ronnie Lane (Bass, Vocals), Kenney Jones (Drums) and Jimmy Winston (Keyboards) and later was replaced by Ian McLagan in 1966.  The band is remembered as one of the most acclaimed and influential Mod Groups of the 1960s, with memorable Hit Songs such as:  "Itchycoo Park", "Lazy Sunday", "All Or Nothing", "Tin Soldier".  After The Small Faces disbanded, Steve Marriott formed Humble Pie, and the remaining three members were joined by Ronnie Wood (Guitar) and Rod Stewart (Lead Vocals).  Small Faces are one of the biggest original influences on the Britpop movement of the 1990s, and in England, Small Faces were one of the most extraordinary and successful bands of the min-'60s, serious competitors to The Who and The Rolling Stones.
