HUMBLE PIE
Humble Pie was an English rock band formed by Steve Marriott, in Essex during 1969. They are known as one of the late 1960s’ first supergroups and found success on both sides of the Atlantic with such songs as “Black Coffee”, “30 Days in the Hole”, “I Don’t Need No Doctor”, and “Natural Born Bugie”. The original band line-up featured lead vocalist and guitarist Steve Marriott from the Small Faces, vocalist and guitarist Peter Frampton from The Herd, former Spooky Tooth bassist Greg Ridley, and a seventeen-year-old drummer, Jerry Shirley.

As the 1960’s wound down, Steve Marriott wanted to make some changes in Small Faces, and one day he just took off in the middle of a concert. Marriott had wanted to bring Peter Frampton into the band; instead, the two put together a new band called Humble Pie.
