JIMMY WINSTON
Jimmy Winston (born James Edward Winston Langwith; 20 April 1945, Stratford, east London) was the original keyboard player with Small Faces. He has also acted, appearing in the 1968 stage musical Hair, and 1972 Doctor Who serial Day of the Daleks. (More from Wikipedia)
The article on Small Faces in Allmusic opens: "Small Faces were the best English band never to hit it big in America." Frontman Steve Marriott was the lead guitarist and lead vocalist for the band; he had already appeared in a key role in the musical Oliver!. Ronnie Lane (bass guitar) invited Marriott to jam with his band the Pioneers, which also included Kenney Jones (drums) – while that gig didn't go well, the three decided to move in the direction of American R&B. The fourth bandmember was Jimmy Winston (organ), who was replaced by 1966 with Ian McLagan.
