Steve Marriott. Frampton was still respected. Great band. Saw 'em live three times.

1. Frampton Is Still Respected In Player Circles

His playing on Comes Alive was very, very good.
Musicians never lost respect for him, even after Sgt. Pepper
BTW: he's retiring due to degenerative illness that is affecting his fine motor skills.
I did dig that HP live album, a lot.

2. Some think his allowing his recording company to top-40 him was a mistake.

At about the same time, actually a few years earlier, Marriott's leaving Faces left a hole that took Rod Steward and Ronny Wood to fill.

Not signifying, just saying.

I will admit, having Marriott backed by Frampton is sort of a Jordan/Pipen situation - a lot of people really don't realize Pipin was a franchise player by himself. Frampton is an interesting musician.

3. I Personally Know No Players Who Thought That

And, I think that attitude is naive & childish.
He was still writing his own stuff,playing primary parts on everything & it is, after all, a business.
It's not like Humble Pie wasn't trying to write hits!

4. I'm sorry. I now realize how wrong I was. What the hell was I thinking about anyways.

6. Great song!

I heard a live version of this song at a friend’s house when a young teen and it helped me realize there was a whole world of music other than the saccharine crap of top 40 radio. Yay Steve Marriott and the Pie!!

Frampton did a killer cover of Jumpin’ Jack Flash that I like even more than the original. Damn fine guitar player!
