Celebratin'... Humble Pie

One of The Grinder's all-time, underrated rock acts, Humble Pie featured Steve Marriott; the former singer, songwriter and guitarist for Small Faces, and Peter Frampton, then known as leader of The Herd, plus bassist Greg Ridley and seventeen-year-old drummer Jerry Shirley.

From their founding in the late 1969, to the Goodbye Pie Tour in 1975, Humble Pie created some of the most raw, powerful balls-to-the-wall rock of the AOR-era. Though Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton began to collaborate again in 1991, a house fire that took Steve's Marriot's life at age 44 ended any hopes of a reunion.

Should Humble Pie be voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Would we have asked the question if we didn't think the answer was "yes"?


The infectious, boogie tribute to java juice, "Black Coffee"


A rip the seats up, burn the house down rendition of the blues classic, "I Don't Need No Doctor," recorded live at the legendary Fillmore.


A decade before Cheap Trick had an inexplicable hit covering Elvis, Humble Pie showed how it's done with "All Shook Up."



Probably Humble Pie's best-known tune and biggest hit, or, at least, the only song of their's that still gets airplay, this is the joy and pain of "30 Days in the Hole."
