Kenney Jones (drums; born September 16, 1948), Ronnie Lane (bass, vocals; born April 1, 1946, died June 4, 1997), Ian McLagan (keyboards; born May 12, 1945), Steve Marriott (vocals, guitar; born January 30, 1947, died April 20, 1991), Rod Stewart (vocals; born January 10, 1945), Ron Wood (guitar, vocals; born June 1,1947)

The Small Faces' career is unique in rock and roll, occurring in two stages that saw a partial realignment in personnel and pronounced shift in style. They began as the Small Faces, a band of mod rockers who embraced soul and psychedelia in the latter half of the Sixties. Then they became the Faces, a rollicking band of pub-rockers who barnstormed their way through the first half of the Seventies. The change occurred in 1969, when singer/guitarist Steve Marriott (who'd left to form Humble Pie) was replaced by two new members, vocalist Rod Stewart and guitarist Ron Wood. Now a quintet, the group shortened its name to the Faces.

With the British Invasion already in full tilt, the Small Faces formed in 1965 around the union of Marriott (a former child actor) with bassist Ronnie Lane and drummer Kenney Jones (who'd had a band called the Outcasts). Their original keyboardist, Jimmy Winston, was replaced by Ian McLagan soon after the release of their second single, "Sha-La-La-La-Lee." Much like the Who, the Small Faces were a band of sharp-dressed mods who loved soul and R&B. The very word Faces -- a bit of mod lingo referencing their self-absorption with looks and fashion -- signaled an allegiance with the subculture. They prefaced it with Small because all four members were diminutive in stature yet there was nothing small about their sound.

Marriott sang with an electrifying blue-eyed soul voice, and McLagan's Hammond organ added great depth to the soulful aesthetic. The Small Faces' infectious energy made them popular with British teens. Their records were punchy and tight, while their frenzied performances compared favorably with those of such British counterparts as the Rolling Stones, the Who, the Animals and the Pretty Things.
