Steve Marriott by Paolo Hewitt
"Compelling reading."-- Mojo
"A riveting account of the singer's life."-- Daily Express
Cockney child actor Marriott was singer, songwriter, and guitarist with 1960s pop stars The Small Faces before joining Peter Frampton to form Humble Pie--one of the biggest bands in the United States in the early 1970s.
Tragically, just before a 1991 comeback, Marriott died in a house fire. An influence on Rod Stewart, Marriott is adored by Blur, Oasis, and Paul Weller.
All Too Beautiful was published in hardcover to universal critical acclaim and was shortlisted for the 2005 US ARSC (Association for Recorded Sound Collections) Awards for excellence in historical recording research.
Hewitt, Paolo: - Paolo Hewitt has been for over thirty years one of the U.K.'s foremost writers on popular music. Cutting his teeth at the NME for seven years in the eighties, he also moonlighted as the 'Cappuccino Kid', whose musings and manifesti adorned the covers of Style Council albums. Paolo has written over twenty books, including Getting High: The Adventures of Oasis, Forever the People: Six Months on the Road with Oasis, Steve Marriott: All Too Beautiful (with John Hellier), and the novel Heaven's Promise (all available from Dean Street Press). Other than music, recurrent themes in his writing include mod culture, football and fashion.
