Humble Pie were a rock band from England and were one of the first supergroups of the 1970s. The original band lineup featured Steve Marriott from the Small Faces; Peter Frampton, lead singer and guitarist of The Herd; Greg Ridley, former bassist from Spooky Tooth and seventeen-year-old drummer Jerry Shirley who had been the drummer for the mod band Apostolic Intervention. They had previously played in high-profile groups, therefore many viewed Humble Pie as a "supergroup". Humble Pie concerts at this time featured an acoustic set, with a radical re-working of Graham Gouldman's "For Your Love" as its centerpiece followed by an electric set. During 1970 Humble Pie focused on the US market and discarded the acoustic set, instigating a more raucous sound with Marriott as the front man. Humble Pie moved towards a harder sound emphasizing Marriott's blues and soul roots. In 1975, Humble Pie played their Goodbye Pie Tour before disbanding. During 1979 Steve Marriott revived Humble Pie with Jerry Shirley, adding Bobby Tench vocalist and guitarist from The Jeff Beck Group and the respected US East coast bassist Anthony "Sooty" Jones. On Saturday, April 20, 1991, Steve Marriott died in a house fire, presumably after falling asleep in his bed with a lit cigarette. He was 44 years old. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
