Small Faces were an English British beat band formed in 1965 [1] by Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Kenney Jones, and Jimmy Winston (who was soon replaced by Ian McLagan).Heavily influenced by American rhythm and blues, they later evolved into a psychedelic act before disbanding in 1969.
The group chose the name, "Small Faces", because of the members' small physical stature [15] and a "face" was somebody special; more than just a snappy dresser, he was someone in mod circles as a leader, someone to look up to. A face had the sharpest clothes, the best records and always was seen with the prettiest girl on his arm.
