The Faces

The Faces were an English Rock band formed in 1969 by members of the Small Faces after lead singer/guitarist Steve Marriott left that group to form Humble Pie. The remaining Small Faces—Ian McLagan (keyboards), Ronnie Lane (bass), and Kenney Jones (drums and percussion)—were joined by Ronnie Wood (guitar) and Rod Stewart (lead vocals), both from the Jeff Beck Group, and the new line-up was renamed *the Faces*.

With their energetic performances and unique blend of rock, blues, and folk influences, *the Faces* quickly gained a loyal following. Their raw sound and charismatic stage presence made them one of the most exciting live acts of their time.

Although they had a relatively short career together, *the Faces* released several successful albums including "First Step," "Long Player," and "A Nod Is as Good as a Wink... to a Blind Horse." Their hits like "Stay with Me" and "Ooh La La" remain beloved classics to this day.
