Steve Marriott....

Small Faces.....
England's greatest band of the 1960s......

Jimmy Page's first choice to front his then 'new' band...Led Zeppelin(Marriott turned it down for Humble Pie)
the housefire that killed him was officially put down to his apparent "falling asleep in bed whilst holding a lit cigarette"

Sandy Denny â died on this day in 1978 â she was 31 years old. In a relatively short space of time, she made a huge impact. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Denny.
This extremely powerful song of hers, âWho Knows Where the Time Goesâ has been covered by numerous artists, (including Nina Simone) â itâs a beautiful thing â¦

Felice Bryant died on this day in 2003. One half of a prolific husband and wife songwriting team along with Diadorious âBoudleauxâ Bryant. Between them, they earned 59 BMI country, pop and R&B awards, were inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame as well as the regular Songwriters HoF, the Country Music HoF and the Rockabilly HoF.
From wiki - âFelice was an elevator operator at the Sherwood Hotel and when she saw Diadorius Boudleaux Bryant, she recognized him immediately - she had seen his face in a dream she had when she was eight years old, and had "looked for him forever." She was nineteen when she saw him at a water fountain in the hotel, ran up and accidentally drenched him with water and offered to buy him a drink.â
The outcome of that was that Feliceâs wrote "All I Have To Do Is Dream" which is very clearly autobiographical.
She and Boudleaux also wrote this â

Pete Ham died on this day in 1975. A member of the infamous 27 Club â his was a suicide.
He was a member of Badfinger and together with bandmate, Tom Evans, co-wrote âWithout Youâ which became a big hit for Harry Nilsson and which has since been covered by too many artists to mention. In honour of their creation, in 1972, Ham and Evans received the British Academy's Ivor Novello Award for âBest Song Musically and Lyricallyâ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bQGRRolrg0.
Amongst other noteworthy Badfinger numbers, Pete Ham wrote and sang âDay After Dayâ â a song that was initially produced by George Harrison (who plays some of the slide parts on it) and then finally mixed by Todd Rundgren. Leon Russell features on piano â¦
