That's a great example, because I love Marriott's voice, but that is one of my favorite Small Faces songs.

Hello,

Not sure if this one has been mentioned or not, but I've always liked it. They went 3rd string with Woody taking the lead.

Re: Great songs where the recognised lead singer doesn't sing the song
Yeah, I've always loved the energy of it. Saw Subs with Paul on bass a couple of years back and they played it then. Lost count of the number of times I've seen the Subs, they always put on a good show.
