HUMBLE PIE-NATURAL BORN BUGIE


Humble Pie - Natural Born Bugie - My Beat Club
Performed at Beat Club! As another so-called "supergroup" of the late 60s, Humble Pie featured two well known musicians of their time: Singer/ guitarist Steve Marriott of The Small Faces and guitarist Peter Frampton of The Herd. The song "Natural Born Bugie" - often misspelt "boogie" - was their debut single and went straight # 4 in the UK single charts. In the autumn of 1971, Peter Frampton left the band for a successful solo career - his "Frampton Comes Alive" album of 1976 sold over 16 million copies worldwide and is still the fourth best selling live album of all time (2008). Momentary, Steve Marriott was under discussion as the replacement for guitarist Mick Taylor who left The Rolling Stones in 1976. But Mick Jagger blocked the move, because he knew that Marriott would never stand "only" in the backround of the Stones. Tragically, Steve Marriott died on April 20, 1991 by smoke inhalation after a fire at his cottage in Essex, England.
