All Or Nothing: The Authorised Story of Steve Marriott: The Story of Steve Marriott
By Simon Spence
Authorised by the Marriott family
Steve Marriott, lead singer of the Small Faces and Humble Pie, had a voice coveted by Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey and David Bowie, amongst many others.
All or Nothing, Simon Spence’s oral history biography, is drawn from over 125 interviews with those who knew Marriott intimately: his wives, children, bandmates and closest friends, managers, record producers, record label bosses and his fellow musicians. Included are scores of people who have never told their story before.
From his child star beginnings to his battles with drug addiction and untimely death in a housefire, All or Nothing is a visceral and unflinching account of Steve Marriott’s extraordinary and often troubling life.

There's such a lot of good ways to be bad And so many bad ways to be good Haven't paid my rent yet I tell them "Sorry, but I haven't got the money anymore" Just for the day I thought I'd leave love alone Hold hands with day And if I'm so bad why don't they take me away Just like what you hear with a shell pressed to your ear That's the sea in the trees in the morning Hello the universal Good morning, Steve, well you won't believe me today Working doesn't seem to be the perfect thing for me So I continue to play And if I'm so bad why don't they take me away Well a hippy-trippy name dropper came through my door He said, I just bumped into Mick, he told me you know where to score No not me friend I mind my own and my own minds me Well my love is at the foot of your hand Come what may But if June comes first, please won't you take me away
