Leer másSong profile
"Hey Girl" was released on 6 May 1966 with the B-side "Almost Grown". The song was written by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane and was a compromise between the band and their manager, Don Arden, as Arden wanted a very commercial sounding song. A week later the group`s debut album on Decca Small Faces hit the UK charts reaching number 3.
After the success of "Hey Girl" an employee of Robert Stigwood`s management company contacted the band to see where they stood. When Don Arden found out, he, along with four "heavies," visited Stigwood`s London offices and Arden hung Stigwood by his legs from a balcony window and threatened violence if he interfered with his bands ever again. The story would become common knowledge around the music industry, cementing Arden`s tough man reputation.[1]
Personnel
Small Faces
- Steve Marriott – lead and backing vocals, electric guitar
- Ronnie Lane – bass guitar, backing vocals
- Ian McLagan – Hammond organ, backing vocals
- Kenney Jones – drums
