==== Early stage performances (1965) ====
The band's early song set included R&B/soul classics such as "[[Jump Back]]", [[James Brown]]'s "Please Please Please", [[Smokey Robinson]]'s "[[You've Really Got a Hold on Me]]" and [[Ben E. King]]'s "[[Stand by Me (Ben E. King song)|Stand by Me]]".<ref name="makingtime"/> The band also performed two Marriott/Lane original compositions, a fast and loud "Come on Children" and the "[[speed (drug)|speed]] enhanced" song "E too D", in which Marriott would display his considerable vocal abilities in the style of his heroes and role models, [[Otis Redding]] and [[Bobby Bland]]. "E too D", which appears on their first album, ''[[Small Faces (1966 album)|Small Faces]]'', is named after the guitar chord structure. On US compilation albums the track is titled "Running Wild".<ref name="makingtime"/> Marriott's unique and powerful voice attracted rising attention. Singer [[Elkie Brooks]] was struck by Marriott's vocal prowess and stage presence, and recommended them to a local club owner, Maurice King. Impressed, King began finding them work in London and beyond.<ref name="makingtime"/><ref name="makingtime2">{{cite web|title=Small Faces Story Part 3|publisher=Making Time – Guide to British Music of the 1960s|url=http://www.makingtime.co.uk/rfr/story3.htm|access-date=2011-01-30}}</ref> Their first out-of-London concert was at a [[working men's club]] in [[Sheffield]].<ref name="makingtime2"/> Since the crowd was mainly made up of [[Teddy boy]]s and hard-drinking workers, the band were paid off after three songs.<ref name="makingtime2"/> Despondent, they walked into the mod-orientated [[King Mojo Club]] nearby (then owned by [[Peter Stringfellow]]) and offered to perform for free.<ref name="bib">{{cite web|title=Small Faces|publisher=British Invasion Bands|url=http://britishinvasionbands.com/the-bands/small-faces/|access-date=2011-01-30|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110214152726/http://britishinvasionbands.com/the-bands/small-faces/|archive-date=14 February 2011}}</ref> They played a set that left the local mods wanting more.
