'Tin Soldier' for P.P. Arnold (The beautiful woman singing backup in the video) but decided he liked it too much so they recorded it. The drummer for Small Faces, Kenny Jones, replaced Keith Moon in 'The Who' after his untimely death. They were all "Mods" in the 60s together (see Quadrophenia).
I lived on the shores of Lake Ontario in New York, and in my teens we'd listen to CHUM FM Toronto because it skipped over the water nicely at night. They had all the latest British imports, which U.S. stations would hardly ever play. I had wonderful exposure to 'The British Invasion' long before they hit the U.S. markets. I also got to see The Beatles at Maple Leaf Gardens when I was 13. What a wonderful time to be young and alive in that era!
