There are more than one act with this name:
1) Faces were an early 1970s rock band formed in 1969 from the remaining members of Small Faces after Steve Marriott left to form Humble Pie; new members Ron Wood (guitar) and Rod Stewart (vocals) (both from The Jeff Beck Group) joined Ronnie Lane (bass), Ian McLagan (keyboards) and Kenny Jones, (drums). The name “the Faces” refers to well known people about town, and the band’s previous incarnation as the Small Faces also referred to the diminutive stature of the band members. With the addition of Rod Stewart (5’8”) and Ron Wood (5’9”) the band dropped the “small” but continued as the Faces. However their first album was actually released in the U.S. under the name “Small Faces” due to a mistake by their record company.
Their most successful songs included “Had Me a Real Good Time”, their breakthrough UK hit “Stay with Me”, “Cindy Incidentally”, and “Pool Hall Richard”. As Rod Stewart’s solo career became more successful than that of the group, the band became overshadowed by their lead singer. A disillusioned Ronnie Lane left the band in 1973, replaced by Tetsu Yamauchi (who had replaced Andy Fraser in Free). Released at about the time Lane left, Faces’ final studio album was Ooh La La, about which Stewart was very scathing in the musical press on its release, much to the anger of the others.
