  Humble Pie (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marriott and Frampton were both considered “teen idols” at the time, so the joining of the two resulted in Humble Pie being tagged with another popular term of the era, “Super Group”.
The formation of Humble Pie brought great expectations from the public and press alike, so, under a veil of secrecy, the four secluded themselves in the adjacent county of Essex, and began the creative process.
