Original member of Humble Pie.


By the age of 12, Frampton played in a band called the Little Ravens. Both he and David Bowie who was three years older, were pupils at Bromley Technical School where Frampton's father was Bowie's art Teacher. The Little Ravens played on the same bill at school as Bowie's band, George and the Dragons. Peter and David would spend lunch breaks together, playing Buddy Holly songs.

At the age of 14, Peter was playing with a band called the Trubeats followed by a band called the Preachers, who later became Moon's Train, produced and managed by Rolling Stoned bassist, Bill Wyman.

He became a successful child singer, and in 1966 he became a member of The Herd. He was the lead guitarist and singer, scoring several British pop hits. Frampton was named "The Face of 1968" by Rave Magazine.

In 1969, when Frampton was 18 years old, he joined with Steve Marriott of Small Faces to form Humble Pie.

While playing with Humble Pie, Frampton also did session recording with other artists, including: Harry Nilsson, Jerry Lee Lewis, and The Who bassist's side project, John Entwhistle's Whistle Rymes in 1972. Pete Drake introduced him to the "talk box" that was to become one of his trademark guitar effects.
