"Big Black Dog" is a single released in 1970 by English rock band Humble Pie, one of the first British supergroups to form in 1969. It was the band's first single for A&M Records and the follow-up single to "Natural Born Bugie" (1969). It was written by the band's guitarist, Peter Frampton.[1][2][3][4]
The B-side, "Strange Days," is credited to Steve Marriott and Humble Pie. It later appeared on the group's fourth album, Rock On. In Germany, the B-side was "Only a Roach", which was an ode to cannabis, written and sung by drummer Jerry Shirley.
