It was in 1965 that he entered rock n roll group Small Faces, where he replaced Jimmy Winston, with whom he debuted in London at Lyceum Theatre.
 
His first studio recording with them was of their third single titled Sha La La La  that reached up high on the UK top Ten in 1966, making them a small success initially from where on they gained further critical acclaim by taking on more psychedelic elements. In the next couple of years, they made several more Top Ten British hits like All or Nothing, Hey Girl, My Mind's Eye, Thin Soldier, Lazy Summer, Itchycoo Park, among which the latter introduced them to the American audience, hitting Top Forty.
 
By 1969, after Steve Marriott quit the group and Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart entered, the band renamed itself Faces.

Their albums did particularly well charting up on Billboard album 200 charts in the US while taking high positions on UK Albums charts with Ooh La La being a chart-topper. In 1975, when Faces disbanded McLagan started working as The Rolling Stone's sideman, both in studio as well as on tour, alongside which he took several Ronnie Wood projects such as The New Barbarians.
