Rod Stewart Biography

During the 1960s Rod Stewart was a part of several different bands. In 1966 he joined the blues-influenced Jeff Beck Group and experienced his first taste of success. The group toured the United Kingdom and the United States and released two hit albums. In 1969 he joined what became known as the Faces. Ron Wood was one of his bandmates and became a member of the Rolling Stones. Stewart also performed as a solo artist and scored his first big solo success with the album Every Picture Tells A Story which featured the hit single Maggie May in 1971. That same year the Faces had a hit with the song Stay With Me.
Stewart moved to the United States in 1975. The next year he reached the top of the U.S. charts with Tonight's the Night from A Night on the Town. With 1978's Blondes Have More Fun he had another smash hit single with Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?
His remake of the Tom Waits song Downtown Train in 1989 received a lot of radio play. A few years later he released Unplugged and Seated which was recorded at MTV Unplugged concert and featured the hit Have I Told You Lately.
With his distinctive throaty almost scratchy-sounding voice Stewart decided to take on some of the classic songs and make them his own with It Had to be You: The Great American Songbook. He recorded four volumes of the Great American Songbook series and won his first Grammy Award (best traditional pop vocal album) for Stardust: The Great American Songbook Volume III in 2004.
