About Rod Stewart

Roderick David Stewart" (born January 10, 1945) is an English singer from Scottish descent. Minutes before Rod Stewart was born in Highgate, London, a German V2 rocket exploded into the Police Station right down the street, maybe a sign that this baby was going to be a big hit. Stewart was the youngest of five children born to Robert and Elsie Stewart. His parents owned a newsagent's shop in North London, and the family resided above the shop.

Rod Stewart started as an apprentice soccer player with Brentford F.C. based in West London. He soon switched to a career in music joining folk singer Wizz Jones in the early 1960's being deported from Spain for vagrancy. On his return to England, he went to Birmingham to join Jimmy Powell & the five Dimensions as a vocalist and blues harp player. The band would record a single for Pye Records with Stewart on blues harp. He would also play the instrument on Millie Small's "My Boy Lollipop" which became a huge hit in 1964.

Rod Stewart returned to London in 1964 to join Long John Baldry's Hoochie Coochie Men which recorded a single "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" which failed to chart. The Hoochie Coochie Men evolved into Steampacket featuring Stewart, Baldry, Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger, Mickey Waller and Rick Brown. Steampacket supported the Rolling Stones and the Walker Brothers in the northern summer of 1965 and would also record an album that would not be released until 1970 when Stewart had become well-known in musical circles. Stewart would also earn the nickname "Rod the Mod" in that period after an appearance on a documentary on the Mod movement.

Steampacket broke up in early 1966 with Stewart joining Shotgun Express as lead vocalist with Beryl Marsden. Shotgun Express also contained Mick Fleetwood and Peter Green who would go on to form Fleetwood Mac and Peter Mardens. Shotgun Express would release one single before breaking up. Rod Stewart then joined Jeff Beck's the Jeff Beck Group as vocalist. In 1968, their first album ''Truth'' which became a hit on both sides of the Atlantic and the group toured extensively. The second album ''Beck-ola'' also was a hit in the middle of 1969 but the group broke up by the end of the year.

The US band Cactus offered Rod Stewart a job as lead singer but he decided to join The Faces with Ron Wood who was a bass player with the Jeff Beck Group switching to guitar. The Faces were previously the Small Faces until the departure of Steve Marriott. Stewart also signed a solo contract with ''An Old Raincoat Won't Let You Down'' being his first solo album in 1969 - known as the Rod Stewart album in the US.

The Faces released their debut album ''First Step'' in early 1970 with a rock and roll style similar to the Rolling Stones. While the album did better in the UK than the US, the Faces quickly earned a strong live following. Stewart would release his second album ''Gasoline Alley'' with Martin Quittendon as his lead guitarist supplying a mandolin sound. He also launched a solo tour Stewart's 1971album ''Every Picture Tells a Story'' made him a household name when the B-side of his minor hit "Reason to Believe" "Maggie May" started receiving radio play, the album and the single hit No. 1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. in September. "Maggie May" was also named in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll, which is his only song to appear on that list.

The Faces released their final album ''Ooh La La'' which reached number one in the UK and number 21 in 1973. The Faces went on their final tour in 1974 to support Ooh La La and the single "Pool Hall Richard". Growing tension in the band over Stewart being more successful than the band. The band would formally break up in 1975 with Ron Wood joining the Rolling Stones as their guitar player and Rod Stewart pursuing his solo career.

Rod Stewart would release the ''Smiler'' album in late 1974 which proved to be a disappointment reaching only number 13 on the Billboard pop album charts with the single "Mine For Me" only reaching number 91 on the Billboard pop singles charts. ''Smiler'' is generally regarded as Stewart's weakest album of the seventies.

Later in his career 1970s, Rod Stewart began to produce more pop-oriented music. He recorded Foolish Behavior and Hot Legs, and got another No. 1 hit with 1978's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?"

After a slump during the early 1980s, Stewart started spending less time recording music and playing the role of famous rock star. In 1993, he recorded the hit song "All For Love" with Sting and Bryan Adams for the soundtrack to the movie ''The Three Musketeers''.

A musical featuring many of Stewart's songs opened November 7, 2003 at London's Victoria Palace theatre. It is written and directed by Ben Elton, who previously created a similar production, We Will Rock You, with music by Queen.

Rod and Ron are still friends and say they are collaborating on an album. The working title is ''I'll Struth, You'll Sing'' and will be a back to the roots collage off songs written by Rod Stewart/Ron Wood.

Rod Stewart has been known for his liaisons with attractive women, including Britt Ekland and was later married to Alana Hamilton and Rachel Hunter. He fathered six children. He was quoted as saying that he'd rather have his penis cut off than cheat on her. He was later sued for divorce on the grounds of adultery.
