Rod Stewart
|
| British-born Rod Stewart is one of rock 'n' roll's greatest survivors and, just when some misguided critics said that his record-selling days were over, he launcheda hugely-successful new onslaught on the charts in 2002 with "It Had To Be You: The Great American Songbook" followed a year later with the even-bigger Volume II: "As Time Goes By".
Starting off his career with various R&B-based bands, Rod joined The Jeff Beck Group in late ’66 and three years later, joins the legendary band The Faces along with his lifelong friend, guitarist Ronnie Wood; check out STAY WITH ME, one of that band’s finest moments.
The Rod Stewart solo career really took off in 1971 with a sensational story song called MAGGIE MAY from his landmark album "Every Picture Tells A Story" and the equally-mesmerizing follow-up to MAGGIE MAY, YOU WEAR IT WELL.
The following song list shows how Rod has left his mark as both songwriter & performer and we’ve also included a few of his unforgettable covers, ranging from SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK (originally by east coast R&B vocal group, The Persuaders) and some Motown classics including THIS OLD HEART OF MINE,which Rod recorded twice and charted with both versions!
And if all these achievements were not enough…there’s now a stage musical built around 22 of Rod’s song hits, aptly titled "Tonight’s The Night".
Here for the first time is an alphabetical list of all the EMI-controlled Rod Stewart compositions which charted both here in the U.S. and in the U.K. In addition, the list includes other EMI-published songs that were hits for Rod but which he did not write.
