Rod Stewart

Roderick David "Rod" Stewart (born 10 January 1945) is an English singer/songwriter and one of the best selling artists of all-time with an estimated 100 million records sold worldwide. With his distinctive raspy singing voice, Stewart came to prominence in the late 1960's and early 1970's as a member of The Jeff Beck Group and then Faces, he forged a successful solo career in 1969 with his debut album An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down (US: The Rod Stewart Album). His early albums were a fusion of folk music, soul and R&B. His aggressive blues work with The Jeff Beck Group and Faces helped influence the Heavy Metal genres. From the late 1970's through the 1990's, Stewart's albums took more of a New Wave or Soft Rock/MOR quality. And in the early 2000's he released a series of successful albums interpreting The Great American Songbook. As a solo artist he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1994 and again in 2012 as a member of Faces.
