Notes
1 Although "Reason to Believe" was the A-side, the single was listed on the UK chart as "Maggie May/Reason to Believe".
2 "In a Broken Dream" was credited to Python Lee Jackson and released as a single in late 1969. However, the single did not chart in the UK until 1972.
3 "What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)" was released as a double A-side with "Angel" in the UK and Ireland.
4 "You Can Make Me Dance..." was credited to Rod Stewart/Faces, at least in the UK.[74]
5 "Sailing" was in 1976 used as the theme music for the BBC documentary series Sailor, about HMS Ark Royal, and when it was subsequently re-released it reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. In 1987, the song made a new chart appearance in the UK when re-released as a charity single after the Zeebrugge ferry disaster, reaching number 41 on the chart. The 1987 release also made number 30 in Ireland.
6 "The First Cut Is the Deepest" and "I Don't Want to Talk About It" were released as a double A-side in the UK in 1977. Internationally, the former was released in 1977 and the latter in 1979. However, a newly recorded version of "I Don't Want to Talk About It", included on the Stewart anthology Storyteller, was a number 2 hit on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1990; it did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 as it was not available as a retail single.
7 Also included on previous albums.

Studio albums
Rod Stewart's solo studio albums span over five decades, beginning with his debut in 1969 and encompassing a diverse range of styles from folk-rock and pop-rock to standards and eclectic covers. His early work established him as a raspy-voiced interpreter of soul and rock, while later phases explored American songbook classics and returns to his rock origins. Throughout, Stewart has released 31 studio albums under his solo name, many achieving commercial success with multiple chart-toppers in the UK and US.[1] The following table lists his studio albums in chronological order, including release year, record label, peak positions on the UK Albums Chart and US Billboard 200, RIAA certifications where applicable, and primary producers.

Live albums
Rod Stewart's live albums capture the dynamism of his performances across various stages of his career, showcasing improvisational energy, audience interaction, and reinterpretations of his hits. These releases highlight his transition from raw rock tours to more intimate acoustic sets and grand orchestral spectacles, drawing from extensive world tours and special events. The first major solo live album, Absolutely Live, was released in November 1982 by Riva Records in the UK and Warner Bros. Records internationally. Recorded primarily during Stewart's 1981 world tour at venues like The Forum in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York, it features a double-LP set emphasizing high-energy rock arrangements with his band, including extended jams and crowd chants. Standout tracks include an elongated "Maggie May" with added guitar solos differing from the 1971 studio version, and "Tonight's the Night," which captures the raw enthusiasm of his early 1980s performances. The album peaked at No. 35 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 46 on the US Billboard 200, earning gold certification in the UK for sales over 100,000 units.[10][11] In 1993, Stewart delivered Unplugged... and Seated, his second dedicated live album, released on May 24 by Warner Bros. Records. Filmed and recorded for MTV Unplugged at Universal Studios in Los Angeles on February 5, 1993, it features acoustic rearrangements of classics with guest appearances by Ron Wood and Ronnie Lane, focusing on stripped-down versions that reveal emotional depth in songs like "Have I Told You Lately" and a mandolin-driven "Maggie May," contrasting the electric bombast of original recordings. The album debuted at No. 2 on both the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200, where it spent 68 weeks, and achieved quadruple platinum status in the US for over 4 million copies sold.[6] One Night Only! Rod Stewart Live at Royal Albert Hall, released in December 2004 by J Records, documents a gala concert on October 13, 2004, at London's Royal Albert Hall to benefit Prince William's Fields in Trust charity. Backed by a big band and the 60-piece Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, it presents mature, swinging interpretations of hits such as "You Wear It Well" and "Sailing," with orchestral swells adding lush layers absent in studio cuts, alongside guests like Chrissie Hynde. The album reached No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 72 on the US Billboard 200, receiving double platinum certification in the UK.[12] A 2014 compilation, Live 1976–1998: Tonight's the Night, released by Universal Music, aggregates live recordings from tours spanning over two decades, including rare tracks like "The Wild Side of Life," but it serves more as an archival overview than a single-event capture. No new dedicated live albums have been released post-2020 as of November 2025, though Stewart continues extensive touring with orchestral elements tying back to his earlier live interpretations.[13]Compilation albums
Rod Stewart's compilation albums primarily aggregate his solo recordings into retrospective collections, spanning greatest hits packages, thematic anthologies, and remastered selections from his extensive catalog. These releases, issued by labels such as Mercury, Warner Bros., and Rhino, have collectively contributed to his global sales exceeding 120 million records, often recapping his rock, pop, and standards eras. Unlike original studio releases, compilations emphasize curated selections of singles and album tracks, frequently including bonus material or re-recordings to appeal to both longtime fans and new audiences.[2] Early compilations focused on Stewart's 1970s breakthrough hits, fulfilling contractual obligations and capitalizing on his Mercury Records output. The Best of Rod Stewart (1976), released by Mercury, compiled 10 tracks from his initial solo albums like Every Picture Tells a Story and Never a Dull Moment, peaking at No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart and earning platinum certification in the UK for over 300,000 units sold. Similarly, Sing It Again Rod (1973, Mercury, LP format) served as a contractual release with 12 songs, including "Maggie May" and "You Wear It Well," reaching No. 1 in the UK and achieving gold status there. These sets highlighted his folk-rock and soul-infused style, introducing rarities like alternate mixes to early audiences. From the 1980s onward, compilations expanded into career-spanning overviews, often in multi-disc formats to encompass his Warner Bros. period. Storyteller: The Complete Anthology (1989, Warner Bros., 2CD, 34 tracks) became a benchmark, topping the UK Albums Chart for three weeks and certified 6× platinum in the UK with over 1.8 million copies sold, featuring hits like "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" alongside B-sides and live snippets. Some Guys Have All the Luck: The Rod Stewart Singles Collection (1983, Warner Bros., LP/CD) focused on his 1980s singles, peaking at No. 20 in the UK and including unique edits of "Baby Jane" and "Passion," with platinum certification in Australia. The Definitive Rod Stewart (2006, Warner Bros./Rhino, 2CD, 36 tracks) updated this approach, reaching No. 7 in the UK and earning double platinum status, blending 1970s classics with 1990s ballads like "Have I Told You Lately."[14] In the 2000s, themed compilations emerged, particularly subsets of his Great American Songbook series and Mercury-era deep cuts. The Mercury Anthology (2004, Mercury/Universal, 2CD, 40 tracks) offered remastered selections from his first six solo albums, including rarities like outtakes from Gasoline Alley, peaking at No. 20 in the UK and certified gold. The Great American Songbook, Vol. 1 (2004, J Records, CD) curated 14 standards such as "The Way You Look Tonight," reaching No. 3 in the UK and 2× platinum certification, establishing his swing revival phase. The Complete Great American Songbook (2011, Verve, 6CD box set) aggregated his standards recordings across four albums, with over 60 tracks, achieving gold status in the UK and emphasizing orchestral arrangements. These releases prioritized conceptual groupings over strict chronology, often with new liner notes. Recent compilations have incorporated orchestral enhancements and comprehensive retrospectives, reflecting Stewart's enduring popularity. You're in My Heart: Rod Stewart with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (2019, Rhino, CD/vinyl, 20 tracks) featured re-recorded versions of hits like "Sailing" and "Forever Young" with symphonic backing, debuting at No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart and certified silver in the UK for 100,000 units. Ultimate Hits (2025, Rhino, 2CD/2LP, 30 tracks) marks the first fully solo-spanning best-of, covering from "Handbags and Gladrags" (1971) to recent material, with seven 2025 remasters and new liner notes tied to his Glastonbury performance; it entered at No. 2 in the UK upon release in June 2025. These modern entries blend archival audio with fresh production, underscoring themes of legacy while achieving strong streaming metrics.[15]Singles
1960s–1970s
Rod Stewart's recording career as a lead vocalist began in the mid-1960s with pre-solo singles featuring various bands, including Jimmy Powell and the Dimensions and the Steampacket, though these did not chart significantly. His first solo single, "It's All Over Now," was released in 1970 under Vertigo Records, marking the start of his independent output rooted in folk-rock influences drawn from his time with the Jeff Beck Group and the Faces. These early releases laid the foundation for his breakthrough, emphasizing raw, bluesy vocals and acoustic elements. The period from 1969 to 1972 saw Stewart's folk-rock origins solidify with hits from albums like Gasoline Alley and Every Picture Tells a Story, culminating in the massive success of the 1971 double A-side "Maggie May"/"Reason to Believe," which spent five weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped the UK Singles Chart. This era established Stewart as a major artist, with sales exceeding 1 million copies for the single in the US alone, certified platinum by the RIAA.[6] By the mid-1970s, Stewart transitioned to a more polished pop sound while maintaining rock edges, as heard in releases from A Night on the Town and Foot Loose & Fancy Free. The glam and pop shift intensified from 1976 to 1979, incorporating disco rhythms in tracks like "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?," which reached number one in both the UK and US in 1978–1979, earning double platinum certification in the US for over 2 million units sold. This evolution broadened his appeal, with several singles achieving multi-platinum status and dominating international charts.[6] Below is a chronological table of Stewart's key solo singles from the 1960s to 1970s, including pre-solo releases for context.

1980s
Rod Stewart's singles in the 1980s marked a shift toward polished pop-rock with prominent synthesizer elements, aligning with the MTV-driven music landscape of the era. Transitioning from his rawer 1970s sound, Stewart collaborated with producers like Jim Cregan and Trevor Horn to craft accessible hits that emphasized catchy hooks and danceable rhythms, often drawing comparisons to the disco-infused "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" from 1978. This period saw him achieve multiple top-10 entries on both UK and US charts, solidifying his status as a commercial powerhouse despite occasional critical backlash for veering into lighter fare.[16] Key releases were primarily issued by Warner Bros. Records, reflecting Stewart's ongoing partnership with the label after leaving Mercury. B-sides frequently featured album tracks or non-album cuts, providing fans with deeper cuts from sessions. Chart performance varied, with standout successes like "Baby Jane" topping the UK Singles Chart in 1983 and reaching No. 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Certifications were modest compared to his earlier work, with few singles attaining gold status in the US via RIAA, such as "Young Turks" (1981, certified Gold for 500,000 units sold).[6][17] The following table summarizes Stewart's major 1980s singles, focusing on principal releases with UK and US peak positions, selected B-sides, and notable certifications where applicable.

1990s
During the 1990s, Rod Stewart's singles emphasized romantic ballads and acoustic arrangements, marking a departure from the upbeat pop of the previous decade toward more personal and emotive material. This period highlighted his vocal maturity through stripped-down performances, particularly in the MTV Unplugged format, and collaborations that blended his raspy delivery with orchestral elements. Key releases drew from albums like Vagabond Heart (1991) and Unplugged... and Seated (1993), yielding over 20 singles that achieved notable international success, though with varying commercial peaks.[6] The Vagabond Heart era produced anthemic tracks with Celtic influences and soulful covers, exemplified by "Rhythm of My Heart," which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart in 1991.[21][22] Follow-up "The Motown Song (My Ding Ding)," a medley celebrating Motown, peaked at No. 10 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart the same year.[17] "Broken Arrow," a cover of Robbie Robertson's track, charted at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 but fared lower in the UK at No. 54.[17] These singles underscored Stewart's ability to infuse rock roots with pop accessibility, contributing to the album's platinum certification in the US.[23] In 1993, Stewart's collaboration "All for Love" with Bryan Adams and Sting, featured on The Three Musketeers soundtrack, became a global smash, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and reaching No. 2 in the UK.[3] The single, certified platinum by the RIAA, exemplified the decade's trend toward cinematic power ballads.[24] That same year, the acoustic rendition of Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately" from Unplugged... and Seated peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and RIAA gold certification.[25][26] "The First Cut Is the Deepest," another unplugged cover, reached No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 23 in the UK, reinforcing the intimate, heartfelt style that defined Stewart's mid-1990s output.[17] Later in the decade, singles from A Spanner in the Works (1995) like "For the First Time" charted modestly at No. 62 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 60 in the UK, while "Leave Virginia Alone" hit No. 51 in the US.[17] The 1996 ballad "If We Fall in Love Tonight" from the greatest hits collection peaked at No. 30 on the UK Singles Chart. A 1998 reissue of "Ooh La La" from When We Were the New Boys (1998) revived interest, reaching No. 17 in the UK. These releases, often tied to compilations, maintained Stewart's romantic focus but saw diminishing Hot 100 presence, with greater emphasis on adult contemporary radio. Duets such as "It Takes Two" with Tina Turner (1990, UK No. 5) and "People Get Ready" with Jeff Beck (1992, UK No. 49) added variety, blending soul and blues elements.[27] The following table summarizes select major 1990s singles with their peak chart positions:| Title | Year | US Billboard Hot 100 Peak | UK Singles Chart Peak |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown Train | 1990 | 3 | 10 |
| Rhythm of My Heart | 1991 | 5 | 3 |

2000s
In the 2000s, Rod Stewart's singles output reflected a pivot toward lush interpretations of pre-rock standards via his Great American Songbook series, launched in 2002 on J Records, interspersed with original rock-oriented tracks from the album Human (2001) on Atlantic Records. This era saw diminished presence on mainstream pop charts but strong performance on adult contemporary formats, particularly in the US, where several releases topped the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.[3][6] UK singles often reissued earlier hits or promoted the standards albums, achieving moderate top 40 success.[6] Key singles from this period include the following representative examples, highlighting both original material and standards revivals:
Notable highlights include the standards like "Time After Time," a cover of Cyndi Lauper's hit that reached number one on the US Adult Contemporary chart, and tracks from Human such as "Run Back Into Your Arms," which blended rock revival with contemporary production.[3] Overall, these releases emphasized Stewart's maturing vocal style in a lounge-oriented context, prioritizing emotional depth over high-energy rock anthems.[6]
2010s
In the 2010s, Rod Stewart shifted back to original compositions following a decade dominated by interpretations of standards and covers, releasing singles tied to three key albums of new material: Time (2013), Another Country (2015), and Blood Red Roses (2018). This era reflected a resurgence in his rock-oriented songwriting, influenced by personal reflections and global experiences, with tracks emphasizing themes of love, loss, and resilience. The singles achieved modest commercial success amid the rise of digital streaming and downloads, which fragmented traditional chart performance compared to his 1970s and 1980s peaks, often finding stronger footing on adult contemporary formats rather than the mainstream Hot 100.[28] The album Time, Stewart's first collection of original songs since Human in 2001—marking a 12-year hiatus from new writing—produced several singles, starting with the upbeat "She Makes Me Happy," which peaked at number 12 on the US Adult Contemporary chart in 2013. Follow-up "It's Over" reached number 91 on the UK Singles Chart later that year, showcasing Stewart's raspy delivery on introspective ballads. These releases highlighted a return to his Faces-era rock roots, blending heartfelt lyrics with polished production.[28][6] Another Country drew inspiration from Stewart's international travels, incorporating worldly motifs in tracks like the title song and lead single "Love Is," released in 2015; while it did not crack major top 40 positions, it resonated on digital platforms and radio playlists. Subsequent singles "Please" and "Way Back Home" continued this exploratory vibe, emphasizing themes of connection and nostalgia, though chart peaks remained outside the top 50 in both the UK and US.[29] The decade closed with Blood Red Roses, yielding over half a dozen singles, including the poignant "Didn't I" featuring Bridget Cady, which climbed to number 8 on the US Adult Contemporary chart in 2018—Stewart's first top-10 original there since 1999—and number 67 on the UK Singles Chart. Other releases like "Look in Her Eyes" and "Grace" maintained the album's raw, autobiographical edge, focusing on family and farewell, with digital sales and streaming bolstering visibility in an era where physical singles had largely faded. Overall, these 10-plus singles underscored Stewart's enduring appeal in niche adult markets, prioritizing artistic revival over blockbuster hits.[30][6]| Single | Album | Year | US Adult Contemporary Peak | UK Singles Peak |

2020s
In the 2020s, Rod Stewart continued to release singles primarily tied to his studio albums, emphasizing a mix of original rock-infused tracks and big-band covers, with a focus on digital distribution through Warner Records and its imprints. These releases often debuted on streaming platforms, reflecting the shift toward digital-first strategies in the music industry. Notable examples include promotional singles from his 2021 album The Tears of Hercules and the 2024 collaborative project Swing Fever with Jools Holland. The lead single from The Tears of Hercules, "One More Time," was released digitally on September 16, 2021, via Rhino Entertainment (a Warner Music Group label). Co-written by Stewart and Kevin Savigar, the track blends pop-rock elements with country influences and peaked at number 113 on the UK Singles Chart, spending 19 weeks in lower positions while garnering modest streaming attention. Follow-up singles from the same album included "Hold On," issued on October 15, 2021, as a digital download, and "I Can't Imagine," released November 5, 2021, both prioritizing online availability without physical formats. These tracks did not achieve significant chart positions on Billboard's Digital Song Sales but contributed to the album's overall streaming performance. For Swing Fever, a swing standards covers album with Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, the lead single "Almost Like Being in Love" (originally from the 1947 musical Brigadoon) was released digitally on December 5, 2023, via Warner Records UK. The upbeat big-band rendition, featuring Holland on piano, marked Stewart's exploration of jazz-era repertoire and was promoted through an official music video, though it did not enter major Billboard charts. Additional promotional releases included "Ain't Misbehavin'," debuted January 4, 2024, and "Lullaby of Broadway," accompanied by an official visualizer on February 23, 2024—the album's release date—all distributed digitally to capitalize on streaming platforms. No major new original singles emerged in 2025 tied to the compilation Ultimate Hits (released June 27, 2025, via Rhino), though remastered versions of classics like "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" re-entered UK charts, including a top 10 debut on the Official Vinyl Singles Chart in September 2025, driven by promotional vinyl bundles. Regarding follow-ups to 2018's Blood Red Roses, no dedicated 2020s singles were issued, with focus shifting to later projects. Overall, Stewart's 2020s singles underscore his enduring appeal in mature, reflective genres, with digital releases dominating distribution.| Single | Release Date | Album | Label | Notable Charts |

Single and soundtrack features
Rod Stewart has occasionally contributed featured vocals to non-album singles and film soundtracks, often collaborating with other artists or providing original recordings tailored to cinematic contexts. These appearances highlight his versatility, blending his raspy rock style with pop and ballad elements to enhance movie narratives.[34] One prominent example is his collaboration on "All for Love," recorded in 1993 with Bryan Adams and Sting for the soundtrack of The Three Musketeers, a swashbuckling adventure film directed by Richard Lester. The power ballad, written by Adams, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, and Michael Kamen, served as the film's theme and became a major hit, topping the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and reaching No. 1 in several other countries, including Canada and Australia.[35][36] In 1982, Stewart provided the end-credits track "That's What Friends Are For" for the comedy film Night Shift, directed by Ron Howard and starring Henry Winkler and Michael Keaton. Written by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager, the song was an early recording of the tune, emphasizing themes of friendship amid the movie's story of morgue workers starting a prostitution ring; though it did not achieve significant chart success at the time, it later gained fame through a 1985 cover by Dionne Warwick and friends.[37] Another key contribution came in 1986 with "Love Touch," the theme for the romantic thriller Legal Eagles, directed by Ivan Reitman and featuring Robert Redford and Debra Winger. Written by Holly Knight and Mike Chapman, the upbeat pop-rock track peaked at No. 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 37 in the UK, underscoring the film's blend of legal drama and romance while marking one of Stewart's last major 1980s solo hits outside his studio albums.[38] No notable soundtrack or non-album guest single features by Stewart have emerged in the 2020s as of November 2025, with his recent work focusing primarily on studio albums and live performances.Video releases

Music videos
Solo music videos
Rod Stewart's solo music videos emerged in the early 1970s as basic promotional tools to accompany his rising singles, often consisting of live performance footage or simple studio clips that highlighted his raspy vocals and charismatic stage presence. These early efforts, such as the 1971 clip for "Maggie May," were rudimentary by modern standards but played a key role in visualizing the storytelling elements of his folk-rock hits from albums like Every Picture Tells a Story. As the decade progressed, videos became more polished, incorporating narrative elements and visual flair, particularly with the 1978 release of "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?," which embraced disco aesthetics and aired frequently on emerging music television formats.[54][55] The 1980s marked a peak in production values for Stewart's videos, coinciding with the MTV era, where directors like Jonathan Kaplan and Bruce Gowers crafted cinematic pieces that blended rock energy with pop sophistication. Videos for singles like "Baby Jane" (1983) featured surreal, dreamlike sequences, while "Infatuation" (1984) incorporated high-fashion elements and celebrity cameos to appeal to a global audience. This period saw over 20 videos released, many tied to albums such as Body Wishes and Camouflage, emphasizing Stewart's versatility in shifting from rock anthems to more commercial pop tracks.[54][56][57] In the 1990s and 2000s, Stewart's videos adapted to changing media landscapes, from VHS compilations to digital streaming, with a focus on heartfelt ballads and covers. The unplugged-style video for "All for Love" (1993, solo version) showcased acoustic intimacy, while 2000s releases for his Great American Songbook series, like "Time After Time" (2004), often used elegant, jazz-infused visuals or animated sequences to evoke nostalgia. By the 2010s, videos transitioned to online platforms, with high-definition remasters and lyric videos for tracks like "She Makes Me Happy" (2013) prioritizing accessibility on YouTube. Recent efforts, including animated or stage-performance clips for singles from Blood Red Roses (2018) such as "Didn't I," reflect a blend of retro charm and modern digital distribution, with approximately 50 solo videos produced to date across formats from analog tape to 4K streaming.[54][58][59] The following table highlights representative solo music videos in chronological order, focusing on key releases that illustrate the evolution of Stewart's visual output:| Year | Song | Director | Format/Notable Aspects | Source |

Collaborative and cameo appearances
Rod Stewart has made several notable appearances in music videos as a collaborative partner or cameo guest, often highlighting his versatility across genres and eras. These contributions typically involve duets or ensemble performances tied to charitable causes, film soundtracks, or joint projects with other prominent artists, extending beyond his solo work to showcase interpersonal musical chemistry. One of his most prominent collaborative videos is for "All for Love" (1993), a power ballad co-performed with Bryan Adams and Sting for the soundtrack of the film The Three Musketeers. In the video, directed by David Hogan, Stewart shares lead vocals and screen time equally with his co-artists, performing amid dramatic reenactments of the film's swashbuckling themes, emphasizing themes of loyalty and camaraderie.[69][70] In 1990, Stewart featured prominently in the music video for "It Takes Two," a duet with Tina Turner from her album Foreign Affair. The clip, directed by David Hogan, depicts the pair in a lively, flirtatious narrative set in a nightclub, with Stewart as Turner's romantic counterpart, blending soulful R&B elements with their charismatic interplay. This appearance underscored Stewart's affinity for Motown-inspired collaborations. A more contemporary example came in 2015 with his cameo in A$AP Rocky's "Everyday" video, which samples Stewart's 1976 track "The Killing of Georgie (Part I and II)." Directed by Emmanuel Cossu and Fleur & Manu, the surreal, celebrity-filled clip includes Stewart as a brief but memorable guest, appearing in a dreamlike sequence that nods to his sampled vocals and adds a rock legend's gravitas to the hip-hop production. For charitable efforts, Stewart appeared in the 2010 video for "Everybody Hurts" by Helping Haiti, a supergroup cover benefiting earthquake relief in Haiti. In this ensemble piece, directed by Joseph Kahn, Stewart delivers his verse alongside artists like Mariah Carey and Robbie Williams, with the video intercutting individual performances to create a global unity message.[71] In 2024, Stewart collaborated extensively with pianist Jools Holland on the swing album Swing Fever, resulting in multiple official music videos that highlight their shared enthusiasm for big-band standards. For "Pennies from Heaven," directed by Jeremy Deller and Jack Cocker, the duo performs in a vintage-inspired setting with Holland on piano and Stewart crooning energetically, evoking 1930s glamour. Similarly, the "Almost Like Being in Love" video features them in a lively studio session, with Stewart's raspy delivery complementing Holland's rhythmic accompaniment. Other clips from the project, such as "Ain't Misbehavin'," follow this format, positioning Stewart as a co-lead in nostalgic, upbeat visuals. These videos, released via official channels, mark a recent resurgence in Stewart's collaborative video work.[72][73][74]Band-affiliated releases
With the Jeff Beck Group
Rod Stewart joined the Jeff Beck Group as lead vocalist in early 1967, bringing his raw, raspy delivery to the band's pioneering blues-rock sound, which blended heavy guitar riffs with soulful interpretations of blues standards and originals. This lineup, featuring Jeff Beck on guitar, Ronnie Wood on bass, and Micky Waller on drums, lasted until 1969 and produced two albums and a pair of singles that helped define the transition from British blues to hard rock.[75] The group's first single, "Tallyman" backed with "Rock My Plimsoul"—both co-written by Beck and Stewart—was released in July 1967 on Columbia Records (DB 8190) and peaked at number 30 on the UK Singles Chart, marking an early showcase for Stewart's emotive phrasing over driving rhythms.[76] Their second single, a cover of the Eurovision entry "Love Is Blue" (L'amour est bleu) backed with the original "I've Been Drinking" (also featuring Stewart's vocals), followed in February 1968 on Columbia (DB 8359) and climbed to number 23 on the UK Singles Chart, highlighting the band's ability to infuse pop covers with gritty edge.[77] Truth, the Jeff Beck Group's debut album, was released on July 29, 1968, in the US by Epic Records and on October 4, 1968, in the UK by Columbia Records; it reached number 15 on the Billboard 200, establishing the band's international presence despite limited UK charting.[78] Stewart's distinctive, gravelly vocals anchor key tracks like the Yardbirds cover "Shapes of Things," Willie Dixon's "You Shook Me," and the original "Let Me Love You Baby" (co-credited to Beck and Stewart), where his howling intensity complements Beck's searing solos in a raw blues-rock framework.[79] Other vocal highlights include "Morning Dew" and "Blues Deluxe," emphasizing Stewart's ability to convey urgency and emotion amid the album's power-trio dynamics. The sophomore effort, Beck-Ola, arrived in June 1969 in the US (Epic) and August 1969 in the UK (Columbia), peaking at number 15 on the Billboard 200 and number 39 on the UK Albums Chart.[80] Recorded amid internal tensions, it retained the blues-rock ferocity with Stewart's unpolished vocals driving Elvis Presley covers like "All Shook Up" and "Jailhouse Rock," as well as originals such as "Spanish Boots" (co-written by Wood, Beck, and Stewart) and "Plynth (Water Down the Drain)."[81] The album's shorter runtime and explosive energy captured the group's live intensity, with Stewart's contributions underscoring themes of rebellion and abandon before the original lineup disbanded later that year.With Faces
Rod Stewart served as the lead vocalist for the British rock band Faces from its formation in 1969 until its dissolution in 1975, contributing co-lead vocals alongside Ronnie Lane on several tracks and shaping the band's boogie-infused rock sound. During this period, Stewart's involvement with Faces overlapped significantly with his burgeoning solo career, allowing him to balance band commitments with individual releases that often shared stylistic elements and personnel. The band's output included four studio albums and one live album, which achieved varying commercial success, particularly in the UK and US markets.[82] The Faces' debut studio album, First Step (1970), featured Stewart on lead and co-lead vocals across its tracks, blending blues-rock and folk influences. It peaked at No. 45 on the UK Albums Chart and reached No. 119 on the US Billboard 200, marking a modest entry for the newly formed group. Their follow-up, Long Player (1971), continued Stewart's prominent vocal role and climbed higher commercially, attaining No. 31 in the UK and No. 29 in the US, with standout tracks like "Bad 'n' Ruin" showcasing the band's raw energy. Later that year, A Nod Is as Good as a Wink... to a Blind Horse (1971) became their breakthrough, with Stewart delivering raspy leads on hits including "Stay with Me"; it reached No. 2 in the UK and No. 6 on the Billboard 200, earning gold certification in the US for sales exceeding 500,000 copies. The final studio album, Ooh La La (1973), saw Stewart's participation limited due to solo commitments, though he contributed vocals to key songs like the title track; it topped the UK Albums Chart at No. 1 and peaked at No. 21 in the US.[83][84]| Album Title | Release Year | UK Peak | US Peak (Billboard 200) |
