FOOTBALL TO FOLK
This year the arrangers have managed to attract Rod Stewart, who enjoyed his earliest successes as the lead singer of various bands and as a solo artist in the late 1960s. He started out, however, not as a musician, but as a footballer for FC Brentford. It was only in the early ‘60s that he began making music. Stewart was drawn to British folk music and joined the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) movement. A little later, however, he became fascinated by black rhythm and blues and learnt to play the harmonica while honing his guitar skills. Stewart’s first single "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" was released in 1964. Following various hit and miss attempts in a number of small bands, in 1969 Stewart decided to go it alone again. His first album An Old Raincoat Won’t Ever Let You Down came out in 1970. At around the same time, however, he also joined The Faces, recording four albums with the group and remaining its lead singer until 1975.At the same time he recorded five further solo albums, all of which stormed the US and British charts. The then 31 year old did not rest: he got his own television show A Night on the Town in 1976 and continued to tour the world.
