Rod Stewart
With a distinctive, raspy voice, Stewart came to prominence in the late 1960s and early '70s with The Jeff Beck Group and then The Faces and began a solo career in 1969. His hits include; "Reason to Believe", "Maggie May", "The First Cut is the Deepest", "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" Forever Young". In recent years Stewart has concentrated on singing 1930s and 1940s pop standards from the "Great American Songbook", written by songwriters such as Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin.
