Roderick David Stewart (Londres, 10 de enero de 1945), conocido como Rod Stewart, es un músico, compositor y productor británico de rock, conocido mundialmente por haber sido vocalista en las bandas The Jeff Beck Group y Faces, como también por su exitosa y extensa carrera como solista. Con su distinguida voz rasposa inició su carrera como músico callejero para luego participar en The Dimensions y en el supergrupo The Steampacket durante los primeros años de la década de los sesenta.

Sir Roderick David Stewart (born 10 January 1945)[2] is a British singer and songwriter. Known for his distinctive raspy singing voice,[3] Stewart is among the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 120 million records worldwide.[4] His music career began in 1962 when he took up busking with a harmonica. In 1963, he joined the Dimensions as a harmonica player and vocalist. In 1964, Stewart joined Long John Baldry and the All Stars before moving to the Jeff Beck Group in 1967. Joining Faces in 1969, he also launched a solo career, releasing his debut album, An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down, that year. Stewart's early albums were a fusion of rock, folk music, soul music, and R&B.[5][6] His third album, 1971's Every Picture Tells a Story, was his breakthrough, topping the charts in the UK, US, Canada and Australia, as did its single "Maggie May". His 1972 follow-up album, Never a Dull Moment, also reached number one in the UK and Australia, while going top three in the US and Canada. Its single, "You Wear It Well", topped the chart in the UK and was a moderate hit elsewhere.
