It should be Rob Stewart
Rod Stewart is one of the best rock singers in the world and one of the most talented songwriters. He was the leader of the American music scene in the mid-1960s. One of the iconic figures after the British Invasion, his unique voice has also become one of the iconic features of the era, known as the ageless rock and roll cock. Rod Stewart, who has been in the music industry for 30 years, has always occupied a place in the music industry with his unique husky singing voice and emotional interpretation style. As a veteran singer, Rod Stewart is good at drawing from various styles such as folk, rock, soul, blues and even disco. inspiration.
Rod Steward was born in 1945 in a family of football fans in London, England. He was the youngest of five children. His father originally hoped that he would be able to ride on the green field and become a star when he grew up. Unexpectedly, he entered the rock music scene and became an idol in the hearts of fans all over the world. As a boy, Rod Steward traveled to Italy and Spain. After being deported back to the UK, after many twists and turns, he began his career as a solo singer.
Rod Steward's husky voice is very unique, and his articulation is also different. As early as 1968, when he joined Jeff Beck's band, he was already mature as a lead singer. Later, Rod Steward became the lead singer in the band Small Faces. The Faces' first two albums received a mediocre response, but they showed potential. During their performance, they were well-dressed, wearing satin shirts and plaid scarves on their upper bodies, and Rod Steward's loose blond hair made him particularly charming. But this band always had a strong stage performance, but the album was not famous. Critics' reaction was also polarized. Later, the Faces band disbanded in 1975, and Rod Steward began to go all out to develop his personal singing career.
In October 1971, Rod Stewart's single "Maggie May" hit the top of the charts, establishing Rod Stewart's status in the rock music scene. Since the mid-1960s, after experiencing the experience of many bands such as Five Dimensions, Shotgun Express, Jeff Beck Group, Small Faces, etc., Rod was finally able to stand alone in the 1970s and launch a lifetime of splendid singing career. During this period, Rod released two representative works "Every Picture Tells A Story" and "Never A Dull Moment", created many best-selling songs, and sang the championship song "Maggie" with his world-famous husky voice. May” and “You Wear It Well.”
Rod Stewart's first extremely successful classic album "Every Picture Tells A Story" was released in 1971. Many of the hit songs we just listened to came from this album, and Bob Dylan also sang for it. He created several works. Just like the title of the album, Rod Stewart originally relied on acoustic rock music to tell stories. The artistic techniques and realm of the works are much better than those of today's popular works.
Rod Stewart is one of the best rock singers in the world who emerged in the 1970s. His unique rooster-like husky voice has also become one of the iconic features of that era. Bryan Adams, Michael Bolton, Steven Tyler (lead singer of Aerosmith band), Paul Stanley (lead singer of Kiss band) and others were all his followers.
But after he became successful and grew older, he did not stick to his rock music style, but increasingly followed the trend in pop music, and squandered his time in movies. Coupled with his chaotic life, despite He is still an excellent singer and can still maintain high prestige and high record sales thirty years later, but this has caused him to decline from the altar of the godfather of rock music, and his music The career has never been able to regain its original glory. Therefore, the works we heard in his early years on Universal Records can be regarded as the songs born during his most creative period in music.
Rod Stewart, like Elton John, was the most successful "export product" in the British rock music industry in the 1970s, and he has been able to maintain vitality in the music scene for many years. Rod Stewart worked many jobs before becoming a singer, including building fences and joining a professional football team. Although he later quit to become a professional footballer, he has always maintained a high interest in football. He also played football into the auditorium and gave it to the fans. One of the stunts at the later concert. Rod Stewart then traveled to Europe and learned harmonica from folk singer Wizz Jones while in Spain. After returning to China, he learned guitar and joined some blues bands as the lead singer or recorded songs as an individual.
His road to success began when he joined the Jeff Beck Group, which was formed by Jeff Beck, one of the three major rock guitarists in the UK, after he left the Yardbirds. In 1971, Rod Stewart finally conquered both sides of the Atlantic with the song "Maggie May" and the album "Every Picture Tells A Story".
His early fashionable dress and broken voice that seemed to have been sung on the throat are his distinctive marks. Not only did Rod Stewart's records sell well, but his live concerts were even more charming. With endless energy, he is excellent at covering other people's works, from folk songs to black soul. He often arranges one or two such songs on the album. Entering the 21st century, I wonder what breakthrough Rod Stewart will have in his future musical direction. However, this rock star, who won the Grammy Legend Award in 1989 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, will maintain his glorious music record with abundant energy and increasingly refined singing skills.
