One of the all-time great rock and roll singers, a fact that may be obscured by his Rock Senior Tour persona as a human jukebox o'hits. Sang lead for the old Jeff Beck Group, then was picked to replace Steve Marriott in The Small Faces, which morphed into the Liquored-Up Lads of The Faces, a great early arena rock assemblage. Went solo, further honing his "Rod Stewart" character. Great football enthusiast, and a fervent serial monogamist with blonde "actresses" and models.
