Samenvatting:

The bad boy of American rock music. Rod Stewart always had a woman on his arm. He has had the ideal rock and roll career. He's done it all, sex, drugs and rock and roll. If you were alive in 1971, you have never forgotten "Maggie May", the story of an older woman and a young college student who shares her bed. This was sexy stuff back in the Seventies. Rod Stewart went on to fame and fortune and is one of the best-selling artists of the rock and roll era. This Legends of Rock & Roll book covers his life from birth until today. He turned 70 in 2015 and still can rock with the best of them.

We answer such questions as: Did Rod Stewart ever play Soccer professionally. Just exactly what is his favorite hobby. How many wives (and girlfriends) did he have over the years?

All the Legends of Rock & Roll books are essentially biographies, but I am interested primarily in the music. You'll find that the emphasis is on the music, how it came to be, who wrote it and performed it and any juicy tidbits about any given song or album.
