One of the best all time recording artists has reached Number 1 after 30 years. Rod Stewart's new album, Time, shows all the vigor of a man who grew up in London. By a strange twist of fete, I'm closely connected to this icon of a man.
Time is Stewart's first album of new material for two decades and was inspired by the process of writing his recent autobiography. He was last at the top of the UK album chart with his Greatest Hits Vol 1 in 1979.
During the late Sixties, the Small Faces, a band of mod rockers who embraced soul and psychedelia, changed when Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood joined the band renamed Faces. The group took the Seventies by storm.
They say that any two individuals could be connected through at most five acquaintances.
During this time, in a life lived separate from my own before I knew him, my husband drove a taxi in London. He picked up various members of the band. He told me Rod was a shy, very polite young man, seven years younger than himself.
Roderick David "Rod" Stewart, CBE is a British singer-songwriter and one of the best selling artists of all time, having sold over 100 million records worldwide. Born: January 10, 1945 (age 68), Highgate. Rod Stewart gained induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2012.
Here's a list of popular songs going way back in time:
Maggie May. 1971
I don't Wanna Talk About it. Sailing. 1975
The First Cut is the Deepest. 1976
Forever Young. 1988
Have I Told You Lately. 1991
I am bound to everyone on this planet by a trail of six people. In this case, my connection to Rod Stewart is closer through the link of my husband.
In 1971, I lived in a cottage in Australia with an attached craft shop. I used to sit and spin wool from one of our flock of colored sheep while I listened to his songs. Little did I know, my life was about to change. After the failure of my marriage, I moved to London as a nanny. The following year, I met a man who charmed me enough to let down my guard. We've been married for 25 years.
I love the joy of life, Rod shows—so similar to my husband. There's something about the men born in London during the time before and after WW2's hardship.
