Sir Roderick David Stewart CBE (born 10 January 1945)
is a British rock and pop singer, songwriter and record producer. With his
distinctive raspy singing voice, Stewart is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having
sold over 250 million records worldwide. He has had ten number-one albums and 31 top ten singles in the UK, six of which reached number one. Stewart has had 16 top
ten singles in the US, with four reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. He was knighted in the 2016 Birthday Honours for services to music and charity.
Stewart's music career began in
1962 when he took up busking with a harmonica. In October 1963, he joined The Dimensions as harmonica player and vocalist. In 1964, Stewart
joined Long John Baldry and the All Stars before joining The Jeff Beck Group in 1967. Becoming the singer for the Faces in 1969, he also maintained a solo career releasing his debut solo
album that same year. Stewart's early albums were a fusion of rock, folk music, soul music, and R&B. His third solo album, 1971's Every Picture Tells a
Story was his breakthrough, topping the charts in the UK, US, Canada and
Australia. The ballad "Maggie May" off of it went to number
one for multiple weeks in those same countries. His 1972 follow-up album, Never a Dull Moment, was another UK and Australian
chart-topper while reaching the top three in the US and Canada. Its lead
single, "You Wear It Well", also topped the chart in
the UK while being a moderate hit elsewhere.
After a handful more UK top ten
hits, Stewart announced the breakup of the Faces in 1975. His next few singles
were ballads with "Sailing", off the 1975 UK and Australian
number-one album, Atlantic Crossing, becoming a hit in the UK and the
Netherlands (number one), Germany (number four) and other countries, but barely
charting in North America. A Night on the Town (1976), his fifth
straight chart-topper in the UK, began a three-album run of going number one or
top three in North America, the UK and Australia with each release. That
album's "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be
Alright)"
spent almost two months at number one in the US and Canada, and made the top
five in other countries. Foot Loose & Fancy Free (1977) featured the
major hit "You're In My Heart (The Final
Acclaim) as well as the rocker "Hot Legs". Blondes Have More Fun (1978) and its disco-tinged "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" both went to number one in Canada, Australia
and the US with "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" also hitting number one in the
UK and the top ten in other countries. Stewart's albums regularly hit the upper
rungs of the charts in the Netherlands throughout the 70s and in Sweden from
1975 onward.
After a disco and new wave period in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Stewart's music turned to
a soft
rock/middle-of-the-road style, with most of
his albums reaching the top ten in the UK, Germany and Sweden, but faring less
well in the US. The single "Rhythm of My Heart" was a top five hit in the UK, US and other
countries, with its source album, 1990's Vagabond Heart, becoming, at number ten in the
US and number two in the UK, his highest charting album in a decade. In 1993,
he collaborated with Bryan Adams and Sting on the power ballad "All for Love", which went number one in many countries. In the early 2000s, he
released a series of successful albums interpreting the Great American Songbook.
In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked him the 17th most successful artist on the "Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top
Artists". A Grammy and, Brit Award recipient, he was
voted at No. 33 in Q Magazine's list of the Top 100 Greatest
Singers of all time As
a solo artist, Stewart was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and he was inducted a second time into the US
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Faces.
Baby Jane don´t leave me hanging on the
line
I knew you when you had no one to talk to
Now you´re moving in high society
Don´t forget I know secrets about you
I used to think you were on my side
But now I´m no longer sure
I wish I knew what I know now before
When I give my heart again
I know it´s gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it´s gonna last forever
Baby Jane don´t it make you feel sad
Just when I thought that we were winning
You and I were so close in every way
Don´t time fly when you´re loving and laughing
I´ve said goodbye so many times
The situation ain´t all that new
Optimism´s my best defense
I´ll get through without you
When I give my heart again
I know it´s gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it´s gonna last forever
I won´t be that dumb again
I know it´s gotta last forever
When I fall in love again
I know it´s gonna last forever
Baby Jane I´ve said all I want to say
Go your own way don´t think twice about me
Cause I´ve got ideas and plans of my own
So long darlin´ I´ll miss you believe me
The lesson learned was so hard to swallow
But I know that I´ll survive
I´m gonna take a good look at myself and cry
When I give my heart again
I know it´s gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it´s gonna last forever
When I fall in love next time
I know it´s gonna last forever
I won´t be that dumb again
I know it´ll last forever
I knew you when you had no one to talk to
Now you´re moving in high society
Don´t forget I know secrets about you
I used to think you were on my side
But now I´m no longer sure
I wish I knew what I know now before
When I give my heart again
I know it´s gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
I know it´s gonna last forever
Baby Jane don´t it make you feel sad
Just when I thought that we were winning
You and I were so close in every way
Don´t time fly when you´re loving and laughing
I´ve said goodbye so many times
The situation ain´t all that new
Optimism´s my best defense
I´ll get through without you
When I give my heart again
I know it´s gonna last forever
No one tell me where or when
