The son of a Scottish shopkeeper, Stewart was born and raised in London, After a short stint as an apprentice to a pro soccer team, he joined a series of local bands that included Jimmy Powell and the Five Dimensions, the Hoochie Coochie Men, and Long John Baldry's group, which eventually morphed into Steampacket.

The band was expert at flashy blues rock, and the power of Beck Olaestablished Stewart as a rough and ready rock roll front man.
Inwhile still working with Beck, Stewart signed a contract with Mercury, His solo debut, The Rod Stewart Album Number,, was recorded with Mick Waller and Ron Wood of the Jeff Beck Group, plus Small Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan and guitarist Martin Quittenton.
Stewart's material was a grab bag of mellow folk songs, bawdy drinking tunes, a taste of soul, and a couple of barrelhouse rockers.
The album sold modestly Jeff Beck Group fans considered it too subdued, but critics were impressed by Stewart's overall sound.
Planning to form a new band with Stewart and the Vanilla Fudge's Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice, Beck disbanded his group.

On his own, he was different the moody Gasoline Alley amplified his reputation as an emotionally compelling storyteller.
When Every Picture Tells a Story came out in June of, the response was swift and strong, The record refined its predecessor's strong points, putting a rock roll spin on soul and RB items, and bringing some emotional heft to reflective folk tunes.
In October, the album sat in the Number One slots in America and Britain, the first record to achieve such status.
Its success was driven by "Maggie May," a Stewart Quittenton song that has become one of classic rock radio's most resilient ditties.
Before "Maggie May" had faded, Stewart followed up with a gritty version of the Temptations' "I Know I'm Losing You" Number,.
The similarly powerful Never a Dull Moment Number Two,, with his own "You Wear It Well" Number,, was also a hit.
With two gold albums made on his own, Stewart's role in the Faces became strained, Other labels wanted a piece of the star, and late inhe released his final disc for Mercury, Smiler Number.
Stewart hired veteran American producer Tom Dowd and Muscle Shoals session musicians to record his forthcoming Warner Bros.
